Todd Howard speaks about the announcement of The Elder Scrolls 6 and suggests that he regrets the way it was announced today.
The Elder Scrolls 6 is set to be the next big fantasy RPG from Bethesda, and the developer made that clear 5 years ago when it announced the latest installment of the popular game series together with Starfield at E3 2018.
Now the release of Starfield is just around the corner and we still haven’t seen any new information about The Elder Scrolls 6 – and a release is still far off.
Now Todd Howard, the head of Starfield, Fallout, and The Elder Scrolls, expresses concerns about whether the way of the announcement was the best decision.
What does Howard say? In an interview with the British online magazine “GC”, Todd Howard was asked if he regretted announcing The Elder Scrolls 6 at E3 2018.
Howard replied that he probably would have made the announcement a bit smaller:
I have often asked myself that. I don’t know. I probably would have announced it more casually.

As Starfield’s “Lead Designer” Emil Pagliarulo revealed on Twitter in July, Howard is also the only person at Bethesda allowed to speak about new information regarding Starfield:
