Xbox Game Studios |OT8| Leaving The Drought Behind And Heading For Starfield

[Staffy]

@Failwood

I think TES VI will be a late 2026, early 2027 title. So more of a swansong for the XS, since I’m assuming the nex Xbox will launch late 2027 at the earliest.

About 8 years after the announcement that would be, yeah I can see that being the case. In what stage of development is it now, do we know?

@tbassett

I don’t think that’s how it’ll play out. Series S and X are very even except with the resolution they can output. If you stop supporting one, might as well cut off the other.

Slightly off topic but is there a thread that lists all First party projects in development and also stuff Jez and Grubb have leaked ?

Xbox Projects and Timelines Thread | Official and Rumored List (65 and MORE TBD)

[20220118_100746] [20220118_161220] Art by @Klobrille Hey everyone felt bored so I decided to make a thread on all rumored and confirmed xbox games in case we wanna funnel talk of all those projects into one place. Wanna give @DeoGame a shout since I took his list from weeks ago for the core version and I added some different touches to it. Disclaimer: In the process of the Activision Acquisition I have only added here (to stat pad) the CoD trio, Blizzard and Toys for Bob. The rest I recko…

I would assume pre production, with the army ready to move over once Starfield releases (with some amount of staff staying behind to develop DLC)

Thats gonna be fallout 5 relax

Fallout 5 ? if TES VI is 2026 then how todd and team would finish fallout 5 in one year even 2 years is not possible assuming next gen is 2027.

Fallout 5 would be next gen exclusive.

@pg2g

Xbox will have enough teams that there won’t be a reason for anything to be delayed to be a launch title.

TES VI is not like other games though…this is Bethesda biggest IP

Pre-production as per Todd

Yeah, imagine having 1 million console users to sell it to though.

still early, all teams focusing on starfield right now.

@pg2g

yeah i mean why people against the idea, there still other games for MS in 2026 and TES VI would perfect marketing tool for new gen push. it would be cross-gen title

We are not talking about next gen exclusivity tho .

Because we are paying a monthly fee for these games. Delaying without a valid consumer centric reason would make me irate tbh.

People will wait til they get the new console for a proper experience.

TES games sell for like 5+ years. Release it when it’s ready, provide a next gen update when it launches to keep it in the limelight and keep it selling.

[Weaam]

MS won’t do any next console exclusives going forward, 2 years of corssgen support, they are bind to GP

yeah but this decision would be made 1-2years before the launch, you won’t get TES VI release date until 2026.

Bethesda like to do full-blown reveal

I started Oblivion on steam a few days ago and it’s fantastic. Highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys roleplaying games, in some ways it’s better than Skyrim. I really like the LOTR style world they got going on and some of the cheesy voice acting + character models have aged…pretty well? It sort of adds to the world.

I really enjoyed that one, the quests were far better than those in Skyrim.

Problem with Oblivion for me is that its gameplay systems aged like cheese.

ahhh it would be cross buy though…

@DARK-PARADISE

Which is actually ridiculous and someone has to come up with some tech and paradigms that reduce that. Movies and TV seasons average a year or less in production… The gap is ridiculous.

wouldn’t procedural generating tools/engines be the key to this?

Interesting read about population, including making Starfield exclusive that could “hinder” the goal of most played game of Todd’s portfolio.
