🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformThe Elder Scrolls 6 Might Have An 8-Letter Subtitle
The Elder Scrolls 6(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-elder-scrolls-6-release-date-trailer-news/1100-6492383/) is one of Microsoft's biggest upcoming games, but it remains largely a mystery, despite being announced more than eight years ago.(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/elder-scrolls-6-was-announced-8-years-ago-today-heres-why-it-didnt-show-up-at-xbox-showcase/) Today, August 11, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma provided an update on it, saying she witnessed a "live playthrough" of the game. She also teased the game's subtitle, or at least that's what it seems like. "The scale and grandeur are incredible. The story is even greater," she said. Those are buzzwords that do not mean much of anything. More intriguingly, Sharma included asterisks in her post that suggest she's referring to the game's subtitle. Her post used eight characters, and people are theorizing as to what it could be, if that is indeed what she is teasing in the first place. The Elder Scrolls 6 is indeed likely to have a subtitle, as all previous games in the main series also did. These include The Elder Scrolls: Arena, The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. https://twitter.com/ashashar/status/2087258678000779664 In July, Bethesda provided an update on The Elder Scrolls 6, saying it understands "it's been a very long wait for the sequel."(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fallout-5-re-confirmed-alongside-fallout-3-and-fallout-new-vegas-remasters/) "The next chapter is on the way. We’re where we planned to be, loving how it looks, and playing it every day," the studio explained. This statement came after the mass layoffs and upheaval at Xbox related to the "reset" of the business. The layoffs hit Bethesda as well, and staff at the studio said they fear further delays for The Elder Scrolls 6(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-elder-scrolls-6-devs-fear-more-delays-after-layoffs-have-crushing-effect-on-morale/) and have expressed concerns about the "crushing effect on morale"(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-elder-scrolls-6-devs-fear-more-delays-after-layoffs-have-crushing-effect-on-morale/) related to the layoffs. The Elder Scrolls 6 is one of multiple new games in the works at Bethesda and its supporting teams. Some of the others include remasters of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fallout-5-re-confirmed-alongside-fallout-3-and-fallout-new-vegas-remasters/), while Obsidian is working on some other new Fallout game(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fallout-5-re-confirmed-alongside-fallout-3-and-fallout-new-vegas-remasters/). Fallout 5(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fallout-5-release-date-trailer-news/1100-6522412/) is also in the works.
🎮 Multi-platformNo Man’s Sky Could Have Made So Much Money From DLC And Microtransactions, Sean Murray Says
The head of No Man's Sky developer Hello Games, Sean Murray, has said it would be a bad idea for his mental health to think about how much money the studio could have made by charging for the game's various expansions or by selling microtransactions. "I'm sure somebody could take me aside, take me into a room and show me some PowerPoint and show me that we could have made more money if we had done in-app purchase or, you know, if we had done DLC or something like that," Murray told GamesRadar(https://www.gamesradar.com/games/survival/sean-murray-doesnt-care-how-much-money-no-mans-sky-dlc-wouldve-made-and-it-doesnt-matter-because-updates-will-stay-free/). "'And maybe that would be true. I never want to see that PowerPoint." Murray and the team decided against this, though, because the studio wanted players to have access to all of the post-release content together. "What I know is that I really, really enjoy--and I think the team really gets a kick out of--working on an update and knowing that what I'm working on, everyone is going to experience this," he explained. "Every player that we have is going to experience this. And I think we really enjoy the journey, and the journey is only possible because every update compounds." He went on to say that a feature like the Xeno Arena(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/no-mans-sky-is-adding-pokemon-style-battles-in-xeno-arena/1100-6539279/), a turn-based creature-battle mode, would not work "if you're fragmenting your audience." "It's a big part of our motivation, what gets us out of bed in the morning," Murray said. "So it doesn't matter if it's not the most commercially efficient thing that we can do. I think what matters is that it makes us still excited about working on it 10 years out." No Man's Sky recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, and Murray separately said players have only discovered 1% of the game's world, even now(https://kotaku.com/no-mans-sky-players-have-visited-less-than-1-percent-of-its-planets-after-a-decade-of-exploration-and-40-major-updates-2000722999). Hello Games is now working on a new game called Light No Fire(https://www.gamespot.com/games/light-no-fire/), an ambitious-looking game with dragons; it has no release date yet.

🎮 Multi-platformBattlefield 6 Trailer Shows Off New Version Of Wake Island, And It Looks Incredible
EA and Battlefield Studios have released a new trailer for Battlefield 6 that shows off the upcoming fan-favorite map Wake Island(https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/WakeIsland), which arrives on August 18 alongside a Top Gun-themed crossover event. Wake Island, which first appeared in Battlefield 1942, is inspired by the real-life Wake Atoll in the Pacific ocean where a World War II battle took place, and it's among the most beloved Battlefield maps ever. The newest version of the map for Battlefield 6 looks pretty incredible, at least based on the newly released gameplay footage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4tHPByfAZk EA said Wake Island was "rebuilt" for Battlefield 6, and that includes a stronger focus on naval warfare, along with updates to the land- and air-based combat. The new update for Battlefield 6 coming on August 18 also adds the F/A-81F Super Spectre and F-74A Seacat two-seat jets, bringing back a feature not seen since Battlefield 2 some 21 years ago(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/battlefield-6-is-getting-a-feature-not-seen-in-21-years-and-a-top-gun-crossover/). Three characters from Top Gun are coming to Battlefield 6 in the update, and they are voiced by their original actors. These include Lt. Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw (Miles Teller), Lt. Robert “Bob” Floyd (Lewis Pullman), and Adm. Solomon “Warlock” Bates (Charles Parnell). The game will also get Top Gun-inspired cosmetics. Battlefield 6 was also in the news recently after the game's successful launch helped EA CEO get a higher bonus(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ea-ceo-got-a-huge-pay-increase-while-company-laid-off-devs/). EA also laid off a number of developers who helped make Battlefield 6 a major success(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ea-reportedly-cuts-staff-at-battlefield-6-dev-after-games-massive-initial-success/1100-6538673/), and now the franchise is owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ea-has-officially-been-sold-and-what-comes-next-could-be-painful/) by way of its buyout of EA.
