Elder Scrolls 6 Has "So Much Pressure" On It, Former Bethesda Dev Says

"it had been so long already since Skyrim"

"just pissed at us,"

"I think there is less economic pressure to just get Elder Scrolls 6 out on a date, but there is more economic pressure to actually make sure it's good, and I think that's a good thing,"

"That's healthy so long as they're also honest with the team about that."

Bethesda announced The Elder Scrolls 6 in 2018 to reassure fans after the long gap since Skyrim. Early announcement required costly marketing such as trailers and can function as a recruiting tool for development talent. The early reveal increased public hype, creating pressure that may lengthen development to prioritize quality over meeting a fixed release date. Economic pressure to ship quickly is reduced while pressure to deliver a strong product is higher. Bethesda is likely to pursue its own design path independently of other high-profile releases, with interest in a more constrained setting for the next installment.
