War never dies, neither do adaptations
Fallout fans will have long fantasized about a film adaptation that Bethesda finally provided them very recently, in collaboration with Amazon: we were not treated to a film, but rather a live-action series whose feedback is also rave. Some simply call it the best adaptation of a video game ever made, while the general public also seems fond of this Prime Video project which is currently at the top of the most watched programs.
A flamboyant success which only brings good things to Bethesda: not only did their brand image and the reputation of Fallout improve considerably, but the effects on the series' video games were felt immediately with an impressive resurgence of audience, interest and therefore sales. And then, a season 2 should arriveon top of that.
Brief, it's hard not to hope for an adaptation like this for The Elder Scrolls, after all THE favorite license of the American firm. But you know what they say: before time is not time.
Todd Howard, Bethesda's historic producer at the helm of many of its successes, is also a producer on the Fallout series: it was during the premiere of this series, organized during a prestigious evening in Los Angeles, that the developer was rightly questioned about the existence of a The Elder Scrolls series by IGN. And the answer is… negative.
There is nothing in preparation. Everyone asks me about The Elder Scrolls and I keep saying no too. If I had to address these questions, I would probably say “no”.
However, it's about not losing hope.''' Todd Howard thus returned to the creation of the Fallout series, which was obviously a question of coincidence and even evidence.
I think it really comes from a mindset of “things are currently aligned to do high-quality work.” It was sort of natural, like “hey, this could really be cool” and not “we HAVE to have a show”, you know?
Remember, patience is the mother of all virtues and after all, you should never say never… even if it’s not yet on the agenda. A priori.
