According to critics, the developer’s hands are getting increasingly tied with each new game and Bethesda is also running out of provinces to make games on while maintaining continuity.
Most gamers and critics believe that even if “The Elder Scrolls 6” makes a full and total reboot of the storyline and completely deviate from the series’ narrative, they would certainly not mind because the important thing is the gameplay.
However, some critics opine that if Bethesda is going to reboot the franchise, then it might as well call it a new game instead of calling it as “The Elder Scrolls 6” because the numerical figure at the end denotes continuity.
Incidentally, it was during the E3 2016 that Todd Howard decided to reveal in an interview that his team is now working on “The Elder Scrolls 6.”
Howard also disclosed that Bethesda is working on two other large projects at the moment so the development on “The Elder Scrolls 6” is not getting much attention compared to the two, which are expected to launch first.
The game director said that “The Elder Scrolls 6” is still a very long way to go. He said that they will be focusing on the game’s quality and would surely not rush anything even if it means releasing the game at a far later date.
