Glad that we have silenced the "Eso is preventing es6 from being released" crowd

Can’t wait for The Elder Scrolls VI: Skyrim 2, Bethesda’s new battle royale game!!!4!!44!

On a serious note, it’s still a long wait and as such, we cannot predict whether it will have an impact on ESO or not. My bet is a no. I’m very stoked to see a new title in the series.

Just please, for Azura’s sake, listen to the fans of the series, not Skyrim. TES: VI > Skyrim 2.

Doubt if you will, my Executive Producer does not lie. I think I will go into the future to see for myself.*

How far into the future are we talking about any potential release date for any potential product?

*mitigating circumstances may render today's Executive Producer's comments as unreliable

By the time ES6 comes out ESO will likely be 7 or 8 years old which is nearing the end of the active lifespan of an MMO. It's a smart financial decision to delay its launch when ESO has done so well. If it had come out, say, a year after ESO launched I'm guessing ESO wouldn't have done as well. Just IMO

Now we will just hear the constant "TES VI is going to destroy ESO" nonsense from now until launch day.

Here are a few predictions.

Zenimax will get blamed because TES VI will have a crown store and there will be loot boxes

The faithful (aka nutters) will scream because it won't have Skyrims feel just like Skyrim didn't have Oblivion's feel.

The same "faithful" will scream that it isn't a true TES game because it will have a multi-player component.

All in all you will just just as much whinging on these threads as you already do ....perhaps more which is pretty sad.

You got that wrong there mate... XD We complain for over 15 years that no TES content brings back the feels we had in TES III -

I was pretty worried what would become of the TES brand... I even thought they would shelve it for some time, and now they made a new handheld game. Which actually looks quite promising to me... also... NO SPECULATION whatsoever about where TES VI will play? Looks kind of Summersetish... But it might be just a Engine prototype... I still hope for Elsweyr.

It was always stupid, considering ESO and Skyrim were in development at the same time. So are Legends and Blades. Bethesda has no problem working on and releasing different games with the same IP at the same time.

Even a Very Special Skyrim is real. They literally took the meme and did it.

Asardes · June 2018

That craggy terrain from the short trailer hints at somewhere in High Rock, most likely Wrothgar or Rivenspire. I wouldn't be surprised if they set it somewhere in the 4th era - TES single player games are chronological - with a possible looming (2nd) Aldmeri Dominion invasion against High Rock. In Skyrim it's mentioned that they once tried to subdue the Redguards and failed, so maybe they'll try further north. They can invoke historical legitimacy, considering the Direnni hegemony; also Bretons are really half-elf, so maybe the elves see them as their kin, to be brought in their would-be empire. But this is all my speculation as the plot and location may turn out as something else entirely. Bethesda has a tradition of only hinting at releases about 5-6 months before they actually do it. My guess is that TES VI will be released soon, in November or December, and FO 5 at the same time; it's entirely possible if one of them won't be done in house - New Vegas was done by another studio and it didn't turn out that bad so they may do it again.

Lamiai · June 2018

I personally can't wait to read the in game chats of people who have paid for ESO and yet will tell us repeatedly that this game will die when TeS VI hits, gunna be awesome reading the same high level wit!

It most likely won't be; Todd Howard said that their priority right now is another "next-generation" game for consoles that haven't even been released yet, Starfield, and TES VI will be the game after that; so we're looking at 2-3 years at least.

I agree though that the terrain looks High Rock/Wrothgar-ish and let's not forget the last standing Tower is the Adamantine Tower on the Island of Balfiera...

Well, real long-lasting MMOs have now like 15 years and up on their counter - asian crap is short-lasting and meant to be that way, because they toss out MMOs like crazy there. I would be very disappointed, if ESO would just be able to make 7 years. It has the potential for more, but it should stick to it's "play as you want" and "be able to play most of the game solo" promise. And then again, if TES6 has multiplayer and would be similar to Fallout 76, I would not be that much excited about it coming. ESO has so much to play and it is growing even more every year - more than enough to play. If TES6 is not a true single-player game, why would I even want to play it?-

I think TES6 isn´t a competitor to ESO or ESO to TES6. Because I can´t see why people no more play ESO when they play TES6. They are different Games. May be it give less activity on the first Month in ESO when TES6 is released. But than.. i think ESO will be normalized.

On the contrary: TES6 can support ESO and reversed. They can arouse interest to play ESO or TES6.

Agreed. Zenimax as the parent company of Bethesda Softworks LLC and ZOS wouldn’t allow one of their game products cannibalizes each other. It would ruin the sustainability and the Company image as a whole. I believe ESO and TES6 will support each other vice versa. What makes me curious is Todd Howard mind in the Company long term strategy for the Elder Scrolls franchise... ES name is legendary same like the Fallout franchise. Let us look at the wider perspective

This is the very reason why i believe tes 6 will be in akavir , leaving all of tamriel to zos to play with.
This can lead to an healty life for the mmo, and a fresh new beginning for the single player game

This is actually what I think and expect as well - that TES6 is not located in Tamriel, but on one of the other continents of Nirn.

