Todd Howard on Elder Scrolls TV Show?! You Won't Believe His AI Take!
Gaming News 30 December 2025

Todd Howard, the name synonymous with sprawling open-world adventures from Bethesda, recently sat down for an interview that's got the gaming world buzzing. Fresh off the explosive success of the *Fallout* TV series, everyone's naturally wondering if *The Elder Scrolls* is next in line for the adaptation treatment. And, of course, Howard didn't shy away from the question. He's a smart guy; he knows what we want to know!

Todd Howard on Elder Scrolls TV Show?! You Won't B...

While he didn't exactly greenlight a *Skyrim* series on Netflix right then and there, he didn't dismiss the idea entirely either. It sounds like they're exploring possibilities, but the bar is set incredibly high after *Fallout*. You can almost hear the gears turning in his head, thinking about how to capture the magic of Tamriel without losing what made the games so special. Personally, I think it’s a tough challenge. *Fallout*'s inherent zaniness translates well to the screen, but *Elder Scrolls*' high fantasy might be a trickier beast. We'll see!

Beyond the tantalizing prospect of an *Elder Scrolls* TV show, Howard also addressed the fan-made *Fallout: London* mod. Anyone who’s seen it knows it's an absolutely stunning piece of work, basically a whole new game built within the *Fallout 4* engine. He expressed genuine admiration for the team's dedication and craftsmanship, which is fantastic to hear. Fan creations like *Fallout: London* are proof of the passion this community has, and it's great when the developers acknowledge it.

The interview also touched on a more somber note, with Howard sharing his memories of Matthew Perry's love for the *Fallout* franchise. It’s a poignant reminder that these games resonate with people from all walks of life, and Perry's enthusiasm, according to Howard, was infectious. A nice personal touch to the conversation, and a reminder of the impact these games have on us all.

And because it wouldn't be a proper Todd Howard interview without a little bit of future-gazing, he even revealed his favorite game of 2025! Now, I'm not going to spoil that here – you'll have to watch the full interview on Eurogamer's YouTube channel for that juicy nugget. But let's just say it hints at where he sees the gaming landscape heading. He also offered some insights into *Fallout* season 2 and, unsurprisingly, danced around specifics like a pro. All in all, a fascinating interview that offers a glimpse behind the curtain of one of gaming's most influential figures.
