The anticipation around The Elder Scrolls VI is growing, but the recent reception of Bethesda’s games, especially Fallout 76 and Starfield, creates uncertainty about how the new title will be received. Although Starfield achieved favorable ratings from critics, with an 83 on Xbox and an 85 on PC, its perception on social media has been mostly negative. This raises questions about Bethesda’s design model, which many consider outdated.
The Crossroads He Faces
Since the release of Skyrim, one of the most acclaimed video games of all time, the company has been stumbling. Fallout 4 was also a success, but Fallout 76 faced a wave of criticism for its problematic launch, although it has improved since then. What really worries fans is that, despite the good numbers, the community has labeled Starfield as a failure. This dissonance between the critics and public reception indicates that Bethesda has a challenge ahead for The Elder Scrolls VI.
There are speculations that the next title could be a reimagining of Starfield, shifting its science fiction focus to a fantasy universe. However, analysts believe that if the company does not make significant changes in its game design, it could repeat the varied experience that Starfield had. The widespread criticism about the lack of modernization and design in the current field could affect the reception of a highly anticipated game like The Elder Scrolls VI.
As players anticipate more innovations, it is also important to consider the climate on social media, which has contributed to a negative atmosphere around video game releases. The public pressure for a game to be successful can influence perspectives, which could complicate the situation for Bethesda when presenting its next installment in the vast world of RPGs.
