Det er nu over syv år siden, Bethesda endelig annoncerede The Elder Scrolls VI... men siden da, som vi alle ved, er der ikke sket meget. Vi ved stort set lige så lidt nu, som vi gjorde dengang, og Bethesda har været meget tilbageholdende med at tale om spillet.
Men i en række GameInformer-interviews har medlemmer af holdet nu løftet sløret en smule og gjort det klart, at de arbejder på spillet med næsten fuld kapacitet - og at de er dybt imponerede over de tekniske fremskridt. Studiedirektør Angela Browder forklarer blandt andet:
"It's wonderful to be back in this Elder Scrolls universe. As the internet likes to tell us, it's been a while. And the industry and the hardware and all of this have made such huge leaps and bounds since the last time we made one of these, like, I'm actively excited about what's in front of us, because the opportunities, the hardware, the rendering, all of this stuff has just... the possibilities are crazy! I will be honest, for me, sometimes I see things that are happening, and I go, 'Angela from Skyrim days could never have envisioned seeing this like this now,' and that is a cool thing to be a part of. And it's a thing that I hope that when the day comes that our fans play it, that they—especially those of them who've been lifers with our brands—can really see how far it's all come."
Spillets instruktør og executive producer Todd Howard bekræfter også, at arbejdet er i fuld gang, og at langt størstedelen af studiet nu er involveret:
"It's progressing really well. The majority of the studio's on VI, but I'll say this: We always overlap. So, we're very used to overlapping development. And we have long pre-productions on things so that we feel good about them. And And it's a process. We all wish it went a little bit faster - or a lot faster - but it's a process that we want to get right."
Der er endnu mere om The Elder Scrolls VI i artiklen, men det står i det mindste klart, at produktionen er godt i gang - og at ambitionerne er høje for et eventyr, som bestemt ikke virker forhastet.
