Players Are Not Hopeful for Elder Scrolls 6

The Elder Scrolls 6, eagerly awaited by RPG enthusiasts for years, remains, contrary to expectations, nowhere in sight. Recent developments and new information regarding the development process have begun to create disappointment among players. This growing uncertainty has once again brought the highly anticipated title into question.

Is Elder Scrolls 6 Overshadowed by Starfield?

Officially announced in 2018, Elder Scrolls 6 has yet to reach any tangible milestones after seven years. Bethesda Game Studios has focused entirely on Starfield during this time, leading to a prolonged lull for fans of the Elder Scrolls series. While the focus is rumored to shift to Elder Scrolls 6 after 2023, signs are growing that this interest may be limited.

According to a new report, Starfield will be coming to PlayStation 5 in 2026 and will continue to be updated with a second expansion. While the PS5 port requires relatively few resources, the expansion content represents a significant time and effort commitment for the development team. This has sparked concerns that development on Elder Scrolls 6 could once again be stalled.

Fans on the TESVI subforums are already convinced the game won’t be released in 2026. However, now, there’s talk that even a relaunch is unlikely until 2027, as Starfield’s new content has completely shifted the marketing focus to itself. Bethesda’s continued promotion of one game while not highlighting the other suggests that Elder Scrolls 6 could remain dormant for a long time.

While Bethesda has a core team working on Elder Scrolls 6, the resources allocated to Starfield are still shaping the studio’s plans. While such reports remain speculative without an official statement from the developers, fans are now reaching their limit of patience. It may be necessary to wait a little longer to get their hands on the highly anticipated RPG legend.
