Creating such a long-lasting game isn’t an easy feat, and probably takes a long time in and of itself to make. To be fair, Howard says they plan to make The Elder Scrolls 6 a game that lasts 10 years. Games industry insider Tyler McVicker even tweeted that he expected it to come as late as 2027. Starfield isn't coming until November of this year. Starting with Starfield means figuring out the engine so that working on The Elder Scrolls 6 is a smoother process than it would’ve been without the extra step.

However, Howard assured fans that work on Starfield also crossed over to Elder Scrolls because of their shared engine, Creation Engine 2.

The Elder Scrolls 6? Not in that way yet.'īethesda has its hands full with Starfield. He also summarized it as: 'Starfield is playable. 'I would say The Elder Scrolls 6 is in pre-production, and Starfield is in production,' Howard said in an interview with Geoff Knightley. Bethesda director Todd Howard said that it’s still in its design phase, which is one of the first phases of game development. The only thing we know is that it’s definitely coming after Starfield. Here’s everything we know about The Elder Scrolls 6. However, fans still can’t help but wonder what the next installment will bring. Skyrim's Anniversary Edition came out in November 2021 and includes a decade worth of content.

Skyrim even expanded to consoles and added to its already expansive world with DLC. Skyrim explored the concept of open-world games before the iconic The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, offered seemingly infinite content, and even spawned a good number of memes. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, usually just shortened to Skyrim, entertained Bethesda fans for years. In fact, there wasn’t even much of an update this past E3, though Starfield got a decent amount of spotlight. However, there hasn’t been much news on the title since then. Naturally, fans celebrated the 2018 announcement trailer that confirmed the game actually existed. The Elder Scrolls 6 might be years in the future, but that doesn't stop people from asking questions.
