"Classic Style" Bethesda, but on Creation Engine 3 — Todd Howard on The Elder Scrolls 6
Todd Howard appeared on the Kinda Funny podcast, and the conversation inevitably turned to the action-RPG The Elder Scrolls VI. The head of Bethesda once again lamented the early announcement in an attempt to stop the constant questions about the new installment. The game designer, director, and producer promised that TES VI will not be like Starfield or Fallout 76 — the studio is 'returning to that classic style it has missed, which it knows very well.'
Howard also touched on the technical aspect: the Creation Engine 2 used in Starfield turned out to be insufficient, so Bethesda has upgraded it to Creation Engine 3 for the sixth 'Scrolls'.
