The recent Xbox layoffs are shaking things up at Bethesda, and it might not be good news for fans of their epic games. With over 50 employees let go, including some key players, there are fears that The Elder Scrolls 6 could face delays and development crunch. This has hit morale hard, with employees worried about the future of the beloved series.
In response to the cuts, Bethesda’s offices have seen makeshift memorials pop up, honoring those who’ve been let go. Meanwhile, the gaming community is speaking out, with the Bethesda Games Studio Union highlighting concerns on Xbox’s feedback platform. This has climbed the charts with thousands of upvotes, showing just how invested fans are in the fate of their favorite titles.
These layoffs are part of a broader shake-up at Xbox, which is losing about a fifth of its staff. The new strategy focuses on major franchises like Halo and Fallout, but it leaves some, like Starfield, uncertain. As Bethesda adapts to these changes, players should keep an eye on how this could impact their favorite games.
