The Indiana Jones game that Bethesda announced today will have no impact on the development of Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6, confirmed Bethesda’s head of marketing, Pete Hines.
Similarly, Hines says that Todd Howard of Bethesda will continue to focus primarily on directing Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6, despite being linked to the game Indiana Jones as executive producer. Responding to Twitter fans who were concerned about the number of projects Howard is undertaking at the same time, Hines clarified Howard’s priorities at Bethesda.
“Todd is currently an EP in many [Bethesda Game Studios] and other projects, such as the TV show Fallout. His main focus remains on directing the next Starfield and TES6 games, which will not be affected by today’s news, “said Hines.

First announced at E3 2018, Starfield is Bethesda’s next big project after Fallout 76, although details have been sparse. Howard himself said in September that “it is becoming too good an exaggeration for a game that no one has seen”.
It’s true – in addition to a very enigmatic ad teaser, Xbox hasn’t released much on Starfield. We know it’s been in development for over 10 years, it’s a sci-fi game for one player, and it could be an Xbox / PC exclusive due to Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda.
As for The Elder Scrolls 6, it will be released at some point after Starfield and, as such, we have even less details about it. Like Starfield, it is unclear whether the next Elder Scrolls game will hit the Sony and Nintendo consoles, but Xbox CFO Tim Stuart has suggested that Bethesda games will be “first or better or better” on Xbox platforms.
Here’s what the teaser for Bethesda’s Indiana Jones game can tell us about the game.
