The Elder Scrolls 6: Continuing Skyrim's Levelling System and Magic Traces

Former Bethesda design director, Bruce Nesmith, believes that The Elder Scrolls 6 will retain Skyrim's levelling up and progression system. Nesmith, who worked on Skyrim and Starfield, stated that while he can't guarantee these inclusions himself, he believes that the sequel will continue the system. Skyrim's progression system allows players to level up specific skills by using related items and abilities, contributing to an overall experience bar. The highly anticipated game is not expected to release until at least 2028 due to Bethesda's focus on Starfield.
