5.5 years? No way they’ll shut down this quickly. The next Elder Scrolls alone will carry them into 2030. (As much as I would enjoy you being right though…)
I expect it to be about as awful as Starfield. However, unlike Starfield (which didn’t sell horrendously by any source I can find, just not great) it has incredible brand recognition behind it. I have no doubts it will sell based on that alone as long as it looks like Skyrim 2 at first glance.
Edit: right after posting I figured out how to formulate what else I wanted to say but couldn’t find the correct words for: “Sadly profitability and quality don’t always correlate.”

You assume TES6 isnt going to be pure trash like FO76 and starfield but… um…
I didn’t say that.

neither of those games are pure trash. unless all you ever play is 10/10 masterpieces and nothing worse than that
Might be just enough for another remaster of Sykrim.
If starfield is anything to go by, the new elder scrolls might be a step back from modded skyrim.
Or Microsoft will just close the studio and outsource the IP. It’s how Bethesda got Fallout.
