Elder Scrolls 6: Announcement trailer, potential Xbox exclusivity & everything we know BethesdaFans are still eagerly awaiting information about the forthcoming Elder Scrolls 6 game. While we know the game is in development, Bethesda has remained tightlipped regarding further details. Here\u2019s everything we know so far about our next trip to Tamriel in Elder Scrolls 6. Bethesda\u2019s Elder Scrolls series is up there with the most iconic RPG franchises in history. From its retro roots in Elder Scrolls 1 and 2 to the huge step-up in Morrowind, to the game that truly launched the franchise \u2013 Oblivion. Then there\u2019s the game that took the franchise into the stratosphere; Skyrim. The series has also launched one of the most successful MMOs of all time in The Elder Scrolls Online, but this multiplayer adventure has not slaked fan\u2019s hunger for a new solo main-line Elder Scrolls game. We know that Elder Scrolls 6 is in development, but the game is shrouded in mystery. That being said, there has been some news and updates regarding the adventure, where it will be set, and which platforms it will be coming to \u2013 and when. Contents Announcement trailer – Is there an Elder Scrolls 6 release date yet? – Will The Elder Scrolls 6 be a Microsoft exclusive? – NPCs & Settlements – Elder Scrolls 6 Announcement trailer The official teaser trailer was released for the eventual successor to Skyrim back at E3 2018. It came with the caption: \u201cCurrently in pre-production at Bethesda Game Studios, the acclaimed developers of Skyrim and Fallout 4. The highly-anticipated next chapter in the iconic The Elder Scrolls series.\u201d Visually, this is the only evidence we\u2019ve received from Bethesda about Elder Scrolls 6. The location in the trailer looks a lot like High Rock, a region north of Hammerfell which is where some fans expect the next game to take place. Both High Rock and Hammerfell have been seen in previous Elder Scrolls games, but they\u2019ve never been the star of the show like Morrowind, Cyrodil, and Skyrim have been. Is there an Elder Scrolls 6 release date yet? No, not yet. It\u2019s unlikely that we will see the newest installment any time soon. That is because Bethesda\u2019s other big RPG project Starfield was always going to be first. Now that Starfield is out, however, we may see some movement on the TES6 front. In a recent court document, Microsoft submitted a chart about its approach to acquisitions since 2018, which shows the new Elder Scrolls isn\u2019t expected until \u201c2026 or later.\u201d Will Elder Scrolls 6 be a Microsoft exclusive? Yes, while the news may disappoint those who only own Sony consoles, it has been confirmed that like Starfield, the Elder Scrolls 6 will be a Microsoft exclusive. This means it\u2019s likely to only be released on PC and Xbox consoles. NPCs and Settlements In an interview with IGN, Todd Howard discussed how NPCs in TES6 are being designed to be more detailed and varied. This goes hand-in-hand with Howard saying that settlements and cities will be larger and more expansive. This all seems to point towards a more immersive experience for the RPG. \u201cThe gap in between [Elder Scrolls games] is going to be long, it already is,\u201d Howard said, followed by: \u201cOn one hand, I think it\u2019s good to miss things. I think that makes people come to it with really, really fresh eyes, and I think when they eventually, see the game and what we have in mind, they\u2019ll understand the gap more in terms of technology and what we want it to do.\u201d If you want the latest news on some of gaming\u2019s biggest upcoming releases, then check these out below: Ghostwire Tokyo 2 | Elder Scrolls 6 | Witcher 4 | GTA 6 | Lords of the Fallen | Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage | Alan Wake 2 | Forza Motorsport | Sonic Superstars | Spider-Man 2 | Directive 8020 | Avatar<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
