Todd Howard Confirms The Elder Scrolls 6 Brings Back Bethesda's Classic Single Player Formula
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Todd Howard revealed in a Kinda Funny interview that The Elder Scrolls 6 will return to Bethesda's classic single player style, moving away from recent detours like Starfield and Fallout 76.
Bethesda director Todd Howard recently offered some insight into the long awaited development of The Elder Scrolls 6 during an interview on Kinda Funny. While specifics remain scarce for now, Howard reassured the community that the upcoming massive RPG will return to the studio's classic style. That means a distinct pivot away from the procedural experimentation of Starfield and the live service focus of Fallout 76, bringing the studio back to the traditional single player design philosophy that defined Skyrim and Oblivion.
For players who have spent over a decade replaying Skyrim across multiple console generations and cloud setups, the confirmation is a welcome relief. Bethesda has spent recent years exploring new territory with online multiplayer systems and vast, scattered galaxy generation. Hearing that the core team is returning to a tight, handcrafted world model addresses a lot of community anxiety about where the franchise is heading.
Howard also noted that the majority of the original development team that built Skyrim is still at Bethesda, providing crucial institutional knowledge for the next chapter. While we are still waiting for a proper gameplay reveal or a firm release window, knowing that the studio is leaning back into its single player roots gives the player base a clear reason to stay invested. You can watch the full interview over at Kinda Funny to hear all the details directly from the source.
