The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced in abrief teaser trailer during E3 2018and no release date was mentioned.

Since then, the only thing we’ve heard is thatit will follow Starfield, Bethesda’s space-faring RPG.

Starfieldisn’t due to be released until 2023, though that’s always subject to change.

This means that we likely won’t see The Elder Scrolls 6 for quite some time yet.

There’s a sweeping camera shot over what is, presumably, the setting for Elder Scrolls 6.

Has any gameplay been released?

In terms of Elder Scrolls 6 gameplay, we currently have absolutely nothing to go on.

Until gameplay is released, we’ll have to keep guessing.

This mechanic would be great, allowing you to build your own keeps and strongholds across Tamriel.

Refined combat would also be a welcomed change.

For now, we’ll just have to dream.

In the sections below you’ll find updated news snippets as well as rumours and fan speculation.

As more comes to light we’ll add more, so be sure to keep this page bookmarked.

Is it exclusive to Xbox?

In case you hadn’t heard, Microsoft purchased Bethesda back in September 2020.

This begs the question as to whether TES VI will come to PlayStation and PC.

Let’s take them one at a time.

We’ll have to wait and see.

In terms of PC, things may be much simpler.

Generally, Xbox publishes all of its first-party offerings on PC as well as Xbox consoles.

This is very unlikely to change in the future, given the company’s push towards ‘Play Anywhere’.

We’re betting it’ll come to PC.

It’s clear that the region shown is mountainous, with an ocean stretching out to the right.

There is a large crater and the landscape is fairly barren.

Our money is on Greenheart/Woodhearth in Valenwood, though areas in the Black Marsh and Elsweyr could also work.

There was a petition and after hitting over 50,000 signatures, the developers have obliged.

We don’t yet know where to find Skyrim Grandma, but we’ll keep you posted.

This hinted towards a production in its early stages, which should in theory rule out Starfield.

This gives some idea of how long we’ll have to wait for the game to be released.

What this means for the new TES game we’re not yet sure.

At Bethesda’sPAX East 2019 panelTodd Howard explained that the team was working on both upcoming games simultaneously.

As of June 2022, the game is still in pre-production.

Will it be on next-gen consoles?

Now that the next-gen consoles are here, will we see Elder Scrolls 6 on next-gen?

The answer is yes, at least on the Xbox side of things.

TES 6 will come to next-gen in some form, at least.

That’s everything we know so far about The Elder Scrolls 6.

While it is likely a ways off, hopefully we will hear more information soon.

We’ll be updating this page if we hear anything, so be sure to check back in.
