Just a trailer? 2026. Just a trailer though, still years away at that point.

Yeah and 6 years since the Calamity of 76.

There’s a legitimate chance that this game won’t come out until 2029 or later, which would make it over 10 year from announcement to release.

Six years later and I’m still disappointed that it’s Hammerfell. Having three games in a row take place in human provinces is so boring, especially because they could’ve had it take place somewhere in the Aldmeri Dominion instead, which would’ve been a great follow-up to Skyrim.

What a fucking joke.

Starfield came out last year, so probably a couple years at least.
You have to remember: the purpose wasn’t to announce ES6, it was to give assurance that they were:
A) Still making single player RPGs
B) Still making Elder Scrolls games

They knew fallout 76 was going to be a bomb so they had to reveal this at the same time to try and save face, but the fact its probably going to have been a full fucking decade from announcement to release, its safe to say the hype is pretty much dead all around.
Specialist_Nobody766
I honestly don’t believe they are working on it, it would be bad business since they are still making money of Skyrim and elder scrolls Online.

Gonna be a few years, they need to make a show for it first to build hype now!! (Hopefully /s…)

Fucking clowns.

This was easy to see ever since they released Elder Scrolls Online. It was meant to hold die hards over with a game that could go on in perpetuity since they knew the development cycle was going to be so long before they completed the next Elder Scrolls game. Same thing with Fallout 76, yet people are still surprised it’s been so long and no Fallout 5. They’ve known for many years neither of those games were going to happen for over a decade since their last iteration.

Could be worse
Could be coming out this year and look like Veilguard 😐
If your grimdark fantasy game – well known for it’s character depth and adult themes – looks like an intro to a buddy cop film crossed with the jackass series… … … … …

At this point I’m just hoping I can play it before I die.

This game is going to feel so old by the time it comes out
HiBoobear
PS7 launch title

6 years since Metroid Prime 4 reveal as well.
5 since Silksong.
Which one will release first is a big question.

At this point there’s not really a lot of reasons to be hyped for this game. It’s likely that a vast majority of the devs responsible for making Skyrim so enjoyable are no longer with the company.
It’ll come out sometime around 2027-29 and it’ll be just kinda alright, pretty good at best. I wouldn’t expect anything groundbreaking.

A true AAAA game

And I just know that it will come out and still be dissapointing and half baked despite the development time. Bethesda have done the same thing for 20 years now and the only thing that changes is that development periods grow longer each time.

I rarely blame the community but it was their fault. During this time, there was a large amount of people complaining that Bethesda was being radio silent about the Elder Scrolls franchise. Anyone who knows the company knows that they prefer to work on their games in silence and then announce the game the year it is coming out. But they bent to the pressure and released a meaningless teaser to quiet down the rumor mill.
It was obvious to me even back in 2018 that because they were working on Starfield, that we wouldn’t see ES6 ganeplay until at least 2025 in a dream, best case scenario.

They likely or will try to debut Elder Scrolls 6 as an exclusive on their next gen console system and then begins work on Fallout 5. Two Bethesda games I’m really excited for on PC.
Zero_Griever
Well it’s not like they’re updating their game engine after seeing Starfield.
Bet on interacting with cups, plates, and outdated concepts around inventory.
Same NPCs, same weapons, same lands… fweee!
ED_The_Game_Enjoyer
Still on the same engine 💀

You know Skyrim came out in 2011 and they haven’t made a competent game since. I really don’t think its wise to wait or expect anything good anymore. If it happens to be decent, thats great but what a small chance.
realTIAN
If it is like Starfield, I’m honestly concerned.
Dizman7
Ok, games take time to make, especially how complex today’s games are.
Wilburkook
Take note Xbots. That showcase you guys are hailing as the next coming of video games. Not 1 single release date for any 1st party games… Same ol story with Xbox. We’ll just keep waiting for anything interesting to release.
