The Elder Scrolls 6 is a long way off, Bethesda confirms

If you’re excited about the next mainline entry in The Elder Scrolls, you’re in for a long wait. The Elder Scrolls VI, which Bethesda announced at E3 this year, won’t be showing up on this console generation, and it’ll be coming sometime after Starfield, which is also a long way off. GameSpot spoke with ZeniMax Online Studios game director Matt Firor at PAX Australia Friday, and the question of a release date for The Elder Scrolls VI naturally came up. Firor said plainly that it wouldn’t be during the Xbox One or PlayStation 4 lifecycle. “There will be a different console generation by then, I’m sure,” Firor said. Firor also indicated that The Elder Scrolls VI is behind Bethesda’s space exploration RPG Starfield in the studio’s production pipeline. The company announced Starfield at its showcase event at E3, right before teasing the next Elder Scrolls game. “The easiest thing is look at how it was announced,” he said to GameSpot. “You can go back and count the years between Bethesda Game Studios releases, and you’ll get the idea that [The Elder Scrolls VI is] not coming any time soon.”
