We're still a long way from the release of The Elder Scrolls VI, but two of the lead developers behind The Elder Scrolls series have unveiled a new open-world RPG that could scratch that itch nicely – The Wayward Realms, which brings back the massive procedural worlds of Arena and Daggerfall.
It's been a long time since we've heard anything from OnceLost Games, which announced a "spiritual successor" to The Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall way back in 2019. The studio's led by several key developers behind the Elder Scrolls series – Julian LeFay, Ted Peterson, and Vijay Lakshman.
All of them worked on programming and design for many of Bethesda’s earliest games, including several Elder Scrolls titles and The Terminator: Future Shock. Julian LeFay served as project leader on Daggerfall, and Vijay Lakshman was Arena’s lead designer and producer.
