Fans of Bethesda’s legendary open-world RPG series are in turmoil following a flurry of rumors and insider comments about The Elder Scrolls 6 (TES6), the long-awaited sequel to 2011’s Skyrim. With development dragging on since its 2018 teaser trailer, speculation has reached fever pitch: a potential $100 price tag, accusations of “woke” diversity initiatives dominating the dev team, and warnings from a former Bethesda artist that the game faces impossible pressure to top Skyrim‘s enduring success.
Nate Purkeypile, a former lead artist on Fallout 4 and Skyrim, recently slammed rumors of AAA games hitting $100 as “out of touch” in interviews, arguing TES6 doesn’t need massive bloat to succeed. “They’re out of touch,” Purkeypile said of publishers eyeing premium pricing, insisting Bethesda should focus on quality over scale. His comments come amid broader industry chatter, with analysts floating $100 for tentpoles like GTA 6 due to ballooning budgets—now often exceeding $300 million. While Bethesda hasn’t commented on TES6 pricing, the notion has ignited fury among fans already weary of $70 base games plus deluxe editions and microtransactions.
Compounding the angst: a May 2025 LinkedIn post spotlighting TES6’s leadership team, which includes prominent female developers. Angela Browder serves as senior producer, studio director, and more on related projects, while Christiane Meister holds production roles. Industry critic Mark Kern (@Grummz) amplified the reveal, posting: “Elder Scrolls 6 leads. Odds on if they are woke scolds or not? It may not be fair, but pattern recognition and years of DEI have made gamers wary.” The post, featuring headshots of the team, went viral, spawning memes and rants about an “all-female dev squad” injecting progressive agendas—pronouns, “girlboss” quests, and unattractive character models—into Tamriel.
Online backlash echoes controversies in Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), where a non-binary companion drew ire in 2024. YouTube videos like “The Elder Scrolls 6 will be 100$ and woke, fans DESPERATE” have racked up thousands of views, blending pricing gripes with DEI fears. X (formerly Twitter) is ablaze: “Bethesda is a woke SHELL… Elder Scrolls 6 will be woke dogshit,” one user fumed, while others predict “millennial slop” akin to Starfield‘s mixed reception.
Purkeypile, now independent, doubled down on the hype hurdle in a fresh IGN interview: “I’m sure there will be more death threats again,” he quipped, noting Skyrim—a top-10 game of all time—sets an unattainable bar. TES6 entered early production post-Starfield (2023), with most of Bethesda Game Studios now dedicated. Leaked FTC docs pegged 2026 as the earliest window, but insiders say it’s years off, fueling “desperation.”

Fan Sentiment
70%+ X posts fear “woke slop”; Skyrim nostalgia amplifies rage.
Bethesda’s track record adds context. Skyrim sold 60 million copies, its Anniversary Edition still charts. But Starfield divided critics (Metacritic 83) over empty space and bugs, while Fallout 76‘s rocky launch lingers. Microsoft’s 2021 acquisition shifted priorities, delaying TES6 as Starfield tested Creation Engine 2.
Defenders argue the “all-female” label is hype—Browder and Meister are veterans with decades at Bethesda, contributing to hits like Fallout 76. Purkeypile clarified TES6 was teased early to placate fans pre-Starfield: “We had to make sure people weren’t just pissed at us.” Todd Howard has promised no “house style,” emphasizing player freedom.
Yet the chorus grows: “TES6 is F*CKED! Bethesda HIRES Veilguard devs,” one YouTuber blasted, tying it to broader “woke gaming” fatigue post-Concord flop. X users warn of microtransactions, Denuvo, and online mandates.
As 2026 looms—Microsoft’s “big year for games ending in 6” tease stokes hope—a trailer could calm nerves. But with pricing wars, DEI distrust, and Skyrim‘s shadow, TES6 risks alienating its core. Purkeypile sums it: “Marketing departments weep.”
For fans, desperation mounts. Will Tamriel triumph, or become another cautionary tale?
