  Look, I love the Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Have since I first booted up my Xbox to play Morrowind in 2002. But you guys needed a kick in the ***. I hate that all those employees got fired, but taking 20 years to release a game, and then another decade of no DLC or content for said game, and relying only on modders to fill in what you left out, is the most laziest and snobbiest **** you could have ever run for a company. And not telling people about games or projects coming up, being so tight lipped and superior, and holier than thou art. On a gaming engine that is already 40 years old and barely works at launch, and takes a year to fix the game. Bethesda needed a kick in the ***. And it was long overdue.

  @fentanylbrownie "ubiquitous" in elder scrolls games but never really seen it be such a problem anywhere else. Elder scrolls melee combat is remarkably unfun that bypassing it with sneak is the default way to enjoy the game.

  This is Gears, this will be Fabel if the next one isn't well received, this is Dragon Age, this will be Fallout and Elder Scrolls if Bethesda don't fix up.

  @Opethftw @pcgamer Got you talking about it 9 years later. The dev team of 76 is a studio that works specifically on live service games. It’s not people in bgs that could be working on the next elder scrolls or fallout.

  @shapeformer You and others are conflating two different things. Xbox using exclusives again and Xbox rebuilding its business around the traditional exclusivity driven console model. Look at Xbox's actual economics. Microsoft's FY26 results have shown gaming revenue declining, hardware revenue falling by more than 30% year over year in consecutive reported quarters, and content and services declining as well. That's not a signal demonstrating that consumers want Xbox hardware at scale. And that decline started while they had exclusives. So if Microsoft has concluded that exclusives are the answer and is truly "going back to basics," why hasn't it actually committed its biggest franchises to that strategy? Right now they've only committed Gears: E-Day in 2026 and Clockwork Revolution in 2027. They've said more exclusives are planned, but they haven't announced this pipeline you're assuming exists. Matt Booty has actually described the approach as case-by-case. And here is where your Elder Scrolls and Halo argument loses traction. You're saying the next Halo and TES VI will be exclusive. Based on what??? A hunch?? Because Xbox hasn't announced either one as an Xbox console exclusive. Asha Sharma literally just talked about seeing a live playthrough of TES VI and praised its scale and story. That was a perfect opportunity to say, "And this will be a defining exclusive for Xbox." She didn't. If TES VI exclusivity is already part of this supposedly obvious return to basics, why hasn't Xbox said so? Why are you and others making a commitment on Xbox's behalf that Xbox itself hasn't made? The same applies to Halo. Until Microsoft announces the next Halo as console-exclusive, you're using your prediction of Microsoft's future strategy as evidence that the strategy already exists. That's called circular reasoning and it holds zero weight. And there's an economic reason for Xbox to remain flexible. Xbox hardware is declining substantially. Microsoft owns enormous IP with potential customers on PlayStation, Nintendo and PC. Making a game like TES VI exclusive means voluntarily giving up access to part of that addressable market in the hope that enough people migrate into the Xbox ecosystem at scale to compensate for it. That's a business calculation, not an automatic win simply because "exclusives sell consoles". Today the evidence shows a hybrid strategy. Two exclusives to give Xbox hardware differentiation, case-by-case decisions on single-player games, continued multiplatform releases, and multiplayer/live-service games remaining multiplatform. And your claim that most Xbox ports don't make their porting costs back still needs a source. That's a financial claim. Show Microsoft's costs and revenues for those ports. Otherwise you're treating another assumption as fact. Ultimately you're just arguing what you believe Xbox's strategy will become, "back to basics". Where I'm talking about what they're actually committed to doing and what they've communicated to investors.

  Soup (@The_Soupinator) reported 16 minutes ago

  @WinC_Gaming Yeah that's the big problem. Exclusives mean nothing unless they have must-have games (released regularly) to back that plan up. Halo hasn't been that for a LONG time and they're going to need more than just Elder Scrolls 6 which is still years off.

  @DanticsOfficial Could they fix it? Sure, but would people rather them work on the next Elder Scrolls or Fallout instead? I’m sure it’s possible to make a good Skyrim in space, but would they rather use Starfield as a platform to sell paid mods? Seems that way to me.

  @Pirat_Nation Why a company that is obsessed with cramming live service crap into everything hasn't thought to use the DA world building to make it a MMORPG, and milk it like Microsoft has done with Elder Scrolls Online, is a mystery.

• 
  TheFox0228 (@TheFox0228) reported 23 minutes ago

  If it's not a big deal, why patch an 11 or 15 year old game? The truth of the matter, this is likely to become a huge issue where Bethesda is going to try and milk money from mods. I have very little hope left for Elder Scrolls VI, at this point. Bethesda has fallen.

  @nichegamer Looking forward to it, but i'm afraid the games i'm mostly hoping for are not coming. Elder Scrolls Oblivion for example has a PC version, but no Controller support. Would be great to get the 360 version instead. Has lots of issues via Xenia 3rd party, Xbox could fix that.

