The Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield will be exclusively single-player games

Bethesda is one of the few teams that are still holding for an "good old" single player. Even though they have games with which they aim at multiplayer (Quake Champions, for example), most of their titles (Dishonored, The Evil Within) provide solo experiences. This should soon be changed because Fallout 76 will be an online survival game, and Wolfenstein: Youngblood will have a cooperative gaming mode.

In Bethesda they've expected that this will raise some doubts in fans, if not panic, and one of the ways they wanted to calm their fans included the announcements of two new projects - Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6. Both of these games are far from complete and there was a question why they were announced at all if Bethesda had nothing concrete to show to us. An answer was offered by Bethesda's VP of marketing, Pete Hines, in an interview with FZ.se.

"We wanted to say: look, we're making new IP, Sci-Fi themes and epic single-player ... it's a single-player game, that is that. This helps us to persuade people; see - [online] is not something we will do forever. Next time we will make a game that is just single-player, and yes, we will come to The Elder Scrolls 6. It will take some time for us to be ready to talk about these games because we want the time between talking about these games and release of those not to be two or three years. It gives people a better idea of where we're going and understanding what the studio is doing and what it's trying to do," Hines said.
