  @SynthPotato Not necessarily; they could break the system down and redo it to make loading screens less of an issue, but the question is, does Todd have that type of will in him? Elder Scrolls 6 is Todd’s make it or break it moment, if he can’t deliver a masterpiece he’s going to be retired.

  “No, the roadmap is unaffected.” That’s Bethesda’s entire response when asked whether The Elder Scrolls VI would be delayed by Xbox’s layoffs, four words delivered to a YouTuber after Microsoft cut 1,600 jobs immediately and marked another 1,600 for elimination over the next year. Here’s the sentence that complicates it. The Elder Scrolls Online, made by ZeniMax Online Studios, a sister team under the same publisher, lost over 200 employees in the same round of cuts. Their own public statement wasn’t reassurance. It was an admission: “roadmaps we previously shared will be shifting.” Same company, same week, same wave of layoffs, and the two teams gave opposite answers to the same question. That’s not necessarily a contradiction. The Elder Scrolls VI’s team may genuinely have been protected while a live-service team absorbing over a hundred lost staff clearly wasn’t. But it does mean “the roadmap is unaffected” isn’t a statement about Xbox’s restructuring. It’s a statement about one specific team’s staffing, issued at a moment when a studio one floor over was saying the opposite about theirs. Current and former staff have reportedly told IGN they expect delays, crunch, and heavier reliance on contractors unfamiliar with Bethesda’s internal tools regardless of what the official line says. Bethesda’s statement answers the question it was asked. It doesn’t answer the one everyone’s actually worried about.

  If their work was as good as they claimed it to be, they'd have no issues finding jobs at other game companies. Also, in actually interesting news, Elder Scrolls 6 is in a "playable" state just based on this headline.

  @TESOnline Yall should really fix Cyrodill and Imperial City! There are some nerfs that are much needed, like the stamina/magica drain, make it fair again please! Can’t break free, roll dodge, or block… just stuck eating it… got the best gear build, it’s just the getting stuck thing.

  @thegreatestzani You do realise saying something doesn't make it true? No other game company/game could do this type of marketing other than elder scrolls or elden ring 2 etc. You are just making up an issue that was never a problem before and still isn't because a new twitter opinion dropped

  After years of delivering nothing on Fallout and Elder Scrolls (Dear Todd, ESO and Fallout 76 are live service games, for an entirely different fanbase) Microsoft finally pulled the rug on Bethesda and gave their IP to Obsidian again to remake Fallout New Vegas

  @AlexMindTricks @nuhre_ It’s a generational game ppl have been waiting to play for 10+ years with ridiculous hype. It’s going to make like a billion dollars bro. That doesn’t mean the industry can pretend they have GTA 6, not even Bethesda could sell Elder scrolls 6 for that much. It’s capitalism bro, supply and demand, GTA 6 is gonna be a live service game that is extremely popular for the next 2 decades. That doesn’t mean game devs are gonna start selling the new call of duty for $100, almost nobody would buy that **** for $100, but millions of people would buy GTA 6 for $500, let alone $100. It’s a product which is highly desired and therefore worth a **** ton, that’s capitalism, otherwise they’d sell it for less

  @Hybrid508 @RinoTheBouncer Nah **** that. I Grew up playing Spider-Man games on other platforms. Didn't stop Sony from worming their way to Spider-Man exclusivity by leveraging the MCU rights. -Spyro -Crash Bandicoot -Fallout -Elder Scrolls -Banjo-Kazooie Should all go exclusive. Sony set the precedent

  @JamieMoranUK They do cost more you're absolutely right but there are some successful live service games out there Just look at Bethesda and how long they've done Fallout 76 An elder scrolls Online those games have a ton of players Sea of Thieves did at one point I'm not sure what it is now

  Samurai0 (@SAMURAISAM0) reported 34 minutes ago

  @KingFanMan He's just trying to do fan service after completely fking up the entire industry. Seriously 76 was nothing but a cash grab. The formula for fallout and elder scrolls games is fking easy, and you have entire genres to pull from for the writing. A chimp could have done his job.

