Todd Howard and Bethesda Games Studio are popular among fans for their action role-playing games. Howard has been associated with Bethesda Games Studio for a long time and has many hit games under his name, like Fallout. However, when it comes to the fans, The Elder Scrolls series is one of their best titles to date.
Moreover, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is widely regarded as one of the best games in the series. Till date, the game has seen the release of three DLCs in the form of additional content.
Todd Howard on most players not completing Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
Apart from getting the additional content, the main game in itself was very long. Moreover, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim- Special Edition was the longest game in the series as it came with 118 hours of playable content.
The game comes with unique enemies, and a number of quests, which allows the players to proceed in the game according to their liking.
Before The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim- Special Edition was released, Todd Howard had an exclusive interview with TIME journalists in 2016, where he spoke about the jumbo-sized role-playing game.
During the interview, the journalist asked him to throw more light on the ending of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, as they were never able to complete the game even after dedicating hundreds of hours to it. Howard didn’t reveal how the game ended, but agreed that since there are so many things to explore, it is easy for the players to get distracted.
In the interview, he was also asked how he felt, as players are only able to see a fraction of the Skyrim game. To this he replied,
There are so many areas that we put work into that people don’t see
He did, however, add that people not completing the game is a good thing, as they believe instead of focusing on completing it, they should be more concerned about having fun while playing.
The upcoming Elder Scrolls VI game
When it comes to Elder Scrolls VI, very little information about the game is available online. The game was announced by the developers five years ago, and since then, there has been no official update about it. This has frustrated a lot of fans as they have been waiting for the upcoming game for a long time.
While players eagerly wait for Elder Scrolls VI, they can expect the game to come out in 2026. This release window is based on the documents that were leaked during the infamous FTC v. Microsoft court case. The leaked documents also revealed that the games will skip the consoles and will only be available on PC.
Bethesda was previously focused on Starfield, which may have led to the delay in the release of the Elder Scrolls game. However, as the development team has now shifted its focus from Starfield, Elder Scrolls fans can expect to get some good news soon.
