Bethesda Unveils Mind-Blowing Update for The Elder Scrolls 6

Highlights

The Elder Scrolls 6 is now in active development, according to Bethesda's Pete Hines.

Bethesda prioritizes Starfield at the moment, implying that fans should not expect major updates regarding The Elder Scrolls 6 in the near future.

After completing support for Starfield, The Elder Scrolls 6 development will probably gain momentum, although it could still take several years before the game is launched.

Bethesda's Pete Hines recently provided an exciting update regarding the progress of The Elder Scrolls 6, the next game in development by Bethesda Game Studios. Although first announced at E3 2018, little information has been revealed about the game since then. Fans eagerly await details such as the official title, setting, and general expectations. Having focused on other projects, particularly the highly anticipated open world sci-fi RPG Starfield, Bethesda can now shift attention to The Elder Scrolls 6 as the release date for Starfield draws near.

Recently, it has been confirmed by Bethesda's Pete Hines in an interview with Vandal that The Elder Scrolls 6 has transitioned from its pre-production phase into active, early development. Hines emphasized that the current focus for Bethesda is on Starfield, which means that fans should not anticipate significant updates regarding The Elder Scrolls 6 in the near future. Nevertheless, the fact that the game is actively being developed is highly encouraging, suggesting that fans can look forward to its release within the next few years or so.

While Bethesda is preparing to release Starfield, their support for the game will extend beyond its launch. Fans can anticipate regular updates from Bethesda to fix bugs and potentially address fan feedback. Additionally, the studio has exciting plans for post-launch content, including at least two DLC expansions for Starfield. Details about these expansions are currently unavailable, but more information is expected to be revealed in the near future.

It is likely that development for The Elder Scrolls 6 will pick up pace once Bethesda has completed its support for Starfield, whether that be after releasing the two announced DLC packs or if they decide to continue supporting the game for a longer duration than initially anticipated. Furthermore, Bethesda has already confirmed their next planned game after The Elder Scrolls 6.

After The Elder Scrolls 6, Bethesda's upcoming game is Fallout 5. However, given the extended time it will take for The Elder Scrolls 6 to be released, fans may have to wait for another decade before they catch a glimpse of Fallout 5.
