Todd Howard: Elder Scrolls 6 Moves to Creation Engine 3 and Returns to Classic Bethesda RPG Design

Most of Bethesda is now on a playable TES6 that is nearing an internal milestone.

Overview

  • Howard confirmed Creation Engine 3 will power The Elder Scrolls 6 and future Bethesda titles.
  • The upgraded engine focuses on rendering, world systems, loading, and bringing high detail close to the camera.
  • He characterized Fallout 76 and Starfield as creative detours and said TES6 returns to the Skyrim and Oblivion style of exploration.
  • There is no release date or window, with Howard cautioning the game is still “a while yet.”
  • Howard noted that many developers who worked on Skyrim remain at the studio as work accelerates on TES6.
