When Bethesda introduced the sixth installment in The Elder Scrolls 5 years in the past (sure, 5 years in the past), the corporate stated it was within the pre-production stage. Quick ahead to right now, the sport has much more folks engaged on it.


Are you able to consider this teaser for The Elder Scrolls 6 was launched 5 years in the past?

That is in accordance with Bethesda vice-president Pete Hines. Talking with Spanish web site Vandal (thanks, Resetera), Hines stated that whereas the sport is certainly in early improvement, it will likely be some time but earlier than Bethesda is able to focus on the RPG.

“Sure, there are folks engaged on The Elder Scrolls 6, however [Starfield] is what the studio has centered on. So no, at no level early are you going to listen to about The Elder Scrolls 6 for nothing. Starfield is our focus for now, and it is going to stay our precedence for some time earlier than we speak about the rest.”

Whereas all of us knew that has been the case for some time, it is nonetheless good to know The Elder Scrolls 6 has moved past the design stage and is now in improvement. And, we have recognized for ages that it's a methods off as properly as a result of Bethesdas beforehand said that work would not absolutely begin on the sport till Starfield was out the door.

Again in October 2018, it was stated there might even be a brand new console technology earlier than the sport comes out. PS5 and Xbox Sequence X/S had been on the horizon on the time.

Briefly, it is going to be a protracted wait, and since many of the girls in my household begin going grey of their early 20s (rattling genes), I will be full-blown silver-headed when it releases. However that is okay. Simply give me an incredible Elder Scrolls expertise, please. I can at all times shade my hair.
