00:00What's up everybody, Damian here in today's gaming news.

00:02I hope no one is holding their breath for Elder Scrolls 6.

00:05Miyamoto discusses stepping back from Mario and Predator Badlands is off to a good start.

00:10This is your daily fix.

00:21The Elder Scrolls 6, one of the most hotly anticipated video games in the world,

00:25won't be out for some time yet despite being announced over seven years ago.

00:29In an interview with GQ Magazine to celebrate the release of Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition,

00:33Bethesda's Todd Howard said the Elder Scrolls 6 is still a long way off.

00:37He added,

00:41Skyrim was released on November 11th, 2011, and the Elder Scrolls 6 was revealed on June 10th, 2018.

00:47It is now seven years and five months after the announcement and we're no closer, it seems, to the release of the game.

00:52When the six year anniversary of the Elder Scrolls 6 announcement arrived in June last year,

00:56even Todd Howard paused to say, oh wow, that has been a while.

00:59The Elder Scrolls 6 is at least in production,

01:01with Bethesda confirming it had entered early development in August 2023,

01:05and early builds were available in March 2024.

01:07Now, in the GQ article, Howard has once again admitted that it's taken too long to get the Elder Scrolls 6 out the door,

01:13but did tease an Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion remastered style shadow drop without confirming anything.

01:18He said,

01:19I do like to have a break between them, where it isn't like a plus one sequel.

01:22I think it's also good for an audience to have a break.

01:24The Elder Scrolls 6 has been too long, let's be clear.

01:27But we wanted to do something new with Starfield.

01:29We needed a creative reset.

01:31Bethesda is currently play testing the Elder Scrolls 6, Howard revealed.

01:34So when will it actually come out?

01:36It seems likely at this point that it will be released for next gen consoles and PC.

01:40I like to just announce stuff and release it, Howard continued.

01:43My perfect version, and I'm not saying this is going to happen,

01:45is that it's going to be a while and then one day the game will just appear.

01:49The Oblivion remastered shadow drop was a test run, Howard teased.

01:52It worked out well.

01:53Meanwhile, the Fallout 4 anniversary edition just went live today.

01:57Moving on, Super Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto has discussed how his role has changed

02:01after stepping back from leading development on Nintendo's most famous video game series.

02:05In a new interview, Miyamoto revealed he had now entrusted most of the work on new Mario games to others,

02:09though said he still played through the first half hour of new projects himself

02:13to ensure it felt like Mario to him.

02:15Speaking in celebration of Super Mario World's 40th anniversary,

02:18the veteran designer, now 72, also said he hoped to stay healthy until Mario's 50th anniversary in a decade's time.

02:24Miyamoto told Japanese magazine Casa Brutus,

02:27Nowadays, I have teammates who help maintain the world of Mario, so I entrust much of it to them.

02:32Even so, I always personally play through about the first 30 minutes of the game

02:35and check the interface thoroughly to make sure it really feels like Mario.

02:38Recent years have seen other Nintendo faces appear more prominently during Nintendo Direct broadcasts,

02:42with Miyamoto often only appearing to introduce new Nintendo concepts,

02:45such as the company's expansion into theme parks and movies.

02:48And while Miyamoto did appear during the Super Mario 40th anniversary segment in the most recent Nintendo Direct,

02:53he also handed over to long-term Mario designer and director Yoshiaki Koizumi,

02:57who fans believe is likely deep in development of a new 3D Mario game.

03:00Miyamoto continued, discussing his current work,

03:02with the help of many passionate people outside our company,

03:05Mario has expanded into theme parks and movies,

03:07and I'm really looking forward to how things will develop from here.

03:10Up through Super Mario Odyssey, I feel we've done just about everything we could on the Switch.

03:14In the past, whenever a new console came out, we always released a new Mario game,

03:17so I do wonder how the current team will take on that challenge.

03:20But maybe I'll say, I won't look anymore.

03:23I just hope to stay healthy until Mario's 50th anniversary.

03:26We hope so too, Miyamoto-san.

03:28And finally today, Predator Badlands looks like a hit,

03:30after it secured the biggest global opening ever for a Predator movie at the box office,

03:34including the Alien vs. Predator film.

03:36Dan Trachtenberg, who revitalized Predator with 2022's Back to Basics Prey,

03:40and this year's animated anthology Killer of Killers,

03:42has continued his hot streak with the PG-13 Predator Badlands.

03:45It has enjoyed strong reviews from critics, and we gave it an 8 out of 10.

03:49Disney said Predator Badlands opened to $40 million domestically and $40 million internationally,

03:54for a global opening weekend total of $80 million.

03:56That's the biggest debut for a Predator movie ever.

03:58For context, 2018's The Predator opened to $73.5 million.

04:02Predator began with 1997's much-loved Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle.

04:06Badlands is a very different film, less sci-fi horror, more mainstream sci-fi action.

04:10For the first time ever, the Predator is the protagonist, with a yaucha called Deck,

04:14out to prove himself to his father by killing a monster on a death planet.

04:17Along the way, he meets a Weyland-Yutani synth called Thea, played by L. Fanning in an Alien and Predator crossover.

04:23It's a big swing for Predator and for Dan Trachtenberg,

04:25but he was uninterested in essentially remaking prior Predator movies for this new sequel.

04:30In a recent interview with IGN, Trachtenberg said he was inspired by Terminator 2 when it came to making Badlands.

04:35Terminator 2 Judgment Day was like a movie my mom could watch, he said.

04:38So that was a part of it for me, like how to make something that was bold and visceral, but also emotional.

04:43I liked Predator Badlands a lot. I'm glad to see it's off to a good start.

04:48And that's your daily fix for Monday, November 10th.
