The Elder Scrolls 6, the highly-anticipated squeal toSkyrim, has been a proverbial white whale for RPG fans since Bethesda first announced it back in 2018. While that reveal should’ve excited players thatThe Elder Scrolls 6was coming soon, five years have passed with barely any new information.
The Elder Scrolls6’s development has been continuously brought into question. While it’s confirmed that the game has entered into active development, it’s been a major source of controversy. However, Bethesda’s Todd Howard and his team clearly know about the game’s development issues and want to fix them with a solution that worked incredibly well for Larian’sBaldur’s Gate 3.
Bethesda Looks To Be FollowingBaldur’s Gate 3‘s Solution For DevelopingThe Elder Scrolls 6
There’s no doubt thatBaldur’s Gate 3‘s incredible success comes from it’s plotline, popular characters, and immersive gameplay, which managed to give justice to the Dungeons and Dragons experience. It took a whopping nine years for the game to develop, which allowed Larian to do extensive playtesting and finetuning of the game.
Larian’s decision to ignore time constraints and craft the perfect game delivered results. Now, Bethesda wants to approach the upcomingTheElder Scrolls 6in a similar fashion.

Kinda Funny Gamesgot a chance to sit down with Todd Howard and talk about Bethesda’s future projects. While acknowledging the fact that Bethesda hasn’t produced a lot of games in the last couple of years, Howard states that it’s all due to the fact that they’re focused on delivering high-quality games that can be enjoyed for years to come.
And they do take a long time, and so I think one of the things that we’re focused on here is obviously making sure they’re of the highest quality, but also finding ways to increase our output, because we don’t want to wait that long either. That’s never our plan, but we want to make sure we get it right.
It’s clear that Howard doesn’t want a repeat ofFallout 76andtheStarfieldtragedy. Both of these games were Bethesda’s last major launches and proved to be a major disappointment among the gaming community.
Howard and his team have definitely learned from the success ofBaldur’s Gate 3and want to follow a similar model forThe Elder Scrolls 6andFallout 5.Skyrimwas a massive hit for theElder Scrollsfranchise, and there’s no way Bethesda wouldn’t deliver a worthy sequel to the title.
When isThe Elder Scrolls 6Coming Out?
Bethesda shared a teaser for the next chapter in theElder Scrollsfranchise in 2018, with a brief announcement video that gave us basically nothing but the official confirmation that the game is coming. Well, six years later, fans are still in the dark about when the Skyrim sequel will be released.
Unfortunately, it’s going to be a long while before we get our hands onThe Elder Scrolls 6.The game is expected to be released in 2026 or later, as confirmed byBethesda and Microsoft after their trial last year.

However, it’s crucial to keep in mind that Starfield was only released in 2023, and Bethesda has already confirmed that they’re focusing on the space RPG for a while. The game is all set to receive multiple expansions,one of them which is coming later this year.
Therefore, we can’t expect to see The Elder Scrolls 6 released until 2027 or 2028. After all, Bethesda isn’t known for quickly developing games.
