The Elder Scrolls 6 could be Todd Howard’s last game. The developer is not getting any younger

The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced quite a long time ago, with the teaser already marking its fifth anniversary. Starfield has not been released yet, and the new TES is still far away

Todd Howard isn’t getting any younger. The developer is already 52 years old, and the development of The Elder Scrolls 6 could take quite a long time.

Todd Howard said:

“Whereas in the old days you would put it out and then you’d go on to a sequel, now we can support that game for a much longer period of time, which is what our plan is.

And then as we look to an Elder Scrolls 6, that is one where... I probably shouldn’t say this. But if I do the math, I’m not getting any younger. How long do people play Elder Scrolls? That may be the last one I do. I don’t know.”

In recent years, Bethesda has grown, but the studio’s expansion won’t necessarily speed up development. Todd clarified: “I want to [make games] faster, but speed — is not our goal.”

After The Elder Scrolls 6, there are plans to make a new Fallout. The game might already be developed without Todd Howard.
