The Elder Scrolls 6 Isn't Going to Be Like Starfield Says Todd Howard, and Will Instead Be in the Studio's 'Classic Style'
Todd Howard said Bethesda is returning to its classic RPG style with Creation Engine 3 after viewing Starfield and Fallout 76 as creative detours, nearing a major development milestone.
- On February 18, Todd Howard, Bethesda creative director, said The Elder Scrolls 6 will return to Bethesda's classic style in a Kinda Funny Games livestream.

- Announced over six years ago, The Elder Scrolls 6 has faced an unusually long wait, but Howard argued this delay is necessary for the game to be great.
