Elder Scrolls 6 may not launch until almost 20 years after Skyrim\u2019s release Bethesda SoftworksDuring the FTC hearing, Xbox boss Phil Spencer noted that Elder Scrolls 6 may not launch for another five-plus years. Bethesda Game Studios shipped The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim in 2011 to widespread acclaim. As pundits and fans like to joke, the developer\u2019s launched the game several more times since then. Arguably, Skyrim\u2019s repeated new releases make the wait for The Elder Scrolls 6 that much more difficult to manage for some. And with the studio\u2019s latest project, Starfield, still not in stores, it\u2019s clear the time between Elder Scrolls entries will continue to stack up. Phil Spencer says Elder Scrolls 6\u2019s launch is still years away While giving his testimony during the Microsoft vs. FTC hearings, Head of Xbox Phil Spencer was asked to speak about which platforms Elder Scrolls 6 may release on. Unsurprisingly, the Xbox lead couldn\u2019t offer much in the way of concrete details, especially since the game itself won\u2019t soon see the light of day. Spencer told the court (via Axios report Stephen Totilo), \u201cIt\u2019s so far out, it\u2019s hard to understand what the platforms will even be\u2026 We\u2019re talking about a game that\u2019s five-plus years away.\u201d Totilo noted in a follow-up tweet that Spencer said he wasn\u2019t even sure which Microsoft-branded platform Elder Scrolls 6 will land on. Should Spencer\u2019s estimation prove accurate, this means Elder Scrolls 6 won\u2019t arrive until 17 years after Skyrim\u2019s original rollout on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. It\u2019s such a long time between the two releases, in fact, that long-time Bethesda executive Todd Howard recently said the new Elder Scrolls may mark his final project in the series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
