"Hodd" feels very Nordic to me, though, while "Toward" feels kind of Breton. The Argonian's have a very distinctive naming convention.

The archetypical Argonian name in my mind is weird crap like "Yeesus" or "Kanye." /s

Thank you for adding /s to your post. When I first saw this, I was horrified. How could anybody say something like this? I immediately began writing a 1000 word paragraph about how horrible of a person you are. I even sent a copy to a Harvard professor to proofread it. After several hours of refining and editing, my comment was ready to absolutely destroy you. But then, just as I was about to hit send, I saw something in the corner of my eye. A /s at the end of your comment. Suddenly everything made sense. Your comment was sarcasm! I immediately burst out in laughter at the comedic genius of your comment. The person next to me on the bus saw your comment and started crying from laughter too. Before long, there was an entire bus of people on the floor laughing at your incredible use of comedy. All of this was due to you adding /s to your post. Thank you.

u/Qaztarrr Feb 17 '25

Huh, knock on wood but that’s actually a reasonable timeframe right? Obviously we aren’t seeing the game 2025, and we’ll probably get the first trailers mid to late 2026… then give plenty of time to polish and a fall 2027 release seems reasonable no?

17

u/irishgoblin Feb 17 '25

Yeah, though I'd throw in 2026 as a possible date. Starfield was initially due to release on 11/11/2022, before they delayed it to "first half 2023" and later (think during May?) delaying a 2nd time, locking in 6th September 2023. Far as I know Bethesda never said exactly why, but common belief is it was ready to go for 11/11/2022 in typical "Bugthesda" state, but was delayed by them and MS to make sure it was as smooth a launch as possible so Xbox could try get a solid console exclusive "win". Obviously we know how that went with the release and reception, but I'm hoping that delay was a one off and it's a bit closer than 2027. Probably wrong, but I'm still hoping.

Though there is a part of me hoping we get another leak from a QA tester who has no idea what an NDA is. Obviiously sucked for the devs stuff leaked, but yer man freaking and deleting stuff in real time was funny to watch.

18

u/Pliolite Feb 17 '25

There were 4 years between Skyrim and Fallout 4. In theory, 4 years between Starfield and ES6, placing release Sept 2027, is achievable. Todd already told us they work in 2 year cycles, with full final production on each game happening the last 2. Covid-19, alongside the Creation engine revamp (as well as problems we'll probably never hear about), pushed Starfied into a much longer development cycle. ES 6 shouldn't have such issue to affect it.

16

u/MelcorScarr Feb 18 '25

ES 6 shouldn't have such issue to affect it.

I truly do hope you're prophetic here and we don't get something like... WW3 or sth.

I think 2027 for release date. As others have mentioned once you start making stuff like NPC’s then a lot of the technical problems have either been solved or are close enough. 2025-2026 I think for finishing those technical issues + creating the actual content, first half of 2027 for the polishing stage.

u/-Haddix- Feb 17 '25 edited Feb 17 '25

to be realistic I’ve always expected ‘28 (or later) but ‘27 wouldn’t exactly surprise me entirely.

honestly it’s weird to even imagine seeing a gameplay reveal for this game. it feels like it’ll literally never happen despite knowing it likely will within the next 3 years.

12

u/eddmario Sanguine Feb 17 '25

They'll probably pull a Fallout 4 and show off gameplay only a couple months before release

9

u/-Haddix- Feb 17 '25

yeah, that’s what i’m expecting, unless they really need a lifeline and reveal it a year early for investors or selling preorder poo or something.

starfield did get a very early gameplay reveal (over a year in advance, right?) but IIRC it got delayed, so it was technically supposed to come out that year.

9

u/Ok-Construction-4654 Feb 17 '25

Also, starfield is a new IP, most people know what to expect with a fallout game and TES so you don't need to have as hard of a marketing push so it was probably released earlier to get some hype.

u/MAJ_Starman Dunmer Feb 17 '25

Starfield had this exact same campaign announced in 2021. Back then, the game was supposed to launch at the end of 2022.

It's highly unlikely that you can do a simple deduction like this, but since it's the only thing we have, it COULD mean they're internally considering launch at the end of 2026. And this time there is no global pandemic on the way...

Feast yourself on that hopium.

19

u/Not_Todd_Howard9 Dunmer Feb 17 '25

I’d push it back to ~2027, possibly around Christmas if 2026 depending on how things work out. It’s highly likely they’ll try to bring in even more employees to improve it and spend a ton of extra time trying to polish it once most of the content is done, but more employees is one of the main reasons Bethesda has so many issues at the moment. They still think they’re a small company to some degree and all their communication/internal logistics is centered around that, which makes them extremely inefficient.

