Bethesda’s Todd Howard recently told GQ that The Elder Scrolls 6 is still years away. He emphasized that fans will need to be patient, and suggested the game might not even come out on current gaming consoles. While he didn’t give a specific release date, his comments indicate a longer wait than many are hoping for.
I remember when Bethesda first announced The Elder Scrolls 6 way back in 2018! We’ve all been dying for news ever since, but it’s been pretty quiet, and honestly, a little frustrating. Then, out of nowhere, they dropped the Oblivion Remaster in April 2025, and a lot of us started thinking, ‘Maybe they’ll do the same thing with the Skyrim sequel!’ Now, Todd Howard, who’s in charge of the whole series, has hinted that a surprise release might actually be happening, which is incredibly exciting!
Today also marks the tenth anniversary of Fallout 4, which first came out on November 10th, 2015. With both Fallout and The Elder Scrolls doing well – especially with the recent popularity of the Fallout TV show on Amazon – you’d expect Bethesda to have released some new games, wouldn’t you? Actually… that’s not quite the case.
NetEase Games and Everstone Studio announced that pre-downloads for Where Winds Meet will start November 12th at 2 PM Pacific Time, 5 PM Eastern Time, 10 PM GMT, or 11 PM Central European Time. Everstone Studio also revealed on the PlayStation Blog that players will receive significant rewards at launch, including three unique outfits and other cosmetic items.
Don’t be intimidated by technical terms like “open-source engine reimplementation”! Using OpenMW is actually very easy – you just download it and launch it (you do need to have the original Morrowind game installed first). I highly recommend checking it out – the developers have just released version 0.50, and it’s a significant update.
Daniel Vávra, the director of both Kingdom Come: Deliverance games, seems to agree with Fraser’s assessment. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Vávra gave Obsidian’s newest game a solid, but not spectacular, 7 out of 10. However, he expressed disappointment, stating that despite fifteen years and significant resources from Microsoft, the team behind his favorite games (Fallout and New Vegas) hasn’t been able to innovate beyond the established formula with any new gameplay mechanics.
Launching on November 14th, Where Winds Meet will appeal to all kinds of players, with options for both a solo story experience and cooperative multiplayer fun.
Although Japanese patent application JP 2024-031879 isn’t central to the Palworld lawsuit, it’s connected to the patents Nintendo claims are being violated. This application is linked to both a parent patent Nintendo is citing and a child patent stemming from it. Its rejection might allow Pocketpair to request a similar review of the patents they’re accused of infringing.
After a successful launch in China last year, the free-to-play game Where Winds Meet is now expanding globally. Millions of players have already pre-registered to receive rewards when it becomes available worldwide.
Avowed didn’t invent the idea of having clickable words in conversations that explain important details – things like characters, places, or story terms – without forcing you to open a separate menu. Obsidian, the game’s developer, even used a similar system in their previous game, Pillars of Eternity 2. That’s why I was surprised to find this feature missing from The Outer Worlds 2.
