TES is a single player game. ESO is a MMORPG. Two completely different genres. Go online and ask in zone chat how many people have ever played TES. Probably less than 10% across all platforms. In the beginning, the TES players complained about how different ESO was and left. A persons taste in games does overlap, but for the majority, people who play MMORPGS generally stick to MMORPGS because it's the player interaction they play for. I can't believe this question is even being asked.

Considering I hate almost everyone for no good reasons

I'll still keep playing until the very end, I love this game waay too much.

Thanks so much for this thread, haven't laughed this hard in ages

Todd Howard said they don't want to be a vending machine endlessly grinding out the same titles, that they have big ideas for something new and I'm stoked to see what it is, maybe some big steampunk noir type thing?

Eso is still pumping money into the ZOS piggyback and shows no sign of slowing down, seriousely, I remember when stater islands only saw the odd crafting mat farmer, now they are swarming with baby charecters

There may be another elder scrolls game, but if I had to guess it would be in 7 to 10 years and it's deffinately not going to be single player, it's gonna be another mmo and I cannot frickin wait!!! Imagine an mmo that picks up on the empire vs thalmore situation post skyrim.


Oh my god, I don't even need a commercial, just take my money now

Omg no, it will not be a MMO. It would kill the whole franchise. And OF COURSE Bethesda wants to be money machine, you really think they don't care if they don't do a lot of money?

What is dead may never die.

To me they are two completely different games.
I dont like the first person shooter style combat of the original games so I will always play ESO for the MMO interface style of game.

Plus I would miss zone chat.

You'll see less of the people who play the game for the story/solo content, but I imagine most of the people that are here for the MMO itself, Elder Scrolls fan or not, will continue to play.

TES6 will need to be pretty amazing IMO. As bad as ESO can be with the problems it has, they better spice up TES6 more than Fallout 4.

"Will ESO "die" when Elder Scrolls 6 will come out?"

No, because according to another thread ESO will be dead by Christmas.

Why dead before Christmas?

Well, because less people played the game the month after the free access week than played it during the month that included the week of free access.

So there you have it, proof the game will be gone before Christmas. And not just any Christmas either, I think they mean Christmas 2017.

So if you are a completion freak ya better get on it, ya got a little over three months to finish.

Considering there are still living people who play EverQuest...I doubt it...

I say thee nay.

As i have said before, ESO life will depend solely on the technology route they decide to take.

Windows 7 leaves extended support in Jan of 2020, and much like when Windows Vista support expired, GPU vendors dropped support for DX10. When Windows 7 leaves extended support, vendors (AMD and Nvidia) will EOL Direct X 11 as well (Meaning no new driver updates to optimize or fix any issues with DX 11) Microsoft will also stop updating it.

Comapring ESO to WOW is simply unfair because WOW is not on consoles. The majority of ESO playerbase is on consoles, WOW is a PC only game.

Around 2020 or so you will probably see the next gen of consoles and there is zero gurantees they will be backwards compatible....API's change, hardware and software progresses, things are made obsolete and new things take their place. porting is not always so simple.

I'd like to see ESO be ported to DirectX 12 or OpenGL Vulcan as that would pretty much guarantee the game would take very little to port next gen as thats what those consoles will most likely be using...no wya Microsoft leaves even a shred of the DX 11 api on the next gen of consoles...they want to get away from that completely, and Sony has embraced OpenGL Vulcan big time and literlaly wants to build their next console around it.

TES6 will be its own thing independently. They started working on it a long time ago, don't let Hines fool you. Its just not done yet, and they don't want to announce anything until its close to release. They are changing a lot on their game engine. They are in no rush, they know exactly what they want the game to be. It will come in time.

Honestly, I don't think you will see TES6 until the next console gen, I think that has been the plan all along.

So if ESO goes from 2014-2021 thats a pretty good run for a game that was in development from 2007 till 2013.

If you know the history of Bethesda, Pete Hines, etc...nothing lasts forever...at some point they will feel they have hit a wall creatively where they can no longer push and convey the world they want with the engine ESO has, when that day comes, they will move on the next chapter.

ESO won't go one forever like WOW has...thats not Bethesda/Zenimax media MO...pay attention to what Hines says "they go for quality NOT quantity". When they feel ESO is too dated technologically, they will move on to the next project just like the always do.

PS: I fully believe ZOS has been working on Fallout Online since at least late 2015....Bethesda Corporate(Zenimax Media) hired ZOS to be their MMO shop....its make 100% sense to make a Fallout Online considering Bethesda/Zenimax sued and fought Interplay in court to prevent them from making an Fallout MMO...you don't do that unless you have future plans for a Fallout MMO.

Fallout OInline will most likely replace ESO at some point in the future as I don't see them running two MMO's at the same time, and there is far too much money on the table for them not to make a MMO based in the Fallout Universe....i'd totally buy and play Fallout Online when it comes out....about 40 million other folks would too...
