The Elder Scrolls 6 Isn't Going to Be Like Starfield Says Todd Howard, and Will Instead Be in the Studio's 'Classic Style'
Todd Howard said Bethesda is returning to its classic RPG style with Creation Engine 3 after viewing Starfield and Fallout 76 as creative detours, nearing a major development milestone.
- On February 18, Todd Howard, Bethesda creative director, said The Elder Scrolls 6 will return to Bethesda's classic style in a Kinda Funny Games livestream.
- Calling Howard recently that Starfield and Fallout 76 are 'creative detour,' he said Bethesda's style is what 'people expect from us' and is still open to innovation.
- The studio has spent years upgrading Creation Engine 2 into Creation Engine 3 for Elder Scrolls 6 and beyond, with the majority of Skyrim developers and external partners working on the project.
- Acknowledging the wait, he said he wished he hadn’t announced the game so early and warned it’s 'still a long way off' while adding 'We're happy with where is headed right now'.
- Announced over six years ago, The Elder Scrolls 6 has faced an unusually long wait, but Howard argued this delay is necessary for the game to be great.

It feels like we've heard a lot about Bethesda's mysterious, upcoming RPG, The Elder Scrolls 6, lately.
