Xbox boss Phil Spencer has said that although there are currently no confirmed platforms for Elder Scrolls 6, the game is still 5+ years away.

The news comes from the FTC vs Microsoft trial (full coverage here), in which Phil Spencer was asked about console exclusivity on Bethesdas games. Speaking on Elder Scrolls 6, Spencer said, With Elder Scrolls VI, its so far outits hard to understand what platforms it will even be at this point. Its the same team thats finishing Starfield, which comes out this September. So were talking about a game thats like five-plus years away.

Spencers comments mean that Elder Scrolls 6 will not release until a least 2028 Which is around the same time the PlayStation 6 (via FTC vs Microsoft hearing) and presumably next-generation Xbox will launch.

Although not confirmed, the confidence in Microsofts statement on the PS6 likely suggests that the next generation Xbox will release in the same year. According to our own report in March 2023, in which information was obtained from vetted and corroborated sources, we also believe that the PS6 will release in 2028.

So if you want to look at the future of console gaming in a different light, Elder Scrolls 6 has likely been confirmed as our first next-generation game.

Elder Scrolls 6 was first announced in June 2018, meaning the game will have been in development for over a decade on release since its initial announcement.

They're not entering full development until after Starfield.

I imagine when they announced it the game wasn't in development and still isn't now. They only announced it to try and distract from how much negative press Fallout 76 was getting

Not really. They announced a teaser image and then basically all but said that ES6 was their next project after Starfield. There was never any expectation that it was coming soon unless you weren't paying attention.

That being said, Bethesda holding two major franchises on hold for a decade+ is utterly insane to me, especially with Microsoft bucks backing them now. They really need a Bethesda Fallout team, a Bethesda Elder Scrolls team, and a Bethesda new IP team all working with the goals of having a new installment in their respective areas out every five-ish years. We'll see how Starfield does, but there's absolutely a demand for new ES and FO games twice a decade apiece.

It's being made by the mainline dev team who are working on Starfield. I fully expected this the moment they announced it.

To distract from the fact the only ES stuff they had soon was ESO expansion and the mobile game.

Is it really going to be nearly two decades after TES5?

Remember that newborn who was named after Dovahkiin?

He's going to be old enough to vote by the time TES6 is released.

I kinda hate how the gaming hobby has become 95% waiting and 5% actual playing the game.

We wait months and years for a game for it to come out and finish the game in like 20-80 hours depending on the game.

Can't you play other games? These same guys are releasing Starfield in just over 2 months. If you like Elder Scrolls and sci-fi I'm sure you'll like it.

Don't see why it would need to be. That's what Elder Scrolls Online is for.

It'll at least require the Internet to download in many countries, due to the lack of physical disk.
