Todd Howard provides insights about The Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield Meta and Fallout Season 3 through his discussion about Bethesda's future plans. Bethesda executive Todd Howard presented an extensive overview of upcoming projects during his main 2026 interview with Kind of Funny. Howard shared fresh details about The Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout through his presentation. Here are the essential updates from Bethesda that every fan should know about.
The most anticipated update involves the technology powering the next journey into Tamriel. Bethesda has advanced its technology from Creation Engine 2 (Starfield) to Creation Engine 3 according to Howard's statement. The engine was developed to handle all future Elder Scrolls 6 projects and related tasks which will begin after that point.
The new world systems provide advanced loading capabilities which support immediate rendering of high detail graphics. The game has just achieved a significant internal development milestone because most of the studio team members now work on development activities. Howard wanted to return to the earlier exploration method used in Skyrim and Oblivion which he referred to as classic.
Howard explained to the "No Sodium Starfield" community that the team will announce new content "soonish." The updates will bring basic improvements to the "meta" experience of space travel according to him. Players who dedicated hundreds of hours to the game will receive rewards while the game maintains its core procedural nature.
Following the massive success of Season 2, Howard confirmed that Fallout Season 3 is currently being written, with filming scheduled to begin in the Summer of 2026. The upcoming season will showcase these important features.
The show will focus heavily on New Vegas as a central hub of civilization. Howard praised Justin Theroux’s performance as Mr. House, calling him a "beast" on screen. The current characters (Lucy, the Ghoul, and Maximus) will reach their planned conclusion but the number of upcoming seasons remains unknown.
The Oblivion Remaster success made Howard change his previous opinion about bringing back older titles according to him. He prefers to keep the original game design unchanged because he considers remakes to be an unjustified alteration of the original game design. The remaster process should create the "best version you remember" according to his design philosophy.
ONe of the busiest people in gaming still takes time to play games. Howard revealed he is currently hooked on Drop Duchy, which he described as a "masterclass in game design" that blends elements of Tetris and Carcassonne. He maintains his competitive edge in College Football 26 by playing as Notre Dame to compete for the Heisman rankings.
Bethesda will handle its live service games like Fallout 76 which has reached Update 66 while maintaining its commitment to single player RPGs that established the company as an industry leader according to Todd Howard. The studio develops Elder Scrolls 6 while working on various projects ranging from video games to television shows and modding communities.
