Similar to Rockstar, Bethesda Softworks strongly believes in the development of glacial video games.
The studio, most famous for defining the genre Elder Scrolls series, has not yet revisited the world of Nirn since the fifth installment of the franchise, Skyrim, arrived more than nine years ago. A sixth entry, of course, has already been confirmed to exist in one way or another, although it probably isn’t until the launch of the new sci-fi IP Starfield this large-scale production will begin. That being the case, high fantasy RPG worshipers still have an excruciating wait to fight before they can embark on new adventures in the land of Tamriel, and needless to say, impatience is well-rooted, with no end in sight for drought. .
Anxious as ever to establish itself as the right destination for small-screen video game adaptations, however, Netflix is reportedly in the early stages of creating an exclusive property-based live action series, no doubt in an effort to capitalize on the insatiable appetite of fans for eternally absent Elder Scrolls VI. This is all according to notable insider Daniel Richtman, at least, who suggests that the streaming platform is trying to replicate the huge success of Lauren Schmidt Hissrich The magician.
To achieve such an ambitious goal, Netflix is investing an obscene amount of money in the project on the order of $ 150 million per season. To put this figure in another perspective, The magicianThe initial run is believed to be $ 70-80 million in total, or approximately $ 10 million per episode. Not knowing how many plots (or, in this case, how long each would be) a season would make direct comparisons complicated, but suffice it to say that the company is clearly determined to make the most of the Elder Scrolls IP.
