As I get it no one who worked on skyring worked on ESO, so I doubt that anyone from the team of ESO will work on TES6

I believe this was because ESO was being developed at the time same Skyrim was being developed. The situation is different now, so there is a greater chance some developers might be involved.

Bethesda and Zenimax is not the same company, firstly.

Bethesda = Elder scrolls single player games
Zenimax = Elder Scroll online with borrowed rights from bethesda.

So Zenimax is making a new game? awesome, good for them =D A game company with only one game is unheard of anyhow. More games, more experience for the developers, better future for the company.

Will this do anything with ESO? For now, no... Down the line, maybe.. Easy logic truly. If ESO is popular they will continue. If it's dying they will milk it. And who wouldn't do that?

They are the same company. That would be like saying Texas, California and New York are not part of the United States of America.

While they may differ a little, it's still ruled by the same person. Bethesda came first. Zenimax came second since Bethesda needed a shell company. Then Bethesda grew up some big boy shoes, said they don't need 2K or anyone else and published their own games. That is why we have Bethesda Softworks (publishing) and Bethesda Game Studios (developers) and Zenimax that "owns" them. Also Zenimax Online (or Zenimax Online Studious. But offically the studios is left out) is also a developer.

In the end, it's Todd who runs the show. Not sure who his bosses are, but it's a company made by lawyers and run by lawyers.

Since ESO's revenue is based largely on the crown store, I suspect that revenues will plunge for a few months after TES 6's release. ZOS's new, non-TES game will make up for that.

This makes no sense to me. Maybe you or the two people who agree with you can explain it. If TES VI is coming out and sales will be lost, how can you get those sales for the new game? After all they are going to TES VI?

So why spend more money, time and resources on something that people will not play since they are playing TES VI?

Makes no sense at all.

"Oh look, TES VI is coming. That means less people will play ESO".

"OK, let's make a new game so people will not play ESO and TES VI".

"OH wait, if they are playing TES VI, how will they play our new game?"

"Let's go back to making ESO viable to keep playing then, shall we?"

Like really. The new game if it's a new game and not a sequel to ESO, then it's supposed to be played with all games, not just either/or. Again, just makes no sense to me to throw more money if people are going to play another game. You don't make another game for the sake of a new game is coming out if nobody is going to play your current game?

So if ESO is not going to be played because of TES VI, how on earth will the new game be played then because of TES VI?

Nope, but you will get hickups.

We have known this for quite some time. We also know that it's a new IP.
Very likely it's going to be a Starfield MMO to accompany BGS' next single player game.

NorthernNightmare

I doubt this will kill eso as its doign great right now, I see no reason why ZOS would put it on the backburner

SantieClaws

From the perspective of this one it would make no sense to pull the plug on us all for a good number of years yet, whatever else is going on.

It takes time to build up a population, for that population to care. Right now the population is growing no?

This is the point at which you build - you put all your effort into being stronger and helping those new travellers put down roots in Tamriel. Roots for the long term. This is why housing is so important yes. If a traveller will stay they need somewhere to sleep out of the rain.

You do not shrug the shoulders and go 'Meh. let's try something new instead'. You do not throw away that which you have worked so hard to build up.

Walls, npcs, angry creatures, spaceships, big swords. All these things take time but can be made according to a plan. A community grows in it's own way, it's own shape and at it's own speed. You are lucky if it works out well.

When you finally have a relatively healthy community as we do you should not even think about throwing away that gift.

This one does not think they will.

The question would be: Are they working on another fantasy role playing mmo with pvp?

I doubt they are, so it's likely not something that directly competes with eso.

Hell, it could be a doom mmo.

No. I mean an actual world like ESO, so we can have Washington DC, New Vegas, California and new places added into the world so we are not just stuck in one location.

Also have people, real people, NPCs.

Cool, so it's pretty much comfirmed that ESO will be degraded into "Milking"-status in near future.

ZOS can still invest heavily in ESO and have other games
There is no issue.

I'm sure those over at ArenaNet and Guild Wars 2 thought the same thing - before 143 people were laid off and their new projects cancelled.

As someone who is interested in seeing ESO grow with new features and game systems, it's been painfully obvious that ESO has already slid into that status. 2019 's "Season of the Dragon" would be more aptly named "Season of Hype but little Substance." Yes, the game is getting a new class, but look back to 2017 where it got a new class AND 3 new crafting systems AND a new PVP Mode! There's been a yearly drop in significant new features since then:



I'm not saying Elsweyr isn't cool, it is. I am saying this year is lacking in extra substance. Morrowind and Summerset were cool, too, but they brought quite a bit more new features with them. Dragon's are just Dolmens3.0 and this whole push to try to force "an overarching story" as a feature only highlights the lack of new real features, especially when good stories have always been present in previous Chapters/DLCs and they've always had threads connecting them.

Look at what's been added this year with a critical eye; it's apparent that they've only met the bare minimum of expectations for this year's quarterly releases. They still might end up pulling a hail mary in this years last two quarters, but I'm not holding my breath for it. If you want to check out a more critical comparison, and look at it from a few different angles, I've got links in my sig.

To anyone being scared of ESO's future. Just don't... This game so far has the potential to become top 1 MMO and beat WOW. There is no way they would just ignore it and start milking it just because they're planning on releasing some new game that might not even succeed.

It has more to do with not have two TES games running concurrently. Many ESO players are committed to the TES universe. I can guaranteed that those players will pick one over the other.

A new game would not be seen as direct competition to a new TES game. I don't know about you, but I tend to play more than one game at a time. But I wouldn't play two games in the same universe at the same time.

ManwithBeard9

We've known ZOS has been in the beginning stages of development of a brand new IP dating back to last year. Being that it's a new IP, that means no TES, no DOOM, no Prey, all brand new game. I'm interested to see where this goes.

TorvenTool

There will always be new games on the market making bunches of players leaving ESO for a while. As soon there is a new MMORPG that runs just a little better than ESO (which indeed isn't too hard to achieve ) lots of ppl will leave and maybe not return.

Damn I wish it's a full fledged Fallout MMO. But that chances of that happening is 0% lol

Suspect they hold back main Skyrim chapter until after TES VI, I would done that, add in some very wanted features like spell crafting and release it say 6 month after TES VI.
New game is not ESO2 and probably not TES related at all. ESO is not so old its any point of making an 2 and you don't want to compete against yourself for customers.

It could be an Fallout or Starfield MMO or it could be something totally different like an battle royal set in the Doom universe.
It will have to be of the scope you want an MMO centered studio to work on however.
No very serious effect on ESO, except we might loose on DLC because launch of other game is an mess and need to be fixed.

Wildberryjack

Adding more IPs is what good studios do. I don't see a problem here. If it's a good game then they will get double my money

MentalxHammer

LOL ZoS should just stop making games all together. Even Fallout 76 was in a canon loved by many gamers and completely failed. A new IP will just flop. I hate that my favorite MMO is in the hands of these ingrates.

Im almost postive, aside from asset assistence and logistcal back and forth, zos projects are entirety independent from BSW projects.

It was already said to be a wholly orginal IP.
