    we all know this is nonsense, right? like, the development cycles have gotten so long because theyve just decided that its better that way

        im not advocating for things like fifa, cod or NBA, but a~15 year wait between games of the same franchise like elder scrolls is pretty ridiculous

          Not that elder scrolls 6 has been in development for 12 years. The long wait is for other reasons like prioritizing other games, not actual development time.

            I honestly bet ESVI just started actual, large scale development recently. Like within the last year as Starfield is wrapping up. We aren’t seeing that game until like 2026-2027 imo.

            We might have actually gone from the last Space Shuttle flight (July 8, 2011) to the first noon landing since Apollo (2025-2026) before ESVI is released. Crazy.

              Haha that puts it into a crazy perspective, who knows maybe we’ll even have the start of a human colony on mars by the time ESVI is out.
