As a bare minimum, we’d expect The Elder Scrolls 6 to have a similar level of mod support.

With Steam Workshop mod support, it became trivially easy to add mods into the PC version of Skyrim. Support for mods has seen Skyrim go from a vast open-world game to an RPG that can still feel fresh nearly a decade after its release in late 2011. So we’d not be surprised to see The Elder Scrolls 6 build upon that, and deliver a more refined and dynamic virtual experience for people with powerful PCs and some of the best VR headsets (opens in new tab) you can buy. It's one of our picks for the best VR games (opens in new tab).

Skyrim spread across a load of platforms, and eventually ended up being a game you could play in VR. We expect to see a whole lot of dramatic screenshots of vistas and skylines on social media when the game finally comes out.

With the potential power that the Xbox Series X and PS5 can bring to bear, not to mention gaming PC hardware over the next few years, The Elder Scrolls 6 should look spectacular. In short, we’re expecting The Elder Scrolls 6 to be a significant evolution over Skyrim, but still very much an Elder Scrolls game at its core. We’d like to be able to better traverse the open world and find new ways to tackle enemies, other than hacking away at them with swords and blasting them with fireballs. Given that Bethesda is the publisher of the Dishonored games, the company could draw some inspiration from those titles and add some immersive sim elements into The Elder Scrolls 6. We're tired of hearing guards spout about how they used to be adventurers until they suffered arrow-related injuries to the lower parts of their bodies. And we absolutely want Bethesda to find ways around repeated dialogue from NPCs. If you planted a tree, for example, perhaps it would eventually grow. Neither would the ability to do more in the open world, like establishing a stronghold or leaving more of a mark on the world. More dynamic combat and spell-casting wouldn’t go amiss. Bethesda could take notes games like Red Dead Redemption 2 (opens in new tab) and The Witcher 3, which have a lot of side quests that relate to the games’ core stories. We do hope Bethesda will make a more compelling story in The Elder Scrolls 6, as the one in Skyrim was decent, but some of the side quests felt more compelling. The game will likely be a massive open-world game where you won’t have to follow the main story, and can instead wander well off the beaten path to clamber up mountains, plumb the depths of cave systems, and poke around ruined fortresses and towers. With no game footage released for The Elder Scrolls 6, we can only guess that it will share some of the core game elements of Skyrim. Or the game could span several of the Tamriel provinces, which is why it's simply been called The Elder Scrolls 6. But going by the mountains in the trailer, there’s been speculation that the game could take place in High Rock, home of the mage-centric Bretons, or in Hammerfell, the land of the warrior-like Redguard.
