Starfield, sure. I feel like a reveal for that should be coming soon.

Elder Scrolls. No. They've made it clear that it isn't ready to be talked about, they're even a bit angry about it. I expect silence on it for, at the very least, next two years. And that's just for hearing info about it.

Worth noting this is what Pete Hines said about Elder Scrolls VI a month ago:

Could care less about ES6 with Starfield coming before it. I'm clamoring for more info on the latter. Even if it releases over a year from now. Info, alpha gameplay, whatever.

They should keep whatever they're cooking for another decade in the oven and maybe it won't turn out to be a mess like FO4. Way more interested in Obsidia's new RPG.

For Starfield I'm half-expecting a super minute tease of star field in late December. Then them saying something like "more to come next year..." Not expecting anything for Skyrim 2 for at least another two years

You're not supposed to ask questions about Starfield or Elder Scrolls even though they were announced like two fucking years ago or Pete Hines will get upset.

I feel like 2025 is the earliest we'd get an ES6 release. Starfield needs to be released first, then you have their DLC cycle for that, and then they can really work on Elder Scrolls.

I'm betting it releases towards the end of the next generation, and may be cross-gen with the following gen. I also wouldn't be shocked if it's a PS6/XSX2 gen only title.

Doubt it. But it's cool, I want them to take their time.

The SSD tech was the tech Todd was talking about that they needed to make the next elder scrolls.

Now that it's here, we can finally have the TES game I've always dreamed about where you could have a vast simulation, go to an in during a storm, look out the window watch the storm, and see the AI exhibiting complex emergent behaviors in and out of interiors and exteriors.

I expect Starfield to be revealed next year for a holiday release.

New gens seem to be the exception for developers revealing games earlier than they normally would though (see Capcom with RE8 and especially Pragmata), so who knows - it wouldn't surprise me if Starfield showed up at MS's event.

I kind of expect to see Starfield later this year, and I think it will be an early 2021 release, similar to Oblivion. Won't be surprised to see it at Microsoft's conference.

To reassure the fans that FO76 is an exception and they're still doing single-player games.

Unlikely
I'm expecting a completely new engine from them considering it's a new IP and they have taken so long since F4.

Apparently Starfield is supposed to be out first.
I think maybe a minute long CG trailer to show the general setting and atmosphere they're going for.

I wouldn't be surprised if we don't hear about the next Elder Scrolls in any meaningful way until late this gen. We still have no idea when Starfield is coming, and a proper Elder Scrolls game takes a long time to make even once they start full production on it.

I'm currently getting my Elder Scrolls fix from ESO so I don't mind waiting but I do think they should show us starfield already. At this point I'm expecting them to show it next "e3" and release it Fall 2021.

I am expecting to hear something about Starfield this year. Ever if it comes out next year they need to start hyping it up.

Not sure about this year, but 2021 for sure. I wouldn't be surprised to see some cinematic trailers this year, but Starfield and Elders Scroll VI are like GTA VI for me. Expecting those games to come out 2023 ~

It's kind of sad that we've gone a full generation without a new mainline Elder Scrolls game, or even any real information on one.

Just remove these two from your mind and be pleasantly surprised in 2025 for a teaser.

Why do they take so long, is the complexity of the game? Are they slow? Games are in development hell? Or do we just have unrealistic expectations?
