The game's engine will be a huge leap forward in terms of visual quality and available features from past Bethesda games, as Howard claims that the upgrade will mark a more visible jump ahead in quality than even the huge technological gap between The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind and Oblivion . Apart from procedural generation, this engine will supposedly also improved animations, rendering, AI, and more. Speaking of AI, Howard specifically highlighted that NPCs will play bigger roles in future games, namely Starfield Side quests|https://starfieldgalaxy.com/ and The Elder Scrolls VI .

Starfield creator Bethesda Game Studios is helping to raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation's Mid-Atlantic chapter’s Evening of Wishes: Hope from Home auction by donating an eye-catching prize: the chance for the auction’s winner to create a character in the studio’s anticipated science-fiction title. Starfield was first announced during Bethesda’s E3 showcase back in 2018 standing alongside games like Rage 2, Doom Eternal , and the company's long-awaited next entry in the Elder Scrolls series . However, like The Elder Scrolls VI , Starfield ’s E3 reveal consisted of a short trailer that showed off little of the actual g

Bethesda has consistently made headlines over the last few months. The biggest shock came in September of last year when it was revealed that Microsoft had agreed to acquire ZeniMax Media in a deal worth $7.5 billion. This gave the Xbox parent company ownership not just of franchises such as Fallout , The Elder Scrolls , and DOOM but also of famous developers like Bethesda Game Studios and id Software. Now, it seems that Microsoft will also reap the benefits of Bethesda's foray into AAA licensed games, a future many could have not foreseen of the RPG stu

On that note, a patch of land to call your own would be a welcome addition to The Elder Scrolls VI. We saw moderately open-ended building mechanics introduced in Fallout 4, and while there were many flaws with it, there were still a lot of powerful tools at your disposal. We're also seeing some light town-building in the upcoming mobile title The Elder Scrolls: Blades, so perhaps this is an idea they’re already tossing around for the sixth entry. It would be interesting to see Bethesda try and take this newer mechanic and redefine how exactly it wo

With Bethesda seemingly involved in a growing number of major projects, including a Fallout television show, fans can't be blamed for growing worried about progress on Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI , especially when the company has been so quiet about the two far-off titles. Hopefully, this confirmation from the studio will reassure players that Bethesda has not lost sight of what they value m

Bethesda has confirmed that it is fully focused on the development of both Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI . Replying to fan concerns on Twitter about the fact that Todd Howard is involved with too many projects, Bethesda Senior VP of Marketing Pete Hines reassured them that those two titles are still his main priority. Howard, who has helped to lead both the Fallout and The Elder Scrolls series for more than a decade, also has roles in several other projects according to Hines. But both he and Bethesda as a whole are committed to finishing up work on the two high-profile games. The communications executive promised that recent announcements will not affect the development of either g

Despite the increased amount of Starfield -related leaks, the game continues to remain a mystery. This disappointing situation, however, might change quite soon as Microsoft is reportedly planning to hold a Bethesda-related gaming event somewhere in the middle of March. It could be an excellent opportunity to reveal some enticing information about Bethesda’s future and its upcoming projects - including, of course, Starfield . The event is yet to be officially confirmed as it is just another insider statement at the mom

Bethesda is still prioritizing work on both Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI , with director Todd Howard focusing on the two titles' development over other projects. Fans had begun to grow concerned about the company being stretched too thin following the recent announcement that the publisher was also creating a brand-new Indiana Jones game in partnership with Lucasfilm Games, with Todd Howard in an executive producer role. Developer MachineGames, best known for working on Wolfenstein : The New Order and its sequel, is leading the proj

However intriguing this auction prize may be, it still does not give fans much more concrete details about the game itself. There may be some news on the horizon, though. Jeff Grubb, noted industry insider, hinted on his podcast last week that Microsoft may currently be planning an event in which the company will discuss its intentions for Bethesda. There has been no official word about this from either company, howe
