The Elder Scrolls 6 was first unveiled over five years ago with a 36-second announcement trailer. Unfortunately, there has been a lack of concrete news on the title since then.
With the successful launch of Starfield by Bethesda, the studio’s first new IP in 25 years, it is expected that the focus will now shift to the next installment in the Elder Scrolls series. Building off the success of Skyrim and The Elder Scrolls Online, the hype for The Elder Scrolls 6 is immense.
Although details are scarce, the anticipation for the game has only grown, especially after the success of other fantasy titles like Diablo 4 and Baldur’s Gate 3 this year.
While fans hope for a new trailer soon, it seems that the release of The Elder Scrolls 6 is still several years away. Here’s what we know about the game so far, with regular updates as news emerges.
Release Date Speculation
Despite the eagerness for a release date, there has been no official update on The Elder Scrolls 6 since its announcement. Bethesda has indicated that the game is now in early development, but given the timeline for Starfield, it could be four or five years before the game is launched.
Platforms
Following Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda, there is speculation that The Elder Scrolls 6 could be exclusive to Xbox consoles and PC. However, the exclusivity of the game is still uncertain, and players will have to wait for further announcements.
Trailer
The only trailer available for The Elder Scrolls 6 is the 30-second announcement teaser from E3 2018. Based on the trailer, the setting of the game is speculated to be either High Rock or Hammerfell.
Gameplay
Expect the gameplay of The Elder Scrolls 6 to be similar to previous titles in the series, with a mix of first- and third-person perspectives, a variety of weapons and skills, and a new leveling system. Bethesda may introduce new features to enhance combat and interactions with NPCs.
Multiplayer
While The Elder Scrolls Online offers multiplayer, the mainline series is likely to remain focused on single-player RPG experiences to retain the immersive storytelling and exploration elements.
DLC
As seen in previous Bethesda games, The Elder Scrolls 6 is expected to receive DLC packs with additional content to extend gameplay and offer new adventures. Details about the DLC are currently unknown.
