Bethesda Addresses Concerns That The Elder Scrolls 6 Will Be Impacted By Xbox Layoffs And Claims ‘The Roadmap Is Unaffected’
This week, however, Bethesda has stated otherwise, as they believe that “the most significant restructure in Xbox history” won’t affect the game’s roadmap. This news comes from MrMattyPlays (via PC Gamer), who published a video on July 22 detailing the answers to several questions he sent to Bethesda. MrMattyPlays directly asked if the “reports of a fear of some kind of delay for The Elder Scrolls 6” following Xbox’s layoffs had any truth to them.
