Bethesda's Todd Howard has expressed his frustration over the constant inquiries regarding The Elder Scrolls 6.

He reflected on past communication strategies, highlighting the challenge of keeping fans informed while managing their expectations. With The Elder Scrolls 6 first revealed nearly eight years ago, fans remain understandably eager for updates, yet Howard insists that they may not know the release date until the game launches. Meanwhile, he continues to balance updates for Starfield and other projects while reassuring fans that significant efforts are being made on The Elder Scrolls 6.

When will The Elder Scrolls 6 be released?
