The Elder Scrolls 6 release date revealed

In an interview with IGN, Todd Howard, director and executive producer of Bethesda Game Studios, said that "there will be about 15 years between the release of the previous and new Elder Scrolls games." The problem is that at the moment Bethesda is completely focused on Starfield . The last game in the TES series, Skyrim , came out in 2011, and based on new information, TES6 should not be expected until 2026 at the earliest.

Todd also emphasized that "people can figure out the release date for themselves, based on what schedule other games come out on." Earlier in an interview, he said that it takes about 4-5 years for Bethesda to create one game. Starfield is scheduled for release in November 2022. It turns out that according to these calculations, The Elder Scrolls 6 should appear somewhere in 2026-2027.

The phenomenal success of Skyrim and its re-releases indicates that interest in The Elder Scrolls is still high. Todd admits that the current gap between games in the series is too big. But if the company immediately moved on to creating the next TES, then it would not be able to make Starfield.
