Lol Starfield 2021
I guess they're behind schedule then
Probably COVID, so I'd add 2 years to each of these dates for possible releases if a project hasn't been cancelled.
I'd love an Oblivion remaster next year. Although I have a sneaking suspicion the Skyblivion project might end up being the more polished experience.
I think it's part Covid but also part that they just underestimated how much time they needed. Clearly it still could have baked a little longer. It feels like it was only fully playable at the very end because so much QoL stuff needs to be added, in my opinion. I think it would have been smart to at least have the mod tools ready at launch, or at least weeks later. It looks like it's going to be months for those though.
It also says FY which I assume means Fiscal Year. It seems like Microsoft's fiscal years end in June and start in July based on browsing a few investor pages (like this one saying fourth quarter ended in June). Not that that completely solves for the time difference but wanted to mention it
It's official. The release of the next Elder Scrolls will be any time from now to 2028.
If we're lucky.
We knew that already, Phil's been pretty open about it.
Well we all knew that much at least. It was originally announced to be released in 2022 but they pushed it back almost a full year to 2023. Guessing when development slowed due to salvage work needed for Fallout 76 and then likely a mandate from Microsoft to polish it more before release.
So considering that starfield got pushed 2 years it’s safe to assume Elder scrolls 6 got pushed at least that as well so 2026/7 for that, a full 15 years after elder scrolls 5
But you got so many ESO expansions in that time! /s
I hate thinking about how old I will be when it gets released and how young I was when I saw the stupid trailer for it. BLEGH.
Doom Year Zero?
Was kinda hoping for Quake 5.
And no Wolfenstein 3? They're leaving that on a cliffhanger because Zenimax demanded more live service games and Youngblood flopped?
Even two more years couldn't save Redfall from a disaster.
No amount of time can save a project built on a bad concept. No one wanted an Arkane multiplayer, hero-based looter.
Licensed IP Game looking cool.
It’s DLC for Game Dev Tycoon 😅😉
Dishonored 3? Yes please
Are you sure it was the FTC and not Microsoft that posted the materials incorrectly?
Why do we keep linking that shitty elon musk website, we've had news about how horrible a person he is yet people keep linking twitter and giving him traffic
Aren't those remasters like Oblivion and Fallout 3 outsourced to some differnt studio, which is using Unreal engine for them? It won't be very moddable then.
I will just wait for Skyblivion.
Wait, why would they use Unreal? Seems way easier to port them to newer versions of Creation to me.
Holy shit talk about fucking NOTHING. I guess elder scrolls is just forever fucked into live service content-at-a-slow-trickle-pace hell?
Who the fuck asked for any of this shit, doom and maybe dishonored aside???
Are you talking about Elder Scrolls Online? They've been on the once a quarter release cycle for a while now, most of this is old news.
Es6
20242026? Doubt it.Fallout 3 remaster?
Yes please.
