Prepare for a thrilling expansion of gameplay! Naval battles are reportedly a major addition, allowing players to craft and customize their ships, echoing the exploration mechanics seen in Starfield. These vessels will unlock access to coastal regions, hidden islands, and even underwater realms. And for longtime fans, rest assured: dragons are returning, continuing the series' iconic legacy.
Expect a vast and detailed world, featuring approximately 12-13 major cities, along with robust systems for constructing and managing settlements and fortifications. Bethesda has also reportedly overhauled its Creation Engine to significantly reduce loading times and enhance overall performance.
Character progression is undergoing a significant simplification, moving away from rigid class structures. The new system prioritizes flexible growth and refined combat mechanics, aligning with Bethesda's aim to provide players with greater freedom and accessibility.
