Most of the developers from Bethesda are working on The Elder Scrolls 6. Everything is going «very well», while the studio will not rush the release. Representatives of the company told the publication Game Informer about this.

Bethesda executive producer Todd Howard shared that the studio is simultaneously working on several projects. However, this does not interfere with the development of The Elder Scrolls 6.

«It’s progressing really well. The majority of the studio’s on VI, but I’ll say this: We always overlap. So, we’re very used to overlapping development. And we have long pre-productions on things so that we feel good about them».

Design Director Emil Pagliarulo emphasized that in order for the game to be worthy, it needs to be given a lot of time.

«Games take a long time, and games get pushed all the time; GTA just got pushed again, which was the smartest thing they could do, because a game the size of these games, they take not just a long time to make, but a long time to spit and polish and iron out the bugs».

Pagliarulo compared The Elder Scrolls 6 to a turkey that needs to be baked in the oven for a long time to become delicious.

«So, we’re going to take our time and as long as it needs to be to be great».
— Emile Pagliarulo
