This doesn't come as a surprise, as Bethesda was very coy about it when it debuted at E3 2018.

"We've been talking about it for a decade, we started putting things on paper five, six years ago, and active development was from when we finished <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/fallout-4/">Fallout 4</a>, so two and a half, three years," Howard said. "Everyone should be very patient [for Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6]. It's gonna take a while for what we have in mind to come out."</p><p>On the other hand, QuakeCon will deliver more details about Fallout 76, the next major release from Bethesda.
