A post by user Therealomerali about the dying hype has garnered over 7.1 thousand “likes”. Similar thoughts have already been voiced by many, including popular modders who abandoned Starfield after being disappointed. Some claim they do not hold much hope for the release of The Elder Scrolls 6 after 2023.
Fans are also frustrated that Bethesda Game Studios continues to rely on an outdated engine and visuals, while modern studios are transitioning to cutting-edge technologies like Unreal Engine 5. Certain fans note the game's lack of soul and an awful attitude from the developers toward their craft.
However, not everyone has lost optimism regarding The Elder Scrolls 6. The game will not be released for at least another three years, and during this time, the developer can address the issues with Starfield. Fans believe that the hype will return as soon as the game gets a full gameplay trailer and the marketing campaign kicks off.
Phil Spencer believes that The Elder Scrolls 6 will not arrive before 2028. At the moment, the game is in a very early stage of development, and Bethesda is supporting Starfield with post-launch updates.
