The Elder Scrolls 6’s release date may be years away, but Bethesda is already teasing some big changes and improvements being made for the next-gen game believed to be in development for Xbox Series X and PC, and possibly PS5 as well. When Bethesda announced the next installment in the series back in 2018, it revealed that the engine for the series was being overhauled for not just the release of The Elder Scrolls 6, but Bethesda Game Studios’ other game, Starfield.
According to Bethesda’s Todd Howard, this engine update is going to have a substantial impact on the end product. In fact, Howard notes that this is engine overhaul is “probably the largest” the series has ever seen. Adding to this, Howard suggests the jump will be even greater than the jump from Morrowind to Oblivion.
To facilitate this update, Bethesda Game Studios has 5x more developers working on the engine than ever…
