The Elder Scrolls 6 Report Gives Update on Release Date

A recent report offers an update on the release of The Elder Scrolls 6, the sequel to Skyrim, and it’s not what eager players want to hear. Bethesda Game Studios has been working on TES6 for over two years, ever since releasing Starfield in 2023. Creating large, open-world role-playing games with complex features takes significant time and resources, even with a large team and generous budget. As a result, the game is still likely several years away from release.

Okay, so I just saw a new video from Reece Reilly, a YouTuber who usually gets pretty reliable info about games, and he says Bethesda and Xbox are aiming to release the next big RPG – the one that follows Oblivion and Skyrim – around 2028! But that’s not all he said… there’s more to the story.

The Elder Scrolls 6 Delayed?

Bethesda’s Todd Reilly has indicated that The Elder Scrolls 6 is currently slated for release in 2028, but 2029 is also a likely possibility. Considering the new PlayStation 6 and Xbox are expected to launch in 2028, the game will probably be playable on both current and next-generation consoles. While a next-gen only release isn’t impossible, the current timeframe makes that scenario less probable.

According to an insider, don’t expect Elder Scrolls 6 until at least 2028, with 2029 being a more likely release year. They’re hesitant to give even a tentative date because announcing the game too early could backfire. The insider believes the game risks a similar reception to Metroid Prime 4 – it will likely sell well, but might not receive high praise from critics and could be a divisive title.

Keep in mind that this information isn’t official and could change. Game development is a fluid process, and delays are typical for large projects like this, so don’t treat this as a definitive statement.
