The anticipation for Bethesda’s upcoming Elder Scrolls 6 is becoming increasingly aggravating, as we have been waiting since the game was first hinted at in 2018. Despite our initial expectations that it would be released soon, six years have passed, and there’s no clear release date yet.
The excitement surrounding Elder Scrolls 6 isn’t unexpected given that its predecessor, Skyrim, is widely considered one of the greatest games ever produced. Players can’t help but ponder when Bethesda will announce a release date for it, yet there’s no denying that it will likely follow in the footsteps of the curse that afflicted Daggerfall and Skyrim – a prolonged development period.
Elder Scrolls 6‘s horrendous development cycle
You may be curious as to why the release of Elder Scrolls 6 has been delayed since it was teased in 2018. During this time, Bethesda was focusing on Starfield, a space RPG that was intended to be Howard’s masterpiece, but unfortunately did not meet expectations.
According to Bethesda, the project for “The Elder Scrolls 6” was in its initial stages as of August 2023. Following the launch of Starfield and its additional content, the entire team has shifted their attention towards the next Elder Scrolls title. Given Bethesda’s historical development timeline, it’s reasonable to expect that “The Elder Scrolls 6” likely won’t be released before 2026 or 2027.
If Elder Scrolls VI is released in 2026, The gap between TES5 and TES6 will be as big as the gap between Daggerfall and Skyrim

Surprisingly, fans have noted that if Elder Scrolls 6 is released in 2026, it will mean a 15-year span since Skyrim was launched. Interestingly, this time gap mirrors the one between Daggerfall’s release in 1996 and Skyrim in 2011. It seems Bethesda has taken just as long to create Elder Scrolls 6 as it did to advance the franchise from the era of Daggerfall to Skyrim.
Reflecting on the past era of gaming, it’s intriguing to remember how we’d often receive entire trilogies of games in a relatively brief period. In contrast, nowadays, we find ourselves waiting over a decade for just one game to hit the shelves. This isn’t exclusive to anticipated titles like “Elder Scrolls 6“, even giants such as “Grand Theft Auto” have seen a slowdown in release frequency. This pattern is concerning and seems likely to persist, potentially worsening over time.
Skyrim developer believes Elder Scrolls 6 won’t stop Bethesda hate
At the Game Developers Conference, Nathan Purkeypile – a seasoned developer from Bethesda – shared insights into his journey creating role-playing games, which includes renowned titles like Skyrim, as reported by GamesRadar.
Apart from sharing his professional journey, Purkeypile disclosed the harsh online critiques he encountered throughout his career. He pondered upon the rocky debut of ‘Fallout 76’ and admitted that while the game had its imperfections, some players excessively criticized, even going so far as to bully fans of Bethesda.
Regardless of how fantastic The Elder Scrolls 6 may be, it’s likely that we’ll still see long YouTube videos and potentially even more harsh online reactions, such as death threats.

Despite the fact that The Elder Scrolls 6 could turn out to be incredible, I can’t help but feel that lengthy YouTube videos and possibly even death threats might crop up once again.
Regardless of how well Elder Scrolls 6 turns out, according to Purkeypile, it’s likely to face an endless barrage of criticism. He anticipates lengthy YouTube diatribes and potentially even threatening messages directed at the developers of Bethesda.
Considering the veteran developer’s perspective makes sense when you take into account Bethesda’s track record and the high anticipation surrounding Elder Scrolls 6. Another former developer, Bruce Nesmith, expressed that it would be extremely challenging for Bethesda to meet expectations with the game.
