Hehe. ES6 may become the longest/farthest postponed game since Beyond Good and Evil 2, the later now saying it will be released in 2025… maybe 😂
The previous world record holder before BG&E2 was Duke Nukem Forever which took 14 years to develop and 9 years from the initial announcement in 2001 to the release in 2010.
Half life 2 episode 3 is supposedly still in the works and supposed to have been out in 2007. You might argue it was cancelled in 2011 when they announced half-life 3 was in development. Half life 3 has yet to be officially cancelled and leaks came out a few years ago of it being an active project.
The Elder Scrolls is the best series I’ve stopped caring about.
Oh goddamnit, another creation engine game?!
a wholly new engine would almost certainly break mods or atleast make them harder to make as janky as creation engine can be it’s the best engine for modding there is and bethesda games absolutely need modding and not just cause the glitches
I’m out of breath from reading this.
then breathe
We used to blame the Bethesda jank on their last engine, Game ryo. Safe to say that it’s not the engine at this point.
Creation Engine is based on Gamebryo.
Then making a new engine won’t fix the problem, because it’ll just be based off creation engine.
The engine is only half of the issue. Fallout New Vegas is far better than any other in the series. While it still has the engine bugs, it also does what it needs to and does that better games can be made than starfield with the engine stack they have. They are just design limited due to their business choices. Not solely their engine but their design is clearly lacking as well.
Obviously
Judging by Starfield, they need all the time they can possibly get. It’s gonna be a long’un.
That puts it at “at least” 15 years after the last entry in the series
Hard to imagine it will have much of a fan base
But Bethesda could very well release a Skyrim Extra Special Edition in the interim, and fans will lap it up, no doubt. Jokes aside, there are many large fan-projects in the works which fans are looking forward to, such such as OpenMW, Skyblivion and Skywind, not to mention more “normal” mods for Skyrim itself, so I doubt the interest in the franchise is going away any time soon.
To be fair, Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 came out in the 90s.
I would have attributed it’s success to the success of Divinity and DnD
Wait we are expecting new consoles by 2026?
Why wouldn’t we? The PS5 is already 3* years old, most cycles are around 7 years
That’s what I was wondering. Do they know something? I would’ve assumed ps5 have enough tech to get to 2026
I’m pretty sure Elder Scrolls 6 never existed and was just made up to distract people from all the overreaction to Creation Club.
I could have sworn they mentioned targeting 2026 years ago when the teaser trailer dropped. I’m honestly surprised that it hasn’t been pushed back further with everything that happened with the studio in the years since.
Considering the chart still lists Starfield’s release date as “H1 2023”, it was probably made before Starfield’s delay and Spencer’s comments on it being 5+ years away are probably more in line with their current outlook.
