Those looking forward to the next Elder Scrolls chapter, we have some good and bad news for you. While The Elder Scrolls VI is indeed in development, it’s quite early on, and it looks like Bethesda won’t be talking about it anytime soon.
Speaking in an interview, Bethesda VP Pete Hines confirmed that The Elder Scrolls VI is in early development, but also mentioned that people shouldn’t expect the studio to talk about it anytime soon (via Google Translate).
Let’s see, over time, but years later. We have put all of our studios focused on making this game the best it can be. And yes, there are people working on The Elder Scrolls VI, but this is what the studio has focused on. So no, at no point early are you going to hear about The Elder Scrolls VI for nothing. Starfield is our focus for now, and it’s going to remain our priority for a while before we talk about anything else.
When asked whether the game is in pre-production or in a concept phase, Hines confirmed that it is in development but in “early” development.
For reference, The Elder Scrolls VI’s existence was announced back in 2018, but Bethesda has shown nothing for it since then, which is understandable given the studio has been busy with a little game called Starfield.
The last thing we heard from The Elder Scrolls VI is that Xbox boss Phil Spencer thinks it’s about five or so more years away from being released, which means it might even not make it out this generation.
Speaking of which, Starfield is set to fly out on Xbox Series X|S and PC, and you can read our review of it here, and why it’s one of this year’s best games.
