Bethesda\u00a0has been one of the most successful RPG companies of the past decade and broke records with the critical and commercial success of games like Skyrim<\/em>, which sold 20 million copies between 2011 and 2014. Over the last few years, however, disappointments like Fallout 76<\/em> have made the success of\u00a0the studio’s\u00a0flagship franchise in The Elder Scrolls 6<\/em><\/strong> more important than ever.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s more competition in the first-person RPG market than there was when Skyrim<\/em> released. Between Avowed<\/em> and Cyberpunk 2077<\/em>, the genre has some highly anticipated titles on the next-gen consoles. Bethesda has also stated that The Elder Scrolls 6<\/em><\/a> will not be released until after another first-person RPG from the developer, a sci-fi epic titled\u00a0Starfield<\/em>. However, this could offer Bethesda a unique advantage that could allow the RPG giant to stay on top.<\/p>\n

Bethesda is faced with more competition than ever in the first-person RPG market. Acclaimed developer of The Witcher<\/em> series, CD Projekt Red, is moving into the first-person RPG market with Cyberpunk 2077<\/em><\/a>, one of the most hotly anticipated releases of 2020. Obsidian Entertainment, a developer many see as vying for Bethesda’s crown, is seemingly directly targeting the first-person fantasy fans who have been waiting for news about The Elder Scrolls 6<\/em>. The teaser for\u00a0Obsidian’s upcoming game Avowed<\/em> didn\u2019t reveal much, but it did show a first-person sword-and-sorcery point of view extremely reminiscent of The Elder Scrolls<\/em>.<\/p>\n

To add to the pressure, Bethesda\u2019s last few titles have been unable to achieve the same joint critical and commercial success of Skyrim<\/em>. While Fallout 4<\/em> made a profit, the voiced player character and inflexibility of the roleplay garnered a lot of criticism, with many observing that the game was a more innovative shooter than it was an RPG. Fallout 76<\/em> drew further criticism, to the extent\u00a0that The Elder Scrolls 6<\/em> was announced early<\/a> in an attempt to divert attention.<\/p>\n

There are a few ways, however, that Bethesda could turn the situation it finds itself in to its own advantage. First, the studio could look at the features that are best received in Cyberpunk 2077<\/em> and Avowed<\/em>. Cyberpunk<\/em>\u2019s melee combat<\/a>, for example, has already been criticized as clunky in previews in a similar way to Skyrim<\/em>\u2019s, so the studio needs to figure out how to make combat feel weighty and immersive in\u00a0its next first-person game.<\/p>\n

The studio could also look to upcoming projects like the rumored Mass Effect<\/em> remaster<\/a> from BioWare, especially when considering how other developers have tried to maintain older IPs. It is likely, however, that the studio will find the most success if it looks primarily\u00a0to other first-person RPGs.<\/p>\n

Fortunately for Bethesda, Starfield<\/em><\/a> offers the studio a unique opportunity to be more experimental with some of its solutions than\u00a0it might be willing to risk without precedent with a\u00a0valuable IP like The Elder Scrolls<\/em>. Starfield<\/em> should serve as the testing ground for The Elder Scrolls 6<\/em>, adapting to the next generation of first-person RPGs by learning from Avowed<\/em> and Cyberpunk<\/em>\u2019s successes and mistakes.<\/p>\n

It has been decades since Bethesda has tackled a brand new IP, however, so the studio\u2019s ability to pull of Starfield<\/em> has yet to be proven. Commercial flops like BioWare\u2019s Anthem<\/em><\/a>\u00a0demonstrate\u00a0that big developers can have critical and commercial failures, so plenty of care will still need to be taken with the upcoming game to ensure that more faith isn\u2019t lost in Bethesda.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, releasing The Elder Scrolls 6<\/em> after\u00a0Starfield,<\/em>\u00a0Avowed,<\/em> and Cyberpunk<\/em> gives Bethesda a chance to make very informed choices for the game’s direction if\u00a0it takes the opportunity. It is by learning from the competition and experimenting with\u00a0its next game that Bethesda may be able to find stable footing again and make The Elder Scrolls 6<\/em> live up to Skyrim<\/em>\u2019s<\/a> immense legacy.<\/p>\n

The Elder Scrolls 6<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is in development.<\/p>\n
