While we haven’t seen any gameplay for The Elder Scrolls 6, we imagine it’s going to be reminiscent of the previous first/third-person action role-playing games.

Jeff Grubb (opens in new tab) also claims that Elder Scrolls 6 is planned as an Xbox exclusive. And thus, Elder Scrolls 6 could be looking like a 2025 release. Industry insider Jeff Grubb (opens in new tab) states that Fable will launch in 2023, so that means that The Elder Scrolls 6 could launch in 2024, but Fable could also get pushed back to 2024. "We'll decide what makes the best sense for our audience when the time comes, and I can't really project today what that looks like," Howard said.Īccording to insider Tyler McVicker (opens in new tab), it's entirely possible that The Elder Scrolls 6 won't launch until 2026 to 2027, which is a long way away.Īccording to Phil Spencer, Fable will launch before The Elder Scrolls 6 does. Todd Howard did say in an interview with (opens in new tab) that The Elder Scrolls 6 being an Xbox exclusive is "hard to imagine." However, the latest biggest bombshell was Microsoft buying Bethesda, so that may or may not affect the release date of The Elder Scrolls 6. Since the Summer has come and gone, it's more than likely we won't hear about The Elder Scrolls 6 until Bethesda's next event in 2021.
THE ELDER SCROLLS 6 TAMRIEL SERIES
It’s likely to hit PC, but will it land on the Xbox Series X and PS5, or will it overshoot their life cycles entirely? Anything is possible given how little we know about this game. We don’t even know what consoles it’s going to land on. We imagine that the earliest we’ll see it is in 2024, considering Bethesda has to get through an entire sci-fi RPG first, and we all know how long that’s liable to take (hint: a very long time). Overall, we’re not expecting The Elder Scrolls 6 to show up for at least a few years. The Elder Scrolls 6 is currently in development.Director and executive producer of Bethesda Game Studios, Todd Howard, actually told IGN at E3 2019 that “everyone should be very patient,” and just before nonexistent E3 2020, Peter Hines, SVP of global marketing at Bethesda, tweeted: "If you’re coming at me for details now and not years from now, I’m failing to properly manage your expectations.”

The Elder Scrolls 6's setting could be anywhere in Tamriel, but if it's going to create a world worth exploring again, it needs to leave the continent behind. Leaving Tamriel would open up a literal world of possibilities, injecting new life into the series' setting by allowing it to explore totally new kingdoms, races, and conflicts. The lore between Oblivion and Skyrim certainly suggests that the Empire's days are numbered, especially with the Emperor's assassination by the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim. If the game is set far enough in the future, players might even arrive in a corner of one of these continents where the familiar races of Tamriel have already etched out a living and begun to build their own towns and cities. They might be fleeing the Aldmeri Dominion. This island continent is described as a playground for water spirits, but little else is known about it.Īn Elder Scrolls game set after the events of Skyrim could see a group of refugees arrive in any one of these places. Finally, there's Pyandonea, the home of the Sea Elves. Atmora is said to be where the Nords originated, though it is also said to be extremely cold and may be too similar to Skyrim. Aldmeris is the continent that the High Elves claim Elves and humans both came from. There are other unexplored locations in Nirn which could feature in the next game. However Bethesda pulls it off, the continent has been the subject of little enough elaboration to allow for its easy reintroduction into the world. It seems possible that the Sinistral Elves could have driven the Redguards out before hiding their land with magic. Some sources suggest that the Redguards destroyed the continent to travel west, but the lack of elaboration seems suspicious. Its destruction, however, has never been completely confirmed. In 1E 792, a disaster took place which is believed to have destroyed the continent. The continent also had its own unique pantheon of gods. The Elder Scrolls 6 could also take players west to the lost continent of Yokuda, which was originally the home of the Redguard race, who lived there in perpetual war with the Sinistral Elves.
