The Elder Scrolls 6, the long-awaited follow-up to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, still looks to be at least two or three years out. Industry reporter Jason Schreier has pointed to a 2028 or 2029 release window.
Bethesda announced the game back in 2018, so if Schreier’s timeline is right, fans will have waited about a decade from the reveal, and 17 or 18 years since Skyrim came out in 2011. That’s a long stretch for a series this big.
Todd Howard has said full production on The Elder Scrolls 6 didn’t begin until after Starfield shipped in 2023. He’s also said the game is already playable, and that most of Bethesda is now working on it. Even so, it still doesn’t sound like release-date territory yet, or like the kind of big gameplay showcase and full marketing campaign that usually means launch is getting close.
Hard details are still scarce. Reports keep pointing to a new version of Bethesda’s tech, usually referred to as Creation Engine 3. As for the setting, Hammerfell is still the leading fan theory. High Rock, naval travel, and ship customization keep coming up too, but those are still rumors and nothing official.
If you’ve been waiting for Skyrim’s successor, this update matters. The long gap, the Microsoft-era layoffs and restructuring, and the mixed response to Starfield have all put Bethesda under more pressure to get this one right.
There’s nothing to download yet, but The Elder Scrolls 6 is still one of Bethesda’s biggest upcoming RPGs for Xbox and PC.
