If you’re waiting for news of The Elder Scrolls 6 arm yourself with patience, Bethesda’s RPG has barely advanced
Todd Howard talks about the technology behind Starfield and the birth of the new Indiana Jones game.
After much secrecy, we are finally learning about Bethesda’s plans with their future releases after becoming part of the Xbox Game Studios family. Todd Howard , executive producer of Bethesda and director of Starfield , has spoken as much about the next sci-fi game from the publisher, as well as other long-awaited games from the firm, such as The Elder Scrolls VI or the new Indiana Jones in an interview with The Telegraph .
First, and focusing on more technical aspects, Howard says that both Starfield and TES VI are being developed with the Creation Engine 2 graphics engine , but this system will probably receive new additions and elements depending on the requirements and the evolution of the sector when I arrived. Regarding The Elder Scrolls VI, the manager assures that it is still “in the design phase” , assuring that they will have to review part of the technology. So we will have to be patient. Remember that the game was announced in 2019 through a short teaser in which you could hardly see anything.
The idea of Indiana Jones has been on Howard’s mind for more than 10 yearsA pleasant surprise was when Bethesda’s new Indiana Jones game, developed by MachineGames, creators of the latest Wolfenstein games, was announced . It was an idea that had been in Todd Howard’s mind for several years. “I think I originally pitched the idea to [George] Lucas in 2009 and I’ve been trying to find a way to do it ever since . And I believe in the work that Machine Games have done, they are phenomenal developers and storytellers. When I started talking with them about it, it fit in well, and we had a chance to talk to Lucas and Disney about it and they were super excited.
In addition, he also confesses: “I really like Indiana Jones, but I never thought that I would have the opportunity to make a game. You will hear that more in the future. But the Machine Games team is the best team in the world to carry out this game and they’re doing a phenomenal job. ” Although it is another project that we will have to wait to find out more, since he did not make an appearance at the Xbox and Bethesda conference at E3 2021 .
