How TES6 will affect ESO population

I'll likely stick with ESO over any new installment of the Elder Scrolls.

Skyrim's Creation Club kind of soured my mood for any newer releases from Bethesda, which means I am not likely to spend my time in those games.

Heck, I am still living in Oblivion's age.

the CC was more for consoles then pc. Giving modders access to devs, while giving consoles bonus stuff outside in game assets/ scripts.

it is just cosmetic things modders already have access too on pc while ps4 doesn't have access. It not the best, but better then nothing.

Will ESO community leave the project for trying TES6?

1. You DO GO ON.
2. MMO hardliners will get ESO to themselves.
3. MMO hardliners will rejoice when all their PvP wishes come true.
4. Proper TES players will leave in droves, scarred irreversibly by the MMO experience.

1. Thank me later.
2. Just send money.

You know I'm right (i knowz punkchuation).

I'm both an MMO fan, and TES fan. And imo ESO fits the bill as an mmo TES game. Which feels like how mmo should be. An open world to explore with friends. too many mmo play like linear rpg and no longer feel open world.

i just lvl up by playing, which feels more organic them most MMO.

what info is currently for TES6, will it be on shelves this year?

No, it won't - and most likely as well not next year. The earliest I could think of is 2020.

It wont, people come and go in MMOs....they play for a few months...then go away and play something else...then come back, etc etc.

Rumors = some dude speculating on a blog based on Bethesda still existing. Please.

When TES 6 comes out, a lot of people will focus on it and take a break from ESO. Many will come back after some time because they will want to play the content of ESO. That being said, some TES fans can spend a really long time on a new game.

I wonder why you think its the same type of player that plays the games? I mean, if I played ESO for my Elder Scrolls fix, I would have deleted it long long ago...it doesnt look like an Elder Scrolls game, it doesnt play like an elder scrolls game...the story isnt nearly as good as an Elder Scrolls game...they are completely different genres, ESO is a MMO, Elder Scrolls games are single player experiences. Its like saying that FIFA2020 is going to affect ESO...I am sure there is a cross section that plays both, but that works both ways.

I play ESO for my elder scrolls fix, I have a feeling a lot of others do as well but that's simply speculation. This is my first MMO and most likely my last as I just prefer the more single player interface for whatever reason and play this game as if it was single player. The sole reason I bought ESO was because I was tired of Skyrim and there was nothing else elder scrolls on the horizon. The lore, the gameplay, the scenery and locations, the crafting and collecting is all very similar in my opinion. I think its a big reason why this game has the population it does, because its drawn in a lot of casuals who do not play it because its an MMO, but because its elder scrolls.

We'll see Star Field long before TES 6.

It’s five or six years away at least, and even if it does come out it will be another mmo timed to release as this one declines, they have proven an elder scrolls mmo can be done. There will not be any more single player ones.

I wouldn't necessarily say an MMO, more like a live service type of game. Yes, an Elder Scrolls MMO will sell, but ESO vastly underperformed compared to the levels they were hoping for. Bethesda Game Studios recently merged with Battlecry Studios, who themselves were making the game Battlecry, which from what we saw was intended to be a free to play multiplayer action combat game for up to 32 players. It wouldn't surprise me if the new BGS studio in Austin were planning to make some sort of Live service, which could be Elder Scrolls related and be completely separate from the Maryland and Montreal Studios. On the other hand, they could be implementing live service type "features" into the next "three big projects" that BGS has lined up.

I don't know where this "ESO vastly underperformed..." stuff is coming from.... ESO has sold over 10 million copies (so far...) and was voted "Best MMO" for 2015, 2016 and 2017 by MMORPG.com...
Considering Zenimax Online Studios developed ESO... not Bethesda, or Bethesda's owner, Zenimax Media, Bethesda's merger is irrelevant....

you got proof of those rewards? i know ff14 was labeled the best mmo a few times across a few sites. ESO did fail at launch due to the poor mash up of MMo + TES game play. having to pre order the collecters edition to unlock imperials. It gained traction with One tamerial which fixed most stuff.

My God! This is the Internet... I'm sure MMORPG.com has a website where you can look it up! I don't feel the need to spoonfeed people....

Really?? Is that why I've been playing ESO for 4 and a half years??

I think a lot of people tried ESO at first, "...just until ES6 comes out..." Now, they are so enamored with the MMO aspect of ESO, they won't play ES 6 until a multi-player mod is introduced... and even then they will be disappointed...

provide a link with proof. I don't see any awards listed on the ESO website. If you make a statement, you need to back it up. I know ff14 was given top mmo a few years. Which you can see on there website @ finalfantastyxiv.com under the lodestone portion, on the web tab on the right. I've followed ESO a lil bit never saw it win any thing. Game released with a sub, then went f2p. mostly due to backlash to how much of the mmo aspect was not there, and the overpriced collecters edition with its race lock.

mmo and solo games with optional multiplayer are two different things, and not always the case. ff11 has been out 10+ years and no one asked for a multiplayer aspect in solo ff games.
