![]() But what will the name and setting be? There are a number of options - Valenwood, Elsweyr, Akavir, and more - but our prediction is that it will go one of three ways. Many previous The Elder Scrolls games adopt these regions in their very names - Skyrim, Morrowind, and so on - so it's widely assumed that TES6 will follow suit. For one thing, it's almost guaranteed to be set in Tamriel, the fictional continent that's housed every Elder Scrolls game so far, and which is made up of multiple regions, which have changed over the course of its history. So, if this is something Sony would be interested in, it's possible PlayStation fans will have access to future titles from the publisher in the future.Even if it's a while away, though, we can still make some educated guesses about the content of the game, thankfully. Past rumors suggested Microsoft may be interested in adding their service to other platforms like PlayStation in the future. Xbox announced today that a library of Bethesda Icons will be joining the service soon, only adding to the huge line-up. This also heavily reaffirms the company's commitment to the Game Pass subscription service that allows a whole library of titles to be accessed for a monthly fee. Taking highly-anticipated titles like these as exclusives is a move that will benefit them greatly in the long-run. The acquisition is certainly a necessary one for Xbox as its Series X/S console sales lagged heavily behind the PS5. Several titles confirmed to be in development at Bethesda include The Elder Scrolls VI, an Indiana Jones game, and sci-fi adventure Starfield, all of which are now unlikely to release on PS5. With both Xbox and PlayStation having just dropped next-gen consoles a few months ago, many fans have already purchased a new PlayStation console and are now likely to be excluded from future Bethesda titles. It's unfortunate timing for this announcement for gamers across the board. And the creative capability we will be able to bring to market for Xbox customers is going to be the best it's ever been for Xbox after we are done here.” THE FUTURE OF BETHESDA IS ON XBOX And that's our goal, that's why we are doing this, that's the root of this partnership that we are building. “But: if you're an Xbox customer, the thing I want you to know is that this is about delivering great exclusive games for you that ship on platforms where Game Pass exists. However, it sounds like the company will be primarily focusing on producing Xbox exclusive titles from the studios under Bethesda as they plan to “ship on platforms where Game Pass exists,” those being Xbox consoles and PC: And even in the future, there might be things that have either contractual things or legacy on different platforms that we'll do.” We have games that exist on other platforms, and we are going to support those games on the platforms they are on. There are contractual obligations that we gonna see-through, we always do in every one of these instances. “So obviously I can't sit here and say 'every Bethesda game is exclusive' because we know that's not true. He also didn't necessarily rule out future titles releasing on other platforms, saying titles that have “contractual things or legacy on different platform,” may still be shared outside the Xbox ecosystem: In comments transcribed on Twitter by Nibel, Spencer shared his dedication to “see-through” existing obligations for Bethesda titles such as Deathloop, which is set to release as a PS5 exclusive later this year. Most have assumed future titles from the publisher will become exclusive to the platform, however, the company already has existing commitments to other platforms such as Deathloop, which will release in 2021 as a PS5 exclusive.Īs the sale of the gaming giant becomes official, a live-stream has been held discussing the future of Bethesda, with Xbox head Phil Spencer discussing plans for future games from the company. Ever since Xbox announced its plans to acquire The Elder Scrolls and Fallout publisher Bethesda, it's been unclear exactly what that will mean for the future of its games.
