The Elder Scrolls VI (XBOX ONE/XSX)

The Elder Scrolls VI (XBOX ONE/XSX) is the sixth full-fledged part of the famous RPG series The Elder Scrolls, launched in 1994 with the title The Elder Scrolls: Arena. The latest project was confirmed in June 2018, when Todd Howard, director and executive producer, announced that the game was in development

According to recent news, The Elder Scrolls 6 (Xbox Series X) will introduce significant changes to the gameplay mechanics – we will get, among other things, elements of survival and a new magic system.

The first of these things is not a big surprise – Bethesda experimented with a similar idea in Fallout 4 and presented it in its latest work, Fallout 76. It will not be difficult to transfer these solutions to a fantasy setting (modders for many years successfully enriched the previous parts of TES – Oblivion and Skyrim – with the mechanics of hunger, thirst or cold).

The information about magic in The Elder Scrolls 6 (XSX) is more interesting, since in order to pronounce spells, as they say, you need to draw runes with the help of a mouse or analog stick. A similar solution has already appeared in other games, such as Okami HD or ARX Fatalis. It is interesting that the latter was created by Arkane Studios, a company that was bought out by ZeniMax Media (the owner of Bethesda, which last year, in turn, ended up in the hands of Microsoft) more than ten years ago. However, such mechanics are not always liked by the majority of players, so it is difficult to say whether they will actually enter TES VI or even pass testing.
