The Elder Scrolls VI is one of the most heavily-anticipated games of the decade, yet there’s still no word on when it\s coming out.
Bethesda announced and teased The Elder Scrolls VI back in 2018 at E3 (what a callback) and while it generated an absurd amount of hype at the time fans now believe it was a mistake announcing it so soon.

But now after so many years of waiting Bethesda is finally putting all of its time into the game’s development, so hopefully it’ll be with us sooner rather than later.
Fans have been discussing when the game might drop for a while now, with the most common dates being sometime in 2026 or 2028.
One Reddit post is a good example of this, as it questioned when we’ll see an actual trailer for the game if it’s due to launch in 2026.
“Bethesda don't usually show in-game footage until they've got at least a rough release date and that means within about a year. They might do another teaser and confirm the name, maybe?” said one fan in response.
One fan suggested the game will launch in 2028, because “that’s when the next console generation is anticipated to arrive and having that, another COD game and maybe a Halo Game??? Would help Xbox have a much stronger standing to kick off in comparison to the Series X|S’ launch having no first party titles.”
This would make sense, though recent news suggests Xbox is moving away from first-party titles and exclusives rather than towards them.
That said Elder Scrolls VI being available on Xbox Game Pass from day one would be a big win for the console.
We still have no confirmation on when The Elder Scrolls VI is coming out, and judging by Bethesda’s radio-silence on the matter we’re not getting an update before the end of the year either.
