BioWare Veteran Joins Bethesda, and It Could Be Great News For The Elder Scrolls 6

It’s potentially exciting news for “The Elder Scrolls 6” as John Dombrow, an experienced game designer from BioWare, has joined Bethesda Game Studios in a senior role focusing on quest design. This shift might lead to Dombrow contributing his skills to “The Elder Scrolls 6,” having previously served as a senior writer for Sucker Punch Productions’ upcoming game, “Ghost of Yotei.

Throughout a career spanning over twelve years at BioWare, Dombrow played significant roles in numerous standout segments. As a Senior Writer for Mass Effect 3, he contributed to the renowned Priority: Tuchanka mission and developed the characters Garrus and Javik. He also served as Co-Lead Writer for the Citadel DLC of the game and later moved on to become Co-Lead Writer for Mass Effect: Andromeda. More recently, his work saw him take up the position of Senior Narrative Designer on Dragon Age Veilguard. Additionally, he has worked on Telltale’s Game of Thrones and Sucker Punch Productions’ Ghost of Yotei, adding these projects to an impressive portfolio.

BioWare Veteran John Dombrow Joins Bethesda as Senior Quest Designer

According to TheGamer’s recent reports, it has been confirmed that Dombrow has taken up the position of Senior Quest Designer at Bethesda Game Studios, effective August 2025. This information was discovered on Dombrow’s LinkedIn profile by an observant Redditor named Aggressive_Rope_4201. Given that the development of The Elder Scrolls 6 is currently underway at Bethesda, it’s likely that Dombrow will play a significant role in designing its quests. His extensive background working on popular franchises such as Mass Effect and Dragon Age will undoubtedly be an asset.

More contemporary Bethesda creations like Fallout 4 and Starfield have faced criticism from players regarding their writing and quest design compared to older titles such as Oblivion and Skyrim. Some argue that the quality is not as high, yet Bethesda has traditionally shown strength in these areas. Despite the Senior Quest Designer title indicating Dombrow won’t write future games directly, his experience could still prove valuable in enhancing both writing and quest design.

I’ve been eagerly waiting for nearly a decade now, ever since Bethesda first teased us with The Elder Scrolls 6 back in the day. However, it seems like the team has been tight-lipped about the project all these years. Truth be told, we still don’t know where this epic adventure will take us, though whispers suggest that they’ve been hard at work behind the scenes. Here’s hoping they decide to share some details soon about this highly anticipated sequel!
