Summary
Bethesda’s Todd Howard has given a brief update onThe Elder Scrolls 6, the long-awaited follow-up toSkyrimthat fans have been waiting well over a decade for.The Elder Scrolls 6was first announced at E3 2018 with a short teaser trailer that teased a potential Hammerfall setting, showed off the logo, and confirmed virtually nothing else about the game.
Updates onThe Elder Scrolls 6have been few and far between since then. We know thatthe Skyrim Grandma, Shirley Curry, will be an NPC inThe Elder Scrolls 6, and we know that since Microsoft owns Bethesda, the game is most likely going to be a day one release on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Otherwise, there’s really nothing else all that concrete aboutThe Elder Scrolls 6.
While fans are still waiting on a substantial reveal forThe Elder Scrolls 6,Bethesda’s Todd Howardhas reassured them that the project is still on the way. During the reveal ofThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, Howard said, “Obviously we’re working on the sixth chapter here, but what’s great aboutElder Scrollsis being able to look back at all of the chapters.Skyrim,Oblivion,Morrowind,Daggerfall,Arena.Each of them tried to define role-playing games and open world games for their generation.” This seems to suggest that Bethesda’s goal forThe Elder Scrolls 6is to deliver a game that seeks to “define role-playing games and open world games” for its generation.
Now the only question is which generationThe Elder Scrolls 6will be a part of.The Elder Scrolls 6release date predictionssuggest that the highly-anticipated game won’t be out until 2028. Considering this, it’s entirely possible thatThe Elder Scrolls 6will not be released on the current generation of consoles and will instead be aiming for launch on the PlayStation 6 and the next-generation Xbox. This has yet to be confirmed, but fans should brace themselves for the possibility.

Even thoughThe Elder Scrolls 6release date is likely still years away, Bethesda fans should be kept plenty busy in the meantime.The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remasteredjust shadow dropped, and rumor has it thatFallout 3is getting the remaster treatment as well. A second season of theFalloutTV series is in production, and a newStarfieldexpansion is believed to be releasing later this year. Plus,Fallout 76is still receiving substantial new updates.