  Wesley ✨ (@wesleytypes) reported 28 minutes ago

  I love Creation Engine. Proprietary engines play a significant role in forming a game's identity and I would never wish that away. Bethesda is who they are in large part because of this engine. That said, to spend countless years and millions of dollars on a new game and NOT strive to break new ground or do something you haven't before feels like a waste. The Creation Engine hasn't shown a meaningful capacity to grow and change with modern gaming expectation and that's a problem. I still want Bethesda games to feel like Bethesda games, but if Creation Engine 3 doesn't massively impress and prove that it can deliver a truly modern gaming experience, it will be imperative that Bethesda make changes that I don't think they're willing to make. At this point, promising the future of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout on Creation Engine feels like a giant gamble.

  @TESOnline Yall should really fix Cyrodill and Imperial City! There are some nerfs that are much needed, like the stamina/magica drain, make it fair again please! Can’t break free, roll dodge, or block… just stuck eating it… got the best gear build, it’s just the getting stuck thing.

  @_bryanisreal @fuckusernamejor @daviruz Remind me. Didn’t Elder Scrolls 5 have micro transactions that started the whole mess we are in currently? I don’t see the issue in grinding levels. They were trying something new? It’s a good game On its own

  @BethesdaStudios Well that's a bunch of word salad PR BS. It'll be almost 20 years since a proper Elder Scrolls, and nearly as much before the next Fallout. Microsoft should shut you down and give these franchises to a company that actually cares. You all left Fallout 4 broken for over a year.

  @FussyPastor Prompt was iterated on: Build an explorable 3D RPG world in Three.js based on the attached image. It has to feel like Elder Scrolls daggerfall in feel, FPS RPG, with collision detection, no clipping or defects on geometry, AAA visuals with HDR lighting and shadow shaders, target 60fps, split all the work into sub agents like terrain, props/geometry, materials/textures, lighting, physics, controls/camera, performance. Assign one sub-agent per stream. Each sub-agent owns its stream end to end and reports what it built plus what is still weak. Integrate, then run a review pass: walk the world, list every visible defect, fix them. Repeat till you get it perfect

  If their work was as good as they claimed it to be, they'd have no issues finding jobs at other game companies. Also, in actually interesting news, Elder Scrolls 6 is in a "playable" state just based on this headline.

  @denkatabro @AION2Official I really don't understand how people can say that live service is a dead end, it's still very much alive. I love single player games, played some like the Witcher games, Fallout series, Elder Scrolls, Deus Ex, Arx Fatalis etc but saying that live service is dead is very asinine

  Wesley ✨ (@wesleytypes) reported 51 minutes ago

  Yes, as a totally starved Elder Scrolls lore fanatic, I will definitely over-analyze this. A few observations: - The province for The Elder Scrolls VI has long been rumored to be Hammerfell, to the point where it's almost certain. The number of asterisks she used could be random, but if they're not, they don't fit "Hammerfell". Skyrim and Morrowind are the only Elder Scrolls games that are actually named after the province they take place in, so this isn't an issue. It will probably have a unique subtitle. - By saying the story is greater than the already incredible scale and grandeur of the game, is she saying the story is better than the exploration and questing? Certainly not. This is actually a weird thing to say about the Elder Scrolls, a franchise from a studio that is typically known for weak main quest writing, which we all forgive because the exploration and side quests are the real star. We all understand that, but her vague praise seems to contradict. - Asha saying something public about this game is surely part of her plan to crack the doors open at Bethesda. I wouldn't be surprised if we finally see something substantial about the game this year. What she saw could even be a work in progress demo slice for a future show. Can't believe we're doing this still, but a fans gotta eat.

  @AlexMindTricks @nuhre_ It’s a generational game ppl have been waiting to play for 10+ years with ridiculous hype. It’s going to make like a billion dollars bro. That doesn’t mean the industry can pretend they have GTA 6, not even Bethesda could sell Elder scrolls 6 for that much. It’s capitalism bro, supply and demand, GTA 6 is gonna be a live service game that is extremely popular for the next 2 decades. That doesn’t mean game devs are gonna start selling the new call of duty for $100, almost nobody would buy that **** for $100, but millions of people would buy GTA 6 for $500, let alone $100. It’s a product which is highly desired and therefore worth a **** ton, that’s capitalism, otherwise they’d sell it for less

  “The roadmap is unaffected” lands a little differently when 3,200 people just disappeared from the larger machine around it. Maybe Elder Scrolls 6 really is still on track. Maybe Oblivion Remastered still makes its Switch 2 window. But players have heard this line enough times to know what it usually means: the plan on paper survived. Whether the capacity survived is a different question. That’s the trust problem with studio reassurance after layoffs. Not that every statement is a lie. That a roadmap is only as real as the team, time, and priorities still standing behind it. A game doesn’t get delayed because the PR wording was off. It gets delayed because fewer people are left to do the work. “Roadmap intact” is nice. Show us the shipped game.
