Few action RPGs in recent gaming history have achieved the levels of success of one of Bethesda's flagship franchises, The Elder Scrolls. It's been more than a decade since the franchise received a new entry, with Skyrim dominating the category's scene for a significant amount of time after its release, gaining a reputation as one of the best games ever made thanks to its intricacies and advanced features for its era. Bethesda officially announced The Elder Scrolls 6 through a teaser trailer in 2018, and because of the developer's seemingly undivided focus on Starfield, updates have been scarce. However, with Starfield set to release this year, The Elder Scrolls 6 could look to recent RPG titles like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet to provide lessons on narrative-building and gameplay.