  “The roadmap is unaffected” lands a little differently when 3,200 people just disappeared from the larger machine around it. Maybe Elder Scrolls 6 really is still on track. Maybe Oblivion Remastered still makes its Switch 2 window. But players have heard this line enough times to know what it usually means: the plan on paper survived. Whether the capacity survived is a different question. That’s the trust problem with studio reassurance after layoffs. Not that every statement is a lie. That a roadmap is only as real as the team, time, and priorities still standing behind it. A game doesn’t get delayed because the PR wording was off. It gets delayed because fewer people are left to do the work. “Roadmap intact” is nice. Show us the shipped game.

  The Elder Scrolls VI is going to be... big!? Wow! Whoa! I could not care less. Bethesda's obsession with scale over focus has been a problem since Oblivion, and it's only gotten substantially worse over time. "The game world is the size of a real country!" I don't care.

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Hi can you fix daily for Battlereeve Urcelmo and Lady Arabelle Davaux? Holgunn is ok. Both 2 are missing blue arrow on their boards - Ps5 eu. I checked emails i done all 3 yesterday but those 2 can't take today because of missing blue arrow.

  @Nick101Gaming Because Xbox can not sustain a game that size in scope why can’t you understand that Xbox has less then 30 million gamers all on gamepass a rental service that does not support buying and supporting the studios that make them the elder scrolls will come to ps5 no Xbox needed!!

  @NobodyIsOurGuy I want an Elder Scrolls movie but my big problem would be with who would they cast for the Dragonborn and who's side would the Dragonborn be on in the civil war storyline? Also how would they be able to cover all the factions and dragon lore in a movie?

  @JohnH0730 @dennistopia @thiccdotexe Ah the old appeal to majority comment. Millions of people believe fairies are real. See what Im getting at? The elder scrolls games have become quite shallow with every version that is a problem.

  @werty2346 @vicious696 They spent a good couple years making starfield, upgrading the engine, then once that finished went onto elder scrolls while still making starfield DLC and content updates. Doing all this while maintaining a multiplayer live service, developing a newer version of their engine

  @LevelsUnlucky @ZorroRideThrice Real fans care about consistency and quality in comic, without quality they are not entertaining to read, and without consistency, you don't know what you read this week actually is going to be a thing next week. The major comic companies have lacked both of these things for more than 10 years, but especially the last 10 years. If Nintendo came out and said Mario's goal in the game, this has never been to save peach, It was to protect the environment of the mushroom Kingdom from the damage. Bowser is inflicting to it, everyone would laugh that off as stupid and fake. An actual example in the elder scrolls there is a set number of daedric princes, and this number was set so hard in the lore that it's tied to the fundamental structure of the universe, in elder scrolls online they decided to add another one, So you either have to accept this one this one daedric Prince added to the lore, not even from the main team and disregard the decades of lore that came before it, or you disregard the existence of that daedric prince. The big comic companies have been breaking their own universe for decades, and then building upon its broken corpse just breaking it more, that anyone who actually cares about comic books, actually cares about having consistency in their world of their characters. Has to ignore 90% of what they've put out over the last again 10ish years.

  @LaresIsaac14 @eXtas1stv I had forgotten about Call of Duty. It's such a massive release that Game Pass doesn't make up for the lost sales. If they really do end day-one releases, The Elder Scrolls VI will probably be the second franchise to arrive on the service a year later.

  @WrightRight4 @JMako67 @VALC_6 Heck there is even code in Source from the original Quake Engine. It is more a developer thing to improve things. One aspect I hope they fix is faces in the new Elder Scrolls, properly animated with better eyes and such. All that is possible if they want to.

  Even this somehow makes The Elder Scrolls seem like a bit of an afterthought - it is their current project and yet it is the last thing mentioned. I just don’t get the disconnect between how successful the franchise is and how it’s treated by the company.
