In an interview with GQ, Todd Howard reflects upon his decision and how it might have impacted the development ofStarfield. Todd Howard was asked about his thoughts regarding the early announcement of theElder Scrolls 6, and he replied,“I don’t know. I probably would’ve announced it more casually.”
He adds furthermore,“It’s like… I don’t want to answer, but I want to be polite. I will say that we want it to fill that role of the ultimate fantasy-world simulator. And there are different ways to accomplish that given the time that has passed.”
Howard was rather honest with his answers. Even though Starfield took longer than expected to grace the gaming community with its arrival. However, for games likeFallout 5andElder Scrolls 6, players will have to wait at least a decade before they will be able to play this game.
