Sure some people will move from ESO to Elder Scrolls 6 but most will come back. Competion is good for gaming industry because companies need to work harder to keep their players.
Actually it's not a different company as it is another dept in same company. ZoS & BSG (Bethesda Game Studios), who is developing TES VI, are sister companies under the Zenimax Media Corp. banner, who also runs id Software, Arkane Studios, Machine Games and Tango Gameworks.
ZoS also works and communicates constantly with BSG about ESO concerning lore, places, etc.
But as others said, at current production schedule, TES VI won't see daylight till 2025/2026 at earliest.
Plus BSG is all hands on deck for Starfield release.
They're not different departments in the same company, they're different companies in the same group. You even say yourself that they are sister companies.3 -

Doesn't help me - I don't have any use for space games. So it's a really good thing I have the older SP games, and ESO.______________________________________________________

Crimsonwolf666✭✭✭✭I am sorry, others may have emphasized, but...the Elder Scrolls 6, like its predecessor, is a Single Player game....it's not an MMORPG like ESO is. Also, while Bethesda has given ZOS permission for ESO, ZOS IS NOT In Charge of any Elderscrolls games of the single player variety...it's always been Bethesda. They are very separate in most senses, and Elder Scrolls 6 would be after Skyrim which is also Elder Scrolls 5, and therefore WAAAAAYYYY beyond in the timeline from when ESO takes place. ZoS and Bethesda are NOT the same company (as of yet...who knows what will change) so Elder Scrolls 6 will be vastly different from ESO cuz its not only a different company, but a very different timeline.6 -

rootkitronin✭✭✭✭✭I can't wait until ES6 comes out, it's going to be so refreshing to dive back into a mainstream Elder Scrolls game.
ESO is a fun holdover until then, allows me to get my Elder Scrolls fix, but it's so hard to take seriously at times and just doesn't have anywhere near the depth of the mainstream titles - granted, that would probably be impossible given the breadth of ESO, which is definitely one of its best selling points.
Sadly though, as many have said, ES6 is going to be a ways off, I do have very high hopes for Starfield though, and it should give us a bit of a glimpse of what a future Elder Scrolls game might look like (based on their engine overhaul for Starfield).
Until then, the Beyond Skyrim mod teams have been churning out some amazing content as they progress towards their release dates. The Beyond Skyrim: Morrowind - The New North soundtrack is out in full, and the updates and previews look incredible. The amount of work that's gone into this projects is staggering.

You might also take a look into DaggerfallUnity, a kind of port of the original, American-English Daggerfall and its source-code into the Unity engine.
Are these legitimately free versions of Arena and Daggerfall? I don't pirate stuff.

Arena and Daggerfall were officially (i.e., on Bethesda's own website) released for free for their respective 10th anniversaries. Though you had to download DOSBox separately and mount them manually, plus the version of Arena that was released was the inferior (if original) floppy-disk version (hence some of my original comments about Bethesda hating superior releases; when micro$oft acquired Bethesda, for whatever reason, they released the floppy-disk version on the [snip] as well).

Nice to see Bethesda officially supporting DaggerfallUnity; that's at least ONE thing they're doing right, supporting modders.

If they do an ESO II, we'd better be able to transfer our characters and everything we own in ESO I over to it, 'cause I'd be seriously cheesed off if we couldn't after spending so much time, and especially money, on it
If the ESO servers ever get shut down, they need to be able to make what we own downloadable, and playable offline, or off-server I guess.1 -

Well, seeing that all 9 TES games by BSG are single player RPG's, I highly doubt it.
As far as how long they have waited, Todd H. said in a interview, they were waiting on technology to catch up to what they wanted to do. New engine, physics, etc.
Battlespire supposedly had a multiplayer option, but I've never seen anyone playing it that way. I think it would be cool if some Battlespire streamer could set up a multiplayer host server so viewers could log in and play with them.

I actually prefer the diskette version of Arena (v1.06). I haven't played the CD version (v1.07) yet, but I've watched it being streamed many times, since it's the one most people prefer.
Bethesda eventually updated their site with versions that would install everything for you (the game itself plus DOSBox) and that required minimal manual setup after installation (basically just any settings you wanted to tweak because you preferred values other than the defaults). I assume that when Bethesda did away with their launcher and made Arena and Daggerfall available for free on Steam, that Steam is still using the later ("auto-installing") versions, although Steam does still have the diskette version of Arena rather than the CD version.

I'd think that if it was honestly an "ESO II" (not just an engine upgrade of ESO), it'd be starting over from scratch, since it'd be an entirely different game.AgmarTheUnrestful wrote: »[snip]
Hmm, I don't think I've ever actually seen/heard someone say that. Interesting. Regional language differences, maybe?

✭When I first started playing ESO, it was because I needed something new to feed my Elder Scrolls fix and was not ready to leave Tamriel yet. I am still not ready to leave Tamriel yet. Initially, when I started playing ESO, it was with the intention of dropping it like a bad habit the moment Elder Scrolls 6 comes out, but now, I can actually see myself playing both. I don't know how I will find the time for both, but thankfully that is likely a few years out.3 -
LordRukia✭✭✭✭I think it will be a few years at least before ES6. Bethesda has been focusing on other games.0

kaushad✭✭✭✭If anyone wants to play Daggerfall, I also recommend DaggerfallUnity. Aside from the enhancements, it runs more reliably on modern computers. Although I couldn't say if it will be compatible with the quantum computers that we'll presumably need to play TESVI.0 -

I'll play both too. TES for the immersive, transportive, solo experience; ESO for the fun, fast-paced, solo experience

ozm8ey✭✭✭Im gonna get hated for this but I started with elder scrolls oblivion then went to skyrim and didn't like it. To me it felt like a downgrade compared to oblivion in my opinion. eso feels good to be because its an ever updating game with expansions and updates. There is mass amount of people walking around even though most are just solo players and just feels good seeing other people around.1
