News-deprivedElder Scrolls 6fans have turned to Bethesda’s most recent title,Starfield, to get a glimpse of what the highly anticipated RPG could eventually look like.Elder Scrolls 6fans have been extremely patient over the years, with the wait for a sequel toSkyrimset to extend to 14 years later this year.
The Elder Scrolls 6was announced with a vague cinematic trailerback in 2018, seven years after the release ofSkyrim. In hindsight, the game was probably announced too early, as it set an expectation of a release within a shorter timeframe than what has transpired. Bethesda has largely remained tight-lipped about the project, and that 2018 trailer is still the only official look at the game. Even the setting remains a mystery, and some fans are getting impatient.
As spotted over atTheGamer, Redditor PotatoEatingHistory has taken to pushingStarfield’s graphics settingsto the maximum, capturing some stunning screenshots of characters in the game in dramatic lighting in Photo Mode. WhileThe Elder Scrolls 6will obviously have a very different visual aesthetic fromStarfield, it’s an interesting glimpse at what Bethesda’s Creation Engine 2 is capable of when pushed to the limit.
Some Bethesda Fans Are Using Starfield For a Glimpse of The Elder Scrolls 6’s Graphical Potential
Most agreed thatStarfieldstill looks good a few years later, but others had higher hopes for the upcomingElder Scrollssequel. User BilboniusBagginius says they “assume they’ll look quite a bit better. Like going from Fallout 4 to Starfield.” Another pointed out that they “don’t really like the dead eyes staring at my soul from Starfield NPCs,” with others clarifying that it’s the characters in motion that need improvement forThe Elder Scrolls 6.
There’s still no sign of when fans can expect to hear more from Bethesda regardingThe Elder Scrolls 6. Last month, a rumor claimed that anElder Scrolls 6trailer is in the works, although nothing has yet come of this. Given the fact thatStarfieldwas only released in late 2023, there’s no reason to believe a newElder Scrollstitle is on the horizon any time soon, although those who have already waited nearly 14 years for a sequel may not be particularly pleased by this.
