Bethesda Game Studios is Focused on Single-Player Games - News

Bethesda Game Studios director Todd Howard in an interview with IGN was asked if the studio was focused in developing single-player games. 

"Absolutely," Howard replied, later adding that "It's part of who we are, it's what we love about games." 

Howard did mention that even the multiplayer game, Fallout 76, added an expansion that is more single-player focused. 

"With Fallout 76, once we added Wastelanders and that kind of questing stuff, the amount of people that want to play it as a solo experience is very, very strong."

The studios currently focused on Starfield, which is set to launch for the Xbox Series X|S and PC on November 11, 2022. After that the team will focus on The Elder Scrolls VI.

Wait a sec... I still remember when EA said that single player games were dead!

Hold on. Are you saying that... they were wrong? ?

Yeah but are they going to be hand crafted Sp's without the need to rely on MT's or purchased mods and using a more stable engine?.

For sure. The only good thing that's come out of Creation Club is that the people who make the mods, get a portion of pay for their creations, but other than that, it's just paid mods. Bethesda hasn't confirmed that Creation Club will make its way to Starfield yet. Hopefully it doesn't.
