In a recent interview, Bethesda's Todd Howard revealed that The Elder Scrolls 6 remains in early development and is "still a long way off," despite its announcement over seven years ago. Although early builds are being tested, Howard encouraged fans to practice patience, noting the significance of delivering a fresh experience with each new installment. He hinted at the possibility of a surprise release similar to the recent remaster of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, stating that the next entry should ideally feel distinct and not just a sequel. Currently, many resources are dedicated to other Bethesda projects, including Fallout.

When will The Elder Scrolls 6 be released?

While an exact release date has not been provided, it is expected that The Elder Scrolls 6 will launch on next-gen consoles and PC, potentially after 2026.

The Elder Scrolls series, beloved for its expansive worlds and immersive storytelling, has been a cornerstone of fantasy RPGs since its inception. The last major entry, Skyrim, debuted in 2011 and received numerous accolades, becoming iconic in the gaming community. With the anticipation for the next installment, many fans are eager to see how Bethesda will innovate the series while retaining the original's charm.