Considering that atmora is mostly show ( and from what we have seen there is no snow), yokuda is very little and a dead continent, aldmeris is imho too vague as a "real" place to settle a main game the only two remaing are pyandonea ( i believe that for a main game it will be too little) and akavir.

So, the fact that we won't see an actual original TES game on the current generation of consoles means nothing? The only new Elder Scrolls game on the current gen IS ESO. That was the next Elder Scrolls game. The only TES games we have had this gen will be Legends, ESO, and Blades (am I missing any?). They said Starfield was next gen, and that after that is TES VI. So, we are probably looking at 2021-2022 for TES VI, over a decade from the last entry. If anything is taking time away, it's Fallout and non TES games, but, Arena (1994), Daggerfall (1996), couple of other games between, then Morrowind (2002), Skyrim (2011). They got ahold of other games, and started work on various projects, no longer coming out so fast.

I was 17 with Arena, 19 with Daggerfall, and 25 with Morrowind, then 34 for Skyrim. But, it will be 12-14 years between Skyrim and TES VI. Kids in their mid-teens that played Skyrim will be in their late twenties when playing the NEXT one. And you seriously think ESO and Fallout stuff did not cause that? Not exactly a series that people grow up playing anymore, it's more a game that people remember, and now they have a sequel coming some years down the road. In a world where we get a 'new' (and I use the term loosely) CoD and Battlefield game every year, going 12+ years between iterations is kind of a push, and clearly shows they have a lot on their plate. So, yeah, I think it's a bit ridiculous to say that all of that other stuff didn't play into it.

Oh, and notice, the next Fallout is basically an MMO with tiny limits on players per server? They have discovered that if they make an MMO, add micro-transactions, they make a ton of money, and can keep updating that game, gives them longer to work on the single player games. ESO was designed to be an Elder Scrolls game to hold people over for a long time until they got another TES game out. By making their two big franchises into MMOs as well, they can pump out tons of other stuff (like Legends, Blades, etc) and, I would fully expect in the years after 76, we see a card game, a mobile adventure game, etc for Fallout. Kind of surprised we don't have something like Shelter for TES, yet....

I am happy, that TES series games come out so rarely now. Why? Because it means that TES series hasn't become a milking cow like many other series in game industry did. It means, that each new entry is going to be thoroughly designed and written. As a long standing TES fan I am absolutely fine if they take a dozen years to release a new game. Just let it be THE game. So far, Bethesda didn't disappoint me with TES franchise, which I cannot say about Fallout (I really enjoyed F3 and New Vegas, but the last game was meh). Looking at Fallout we can see what happens when the games are being created more often than necessary.

P.S. You forgot Oblivion in your timeline. I am not surprised though, despite the graphics, the game itself was just above average

That was also my first impression. Then I started feeling that the terrain seems a bit too alien to be somewhere on Tamriel and I realized that I might be looking upon Akavir for the first time.

Is it a coincidence that ESO is also getting the Tsaesci crafting motif later this month? Maybe it was a teaser for the E3 announcement.

I wish I could be excited, but after Summerset butchered Altmer lore I just feel a little sick to my stomach TBH.

A thirty six second trailer appeased them, I love it.

It looked like High Rock if I had to guess.

I was thinking Craglorn (so Hammerfell), though it's a bit greener than it is in ESO if that's the case. It's not quite green enough to be Summerset I think. Do we know of any other giant pits in the ground?

Septimus_Magna · June 2018

I just hope TES VI will have a proper combat system and no in-combat pausing to heal.

And lets hope in the meantime ESO doesnt go too much towards Skyrim light/heavy attack combat system.

No one said TES VI isn't an MMO.

I mean thats you're own personal opinion that people arent excited for the content that was announced. I look at eso differently then most i assume. Im just glad to have an elder scrolls game thats fully cannon and gets updated with content every 3 months like clockwork and will continute to expand. I will still play the hell out of the single player es games , but why the hate for an elder scrolls game that gives us all more of what people want and if they don't want that then dont play it. I do however wish instead of maybe new dungeons this year they would have maybe done a malestorm revamp or addition and the open world needs a buff because its way to easy at the moment with any form of CP under your belt.

I did a long thinking on it since the drop yesterday. I hardly think ES6 will affect ESO. I think will take at least 2 to 4 years before its launched. If ESO doesn't get it's *** by then, well, it will be dead anyways.

Bethesda's fanbase seems to be made up of two types: those who love ESO more than Fallout and those who love Fallout more than ESO, with a few in between who enjoys both games.

There is no mistaking which has the larger audience, and if ESO was impacted by losing nearly 1/3 of its player base when Fallout 4 was released, it's going to hit much harder when TES VI is released.

ESO will lose at least 50% of its player base when it's released, and the game will definitely feel the impact. It may not shut down, but there's no mistaking revenue for the game will tank faster than a Dragonknight.

Hard to say how this will impact ESO, but unless they find a way to tie the two franchises together, I see ESO being destroyed by TES VI.

Skyrim is still played by more Bethesda fans than all other Bethesda games combined.

Once players are "done" with Elsweyr, they'll come back, provided ESO hasn't lost too much revenue during the release.
