Former Bethesda Dev Questions Staff Cuts on The Elder Scrolls 6

Bethesda is facing a lot of pressure to finish The Elder Scrolls 6. Fans have been waiting years for this title, and there is a clear desire to see the project cross the finish line. However, recent news about studio layoffs has caused a stir, especially among those who have worked on the franchise for a long time.

Kurt Kuhlmann, who spent over twenty years at Bethesda as a designer and lore expert, recently spoke out about the situation. He noted that letting go of veteran staff while trying to speed up development does not make much sense. He argues that losing experienced team members often makes the development process harder and slower rather than faster.

Kuhlmann worked on major titles like the previous Elder Scrolls games and the Fallout series. His perspective highlights the frustration many feel when studios lose the very people who understand the complex inner workings of their biggest games. For now, Bethesda has not commented on how these personnel changes will impact their current production schedule.
