Todd Howard hints at Elder Scrolls 6 release window and it\u2019s not good news Bethesda SoftworksIn an interview ahead of Starfield\u2019s release, Todd Howard gave fans a disappointing update on when they can expect The Elder Scrolls 6. Few games are as highly anticipated as The Elder Scrolls 6. It\u2019s been over a decade since the release of Skyrim, and fans have been waiting for its successor ever since. While the game was announced in 2018, there have been very few updates on its progress. Todd Howard has shed some light on the game\u2019s development and when players can expect to get their hands on it \u2013 but the news is sure to disappoint fans. Elder Scrolls 6 likely won\u2019t release until at least 2028 In an interview with GQ\u2018s Sam White promoting Starfield ahead of its September launch, Todd Howard was asked about The Elder Scrolls 6. As the interview notes, the game likely won\u2019t be finished until \u201cprobably 2028,\u201d though he also says \u201cit\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess.\u201d When talking about Howard\u2019s thoughts on retirement and succession plans, White mentions \u201c[Howard] will likely be 60 years old by the time The Elder Scrolls VI comes out,\u201d an age he will be in 2030. This is certainly not the news fans were hoping for, particularly from a game that was announced the same day as Starfield. At the time, The Elder Scrolls 6\u2019s teaser was exciting, but five years later, it\u2019s largely viewed as a mistake. When asked if he regrets the decision to announce the game possibly a decade ahead of launch, Howard said \u201cI have asked myself that a lot\u2026I don\u2019t know. I probably would\u2019ve announced it more casually.\u201d In a more positive development, Howard also teased what the team wants to accomplish with The Elder Scrolls 6. \u201cI will say that we want it to fill that role of the ultimate fantasy-world simulator. And there are different ways to accomplish that given the time that has passed.\u201d What that will look like remains to be seen. Bethesda is obviously focused on Starfield at the moment, and given the current 2028 release window, it\u2019ll be a while until we learn anything substantial. Perhaps the only solace Elder Scrolls fans can take is that they won\u2019t have to wait as long as Fallout fans, as Fallout 5 won\u2019t release until after The Elder Scrolls 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
