Todd Howard kinda wishes he hadn't announced The Elder Scrolls 6 the way he did

A vista of plains and mountains with the worlds "The Elder Scrolls VI" over the top.

We've been talking an awful lot about Starfield over the past few weeks, but hey, what about Bethesda's other upcoming mega-RPG, The Elder Scrolls 6? It's been a full five years since the next great adventure in Tamriel was announced, and we still know absolutely nothing about it. That's unlikely to change anytime soon, judging from a new interview with GQ, in which game director Todd Howard admitted that if he had to do that reveal all over again, he might handle it a little differently.

The announcement of The Elder Scrolls 6 at the tail end of Bethesda's E3 2018 conference was incredibly brief—so brief that there were really only two things we could say about it: It's a very long way off, and there will be mountains. Nonetheless, the reaction to the long-awaited confirmation that something was coming at some point was uproarious. In fact it far outstripped the response to Starfield, which Bethesda had revealed immediately prior to the TES6 news.