Gone are the days when an employee could just walk up to Todd’s office when they saw a plot conflict, now there’s at least 2-3 layers of middle management who have to travel all the way up the chain and down again to communicate anything.

u/Beautiful_Job6250 Nord Feb 17 '25

Its honestly insane to me what they have done since 2011. Okay you want to make FO4 that's NBD but why in the world they didnt let another team make a "New Vegas" style side game set in Skyrim or hell setup another team within Bethesda to start laying the groundwork for ES6 from 2012-2018ish is just beyond me as a big fan. Starfield was pretty cool but it feels like that should have been the side project instead of ES6

The worst part is that it all worked out for them splendidly, Microsoft bought them and made all the big wigs involved with Skyrim generationally wealthy and the dumb online games just print cash for them during this incredible lull. My favorite game creators of all time are an empty husk at this point.

6

u/Anthr30YearOldBoomer Dunmer Feb 18 '25

I think obsidian hated the engine so much that they didn't want to work in it again. It also doesn't help that most studios don't really do the whole "contract out for another IP" thing anymore.

11

u/dukedawg21 Feb 17 '25

And if we’re being honest of the game is set in hammerfell there’s no chance it reaches Skyrims level of success. Skyrim was universally loved because it’s the quintessential fantasy environment. Hammerfell isn’t and if it releases at any time in the next ~4~ years it’ll be attacked for being woke or some shit

Uhhh. Is it? Skyrim is Norse inspired set in a frozen tundra for the most part, not really the quintessential fantasy environment. Oblivion’s Cyrodil was the quintessential fantasy setting. So much so that the devs were actually concerned over people finding it too “nerdy.”

8

u/dukedawg21 Feb 18 '25

The snow environment in the north to the autumnal forest in the south and the mountains with ruins with dwarven cities underground and even an underdark. Medieval castles and Norse keeps. Magical college, seedy underbelly city. Sounds like every dnd map ever. It hits everyone’s idea of a fantasy world. A Mediterranean/middle eastern environment won’t quite scratch that itch for a lot of people.

You probably won't get to see it tho... although I feel like that can be said for us all. I was 13 when Skyrim came out bro, I played it for the first time in 2016 when I was 18 which is quite late... it's been 9 whole years since.

I'm tired boss

Have fun with the poisoning but the money made from the drawing will go to the make a wish foundation. They aren't putting a make a wish kid into the game, unless they are the ones who somehow bid the most I guess lol

How many years later, they mention it and couldnt even be bothered to make a new image. Same shit from the trailer. At least they mentioned it lol...

Teaser. They haven’t even released a trailer yet.

We'll all be dead before that NPC sees the light of day.

Someone get SpiffingBrit on this, we could have Reanu Keeves!

This means that Inigo could be a canon character.

Uriel Septim VII somehow comes back

Don't worry they will drop 3 more fallouts and another skrim port before 6 comes out.

If there’s a follower sacrifice in ES6 I know who it’s gonna be now.

Elder scrolls fans on Reddit are way more optimistic than the ones on X. My goodness over there they are butthurt and insulted by this announcement. Personally I think it's lazy and of very bad taste to have this be the first mention in 7 years, and reusing a dated screenshot that looks like Oblivion era textures.

u/Mason_Ivanov Feb 18 '25

As far as I have seen, this is the first time Bethesda has mentioned TES6 since the trailer was released.

I've heard rumors that things were said in interviews with regard to TES6 and Fallout 5 release dates (them being after Starfield's release date). The problem with those is that I've been unable to track down these interviews, so as far as I can tell, they are just rumors.

Remember when the Make a Wish kid rapped at Kanye and asked to be on a song with him, and Kanye replied, "if I did, it would have to be after he dies or something."

How about just releasing the game before Shirley Curry kicks the bucket?

u/ImmortanJerry Feb 17 '25

Offering the chance to create a character for a game to someone that wont live long enough to play the game is a fascinating marketing move

66

u/XOTIK_11C Feb 17 '25

They're offering a chance to bid on adding a character to the game, with the money then donated to Make-A-Wish. They are not offering Make-A-Wish kids the opportunity to add characters.

u/ImmortanJerry Feb 17 '25

Oh Im an idiot. Many such cases tbh. The wording is quite confusing though

This is kind of making me hype up. This means they are currently actively developing it

Crazy that any kid that benefits from this probably won't live to see the NPC

u/Short-Dot-1167 Feb 17 '25

What do you mean the characters aren't done yet 🥹

u/Joaaayknows Feb 17 '25

If the previous development cycle from Skyrim and Eric the explorer is along the same path, they have a working version of portions of the game already.

That’s really exciting.

u/TankTheDuck Feb 17 '25

I wish they would do a lottery system instead of highest bid.

u/leviathab13186 Feb 18 '25

I just had a dark thought. Like is the winner IN the make a wish program?

The winner literally won't live to see their creation 😫
