It’s been more than six years since Bethesda first announced that Elder Scrolls 6 is on its way. Many believe that 2025 will finally be the year when Bethesda drops some hints about the game, but that probably won’t be the case as the next Elder Scrolls 6 is still in early production.
Unfortunately, gamers aren’t really that excited about Elder Scrolls 6, considering what Todd Howard and his team did with the studio’s previous works, Fallout 76 and Starfield. However, Bethesda can still save the upcoming Elder Scrolls 6 game by directly bringing one of the best features we saw in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
FromSoftware and Hidetaka Miyazaki have given us a ton of incredible games that are bound to go down in the history books. However, one of the most special pieces that has come out of the studio is undoubtedly Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Seriously, its gameplay and setting can’t be matched by the competition.
One of the best parts about Sekiro is the game‘s stealth mechanics. Sure, you might think that they’re simple, but at the end of the day, they’re effective and work. The game allows players to hunt for enemies quietly and properly plan their approach. Players are given tons of options, such as clinging to ledges, using grappling hooks, and whatnot.
While the game gives you tons of ways to sneak up on your enemies, it also punishes you hard if you get caught. Enemies will become aggressive, and escaping can prove to be a nightmare once you’re surrounded. Gamers must make quick decisions and approach the mission with the best plan.
With Elder Scrolls 6, Bethesda can improve stealth mechanics by increasing its impact on the gameplay and making it more rewarding, just like Sekiro.
We could see enemies have better AI to detect enemies, and stealth missions play a massive role in the game’s overall narrative. We all know how terrible NPCs were in Skyrim, and that allowed gamers to trick them during stealth missions.
It’s high time for Bethesda and Todd Howard to learn from the best minds in the gaming industry and elevate the Elder Scrolls franchise.
If you’re tired of waiting for Elder Scrolls 6, there’s some good news. Rumors suggest that Bethesda is breaking up the wait for the next mainline Elder Scrolls game by dropping an Oblivion remake later this year.
Originally, Oblivion was released all the way back in 2006, and it was the first Elder Scrolls entry to be released on Xbox 360. While it might not have reached the same heights as Skyrim, the RPG had a huge impact on the Elder Scrolls franchise and the genre as a whole.
The Oblivion remake is supposed to be released this year, with several reports suggesting it could hit the shelves as early as this spring. However, it’s quite shocking that Bethesda still hasn’t announced the game, considering it’s supposed to be right around the corner.
With that said, is there any other mechanic you would like to see in Elder Scrolls 6? Let us know in the comments below.
