Asked at the microphone of IGN on Monday, the director of Bethesda mentioned in particular the distant future of the studio. Todd Howard spent almost a quarter of an hour giving details on the design of Starfielduntil the subject of subsequent projects is discussed.
The Elder Scrolls VI is in pre-production, and, you know, we’ll do Fallout 5 ensuite.
However, this is of course a long distance shot. Todd Howard knows it and has said it before: Bethesda Game Studios’ expansive action-RPGs are behemoths that take years to craft. Starfield will arrive in the first half of 2023 after at least five years of intensive gestation. TES VI will follow with no doubt as long a delay as. The schedule will be frustrating for players waiting to return to the Wasteland. But it is necessary to obtain a complete and satisfactory result.
Indeed, unless there is a change in the organization of the teams at the developer, Fallout 5 should therefore not arrive before… a good decade! What still feed many dreams on the road. But at least it looks like the project has outgrown the stage of the simple list of ideas.
