I get that modern games are time consuming to make, but we’re getting well past the Duke Nukem Forever and Daikatana timelines here… and the longer it takes the more disappointing it always seems to be.
They're making other games. They haven't been working on elder scrolls. They can't do more than one game at a time.
See this is actually the crazy part to me. Not making more than one game at a time. Why didn't they just give these IPs to another team, or have some employees switch gears onto this project, or anything else they could have done to get some parallelism going on here.
I mean - they’ve had teams working on Fallout, ESO, and Starfield simultaneously. What work was probably going to be dedicated to ES6 probably got transitioned to ESO or Starfield. They’ve definitely had multiple teams focused on multiple things - ES6 just got deprioritized.
ESO is developed by Zenimax, Bethesda is only the publisher.
