Earlier this month, CEO of Microsoft Gaming and Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer revealed that Starfield has over 12 million players. While it is a big number for a game that came out only three months ago, the news wasn’t shocking because Starfield is one of the most-awaited titles of all time. Bethesda, however, hadn’t commented on the matter. That’s changing today. The developer has released some interesting statistics about the game, including the player count, and future plans for Starfield, including expansions and mods.…

Whether you love it or hate it, Starfield is one of 2023’s most notable releases. For all the things that it does well, there’s loads of stuff that Bethesda could improve upon, too. It sounds like improvements should be coming in 2024, though, according to the company’s latest announcement. Work on the company’s latest flagship appears to continue in the background. Many of its most pressing improvements have already been outlined in the days and weeks prior, but a few more precious details have just been provided,…

Skyrim and the whole Elder Scrolls series provides a near-infinite potential for modding. Some fan projects – such as Tamriel Rebuilt – expand on the original games and lore, and one other monstrous endeavor has been making great progress. In the most recent developer video diary, the Skyrim Rebuilt team has shown off the work that’s so far been carried out in expanding Cyrodiil, the region where Oblivion takes place. Over the course of 35 minutes, we get to see exactly what’s been implemented and what’s left to do.…

One tends not to associate the likes of Skyrim with Christmas. Which is surprising, really, given all that snow and burly men with big beards. But with the holiday season upon us, one modder decides to bring yuletide festivities to this cold slice of Tamriel. Back with another addition to your vanilla Skyrim playthrough, veteran modder JaySerpa has just released “The Gift of Saturalia – A Quest for the Holidays.” This mod encapsulates an Elder Scrolls type of winter celebration with a new quest to hopefully get you in…

Bethesda Softworks apparently rejected multiple proposals from Obsidian Entertainment to create more games in the Fallout series, after the release of 2010’s Fallout: New Vegas. Fallout: New Vegas was the only title Obsidian Entertainment worked on in the Fallout franchise, but according to co-founder and former chief creative officer Chris Avellone, the studio pitched further games to Bethesda alongside ideas for Elder Scrolls spin-offs. All of them were turned down. Taking to social media last year to answer about the…

Chris Avellone, the former chief creative officer and co-founder of Fallout: New Vegas developer Obsidian Entertainment, has revealed that the company tried to make an Elder Scrolls game in a similar vein. In a thread confirming an old tweet uncovered by 80 Level, Avellone discussed details about the proposal. This is true. One of the Elder Scrolls proposals (which I pitched) was intended to serve the same function as FNV did between F3 and F4, to provide more adventures in the setting during the years before the next…

There’s been a lot of criticism in the gaming world lately. Yes, I’m talking about The Day Before, but it goes beyond that. In fact, negative feedback from the community seems to have gotten so bad that Starfield‘s design director has had a few (hundred) words to say about it. As reported by PC Gamer, Bethesda’s own Emil Pagliarulo decided to give an honest opinion about “how disconnected some players are from the realities of game development.” The thread – which goes on for 15 posts – offers a defense of studios,…

Anybody remember when Bethesda said we could expect a PS5 and Xbox Series upgrade of Fallout 4 sometime in the future? It’s understandable if you’ve forgotten. It was kind of brushed to the side, but now the studio has a (sort of) update. In a recent post on the official Twitter account, Bethesda has thanked fans for their patience in waiting for the Fallout 4 next-gen update. However, the developer says it needs “a bit more time” so don’t expect it any day now. Thank you for your patience with us as we work on the…

If you’ve been crowding around your gaming console waiting for the long-promised “next-gen” patch for Fallout 4, you still have a ways to go. Bethesda just announced that the update has been pushed to 2024, after being promised for this year. There has been no information given as to what part of the year the patch would release, though developers have stated they just need “a bit more time.”The “next-gen” patch is really a current-gen update, as it's being developed for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. However, Fallout 4 did…
