Xbox Chief Content Officer Matt Booty in an interview with Variety revealed he has had a chance to see The Elder Scrolls VI and says it "looks amazing."
"I would say one of the more challenging balancing acts of someone in a job like mine is balancing that you want to go show the world all the cool stuff you’re working on, and you want to get them excited early, but we also know that we want to wait till the right moment," said Booty. And when you decide to show it, you want it to be the best you’ve got. And also that when you show the game, you’re also giving them a promise of, hey, it’s coming soon.
"So I can tell you, having visited Bethesda and sat with Todd and seen Elder Scrolls (VI) playing, it looks amazing, and it’s coming along well. And we’ll make sure to announce it and really reveal it at the right time."
Bethesda Game Studios boss Todd Howard in December 20025 did state development on the game is "progressing really well."
"It’s progressing really well," said Howard at the time. "The majority of the studio’s on VI, but I’ll say this: We always overlap. So, we’re very used to overlapping development. And we have long pre-productions on things so that we feel good about them. And it’s a process. We all wish it went a little bit faster – or a lot faster – but it’s a process that we want to get right."

Banging. Can't wait for 2036
You're an optimist.
Nah will launch in 2030 on the next xbox launch
Xbox Exc: Game looks amazing
Internet: Lol of course he will say that.
Sony Exc: Game looks amazing
Internet: Omg I cant wait, must be amazing.
It writes itself.
Yeah, but if it's true it's true. Sony exclusives tend to look amazing, whereas if Bethesda is still using their geriatric engine, well..
It must be hard living with this much a victim complex
Dont cry to me, I dont care.
Playstation have a much better track record with their games.
Unlike Xbox where we only know Forza will be great.
Sure mate.
Devs will literally claim their cancelled game was the best multiplayer game they’d ever played, so can we really put any stock in this?
Xbox Exec says Xbox game looks amazing. More news at 10.
To be fair, it doesn't matter what an Xbox exec says because hardly anyone believes them anymore. Just like when Phil Spencer said he spent time with Rare and Everwild was looking really good but we all know how that turned out in the end.
Huh, I didn't know about that. I guess that's a fair point then. Maybe it did look good but wasn't actually good, or something went wrong later anyway... Still, this comment isn't entirely without value, but I suppose it's not particularly valuable either.

Hi-Fi Rush was a break out hit for us and our players in all key measurements and expectations. We couldn’t be happier with what the team at Tango Gameworks delivered

I think that's different, but what happened with Hi-Fi Rush seemed like utter madness on Microsoft's part.
Booty: "looks amazing."
They said the literal fucking same about Perfect Dark.
Microsoft exec glazes Microsoft developed game. In other news water is wet.
I doubt it if it uses that outdated trash engine
Hmm… with Todd Howard himself saying he doesn’t want to hear discourse surrounding TES:VI until its ready to ship, this feels like a bit of a disrespectful move to Todd’s wishes.
MB was asked a question in an interview and gave a very non-descriptive answer
Not sure how that could possibly be disrespectful... but ok
I guess what I’m saying is that a more respectful response would have been “We’ll share more info at a later date.” I’m sure Todd would’ve appreciated that more than for execs to further hype this game.
Sure. But, gamers would like it less.
People just need to ask Todd Howard how the accountability margin is going.
