Bethesda teases two
epic adventures for RPG fans

E

3 2018 was packed with new game
announcements big and small, giving
gamers around the globe much to
look forward to in the weeks and months
ahead. While most of those games were shown
off as narrative-focused trailers, gameplay
footage or even hands-on demos, there were
two games in particular that received little
more than a name and the acknowledgement
that they existed.
And yet, they may have been two of the
biggest announcements of the entire show.
The first came near the end of Bethesda's
pre-E3 showcase, when game designer and
director Todd Howard came out to reveal his
studio's next project. The first shock hit when
Howard told the crowd that the game was not
intended for the Xbox One or PlayStation 4,
but instead was being crafted for nextgeneration consoles. Then, in another
surprise, he announced that it would be
something nobody had ever seen before,
making it the company's first original franchise in 25 years.

While almost nothing was revealed about this
next-gen adventure called Starfield, we do know
it's been rumored to be coming from Bethesda
Game Studios for quite some time, and that it'll
be an epic single-player RPG set in space.
"Starfield is a game that we have spent years
thinking about and working on," Howard said.
"[It's] something we feel uniquely positioned to
pull off, and that we're incredibly excited about."
Howard wasn't finished at Starfield,
however, as he had one final card to play. He
announced that Bethesda was also working on
the game that'd be following Starfield, and that
it was "the one you keep asking about." With
that said, it was no surprise when that project
was revealed to be The Elder Scrolls VI.

While both of those announcements came
as hugely exciting news for RPG fans, you'll
definitely want to temper that excitement just
a bit. After the showcase, Howard explained
that Starfield is currently in production, and is
playable in some fashion, but it still sounds like
we shouldn't be expecting its release any time
soon. The Elder Scrolls VI, meanwhile, is still
only in the preproduction phase.
Still, among numerous announcements of
more imminent games, it's nice to get a bit of
a peek at what's even further down the road.
These teases for both Starfield and The Elder
Scrolls VI are assuredly only but the first of many
to come, so game lovers everywhere will have a
whole lot of RPG excitement to look forward to.
