Todd Howard Talks Elder Scrolls 6 And Retirement: “I Want To Do It Forever”
Bethesda is about to introduce Starfield, but what’s following? Bethesda Game Studios is making The Elder Scrolls VI and after that Fallout 5, so the studio is staying quite hectic. In a new interview with GQ, Bethesda’s Todd Howard shared a couple of brand-new morsels about The Elder Scrolls 6 and talked about when he might retire from making video games.
Beginning off with the game’s statement in June 2018, Howard stated he typically wonders if it was the right thing to reveal it so early. “I have asked myself that a lot,” he stated.
Howard likewise confirmed that The Elder Scrolls 6, or whatever it’s called, does currently have a codename but he would not reveal it. When it comes to what he could state, Howard said the video game aims to “fill that function of the ultimate fantasy-world simulator.”
” And there are various methods to accomplish that provided the time that has passed,” he said.
Howard is 53 now and said it’s “strange for me” to think of retirement, something he believes is a “long, long method off.”
“I want to do it permanently,” he said. “I believe the way I work will probably develop, but … look at [71-year-old Mario developer and Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto] He’s still doing it,” Howard said.
In addition to his duties on Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6, Howard is an executive manufacturer on the brand-new Indiana Jones video game in the works at Machine Games.
