It could be after before we get anything really juicy. With so much to learn about The Elder Scrolls 6 including whether it will definitely be an Xbox exclusive, which looks increasingly likely we've scoured the web to find the latest news and rumors about the game and collected everything here in this handy guide so that you can stay up to date.
We'll be updating regularly as news comes in so make sure you keep checking back. Don't hold your breath for The Elder Scrolls 6 release date — you won't be exploring its dungeons any time soon. Despite being announced at Bethesda's E3 conference, little more than a logo was revealed. We don't even have a subtitle or a release year. Given Starfield is set to release in November , and Fable doesn't even have a release date yet, the wait for Elder Scrolls 6 is set to be a very long one.
As such, tentatively expect The Elder Scrolls 6 to release in at the earliest, after Bethesda has given Starfield at least a couple of years in the spotlight. The only footage we have of Elder Scrolls 6 is a very short clip of the game's logo. Other than that, you might be waiting a while to see more. I can't say that's a good thing. Do I wish I could wave a wand and the game we wanted to make [ According to Howard, however, the time felt right for Bethesda to try something new with Starfield and the Elder Scrolls Online meant that the Elder Scrolls franchise was in a relatively good place.
While The Elder Scrolls 6's console exclusivity still hasn't been confirmed, Xbox boss Phil Spencer mentioned in an interview with GQ that if the game were to be exclusive, it wouldn't be to punish fans looking to play on PS5.
And that would be true when I think about Elder Scrolls 6. That would be true when I think about any of our franchises. In the same interview with GQ, linked above, Bethesda game director Todd Howard spoke on following up the legacy of Skyrim, which has enjoyed a decade of re-releases, upgrades and no shortage of fan-created mods on both PC and consoles.
Seemingly thinking ahead about The Elder Scrolls 6's longevity, Howard said: "I think that would drive me crazy to try to say, 'Okay, this is the thing you have to top,'" in reference to Skyrim. The adage of "if you build it, they will come" has almost always applied to The Elder Scrolls franchise, at least since the series exploded in popularity with the release of the third entry, Morrowind.
To this day, fans are still creating mods and total conversions for Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim, so we think Howard shouldn't be all that concerned with how to make the next entry a 'decade game,' as it will likely naturally become that through the modding scene, as well as with official support from Bethesda.
Starfield has been confirmed as an Xbox exclusive but for many question marks still remain around The Elder Scrolls 6 as nothing has been explicitly confirmed by Bethesda or Microsoft just yet. Grubb tweeted this in response to a user who suggested that Starfield and other Bethesda games could still have a chance of a PS5 release:.
And also Elder Scrolls 6 is planned as Xbox exclusive as well. But when I think about our lineup, and I think about that more core fantasy RPG setting, I think Avowed is gonna be an awesome entrance there. Still in the early stages We could still be waiting quite a while before we get the chance to play Elder Scrolls 6, as Bethesda Games Studios director, Todd Howard, has confirmed that the next chapter in the open-world fantasy saga is still in the early stages of development.
During the " Bethesda Joins Xbox" roundtable on March 11, Spencer addressed speculation around whether the acquisition will see future Bethesda titles, such as Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6, becoming Xbox exclusives following Microsoft's acquisition of ZeniMax Media.
However, games under contractual obligations from before the acquisition, such as Deathloop , will still land on PS5 — while games that currently exist on other platforms will continue to be supported. Though it's worth noting that The Elder Scrolls 6 may not fall under this Xbox Game Pass exclusivity umbrella if Sony has already secured the games on its platform, it is entirely possible that a big hitter like this will only be available on Xbox and PC — for a time, at least — especially given platforms haven't been confirmed for either yet.
That's certainly the case with Starfield, now a confirmed Xbox-only exclusive. Leaked footage seems likely fake A video claiming to be early test footage from The Elder Scrolls 6 has appeared online but its authenticity is suspect. Posted to Reddit via GamesRadar , the footage is extremely short a grand total of 10 seconds and only gives a first-person view of a figure running across grass and past rocks.
His main focus remains Directing the upcoming Starfield and TES6 games, which aren't affected by today's news. January 12, Is it Hammerfell? Transcribe the past and map the future. The lights are placed on different areas of Tamriel, with one on a box above the map, another on Skyrim and another, interestingly, on an unmapped area below Skyrim: Hammerfell. Naturally, many fans are taking this image as a hint that the rumors about the setting are true.
Another point of interest, picked up on by PCGamer , is the date on the map: 4E This is actually only a few years before the events of Skyrim in around 4E and hints that the 5th and 6th games in the series could be closely connected. At worst, you'll have to trudge through the Windows 10 store to pick up a copy, while PS5 owners will be left out in the cold. Budget-wise, The Elder Scrolls 6 was likely going to receive every penny it needed to be the next big Bethesda RPG, but the boost of Microsoft's wallet probably won't hurt either.
The game probably won't come to PS5 when the time comes, but it will be a day-one Game Pass offer. That will be a pretty good reason to sign up. The news about the Elder Scrolls 6 Xbox exclusive comes during Microsoft's 20th anniversary celebration for the original console. Xbox boss Phil Spencer was a little indirect, saying "in order to be on Xbox, I want us to be able to bring the full complete package of what we have.
And that would be true when I think about Elder Scrolls 6. Todd Howard put a blessing and curse on us by announcing Elder Scrolls 6 at E3 despite Starfield ahead of ES6 in Bethesda's pipeline still being in development. We are very patient so we're just going to casually tally the years of E3 in which we haven't heard any more about Elder Scrolls 6. E3 "It's good to think of The Elder Scrolls 6 as still being in a design [phase]," Todd Howard said in an interview shortly after E3 With so little information, Elder Scrolls fans have taken to picking apart anything Elder Scrolls related to find clues, starting with the original teaser trailer from Todd Howard suggested that clues do indeed exist, saying the teaser contains "hints at where it's set.
Todd Howard himself has confirmed that The Elder Scrolls 6's location has already been decided, and that this decision was made a while ago. We've taken a crack at figuring out the setting of The Elder Scrolls 6 ourselves.
It's a reasonable thing to guess, and currently the most popular theory. The original teaser trailer shows rocks, and appears to be high.
There you go—High Rock. That's not quite enough to be sure, though. TES geography changes quite a bit over time, and High Rock has already been covered by the early games. So have Hammerfell, Morrowind, Cyrodiil, and Skyrim.
Adding to the speculation, the Starfield trailer from E3 included a possible Elder Scrolls teaser. A very small scratch on the interior of a spaceship looks suspiciously like a drawing of a landmass. It's a very tiny detail that could be nothing, but it sure is a distinct shape. Speaking of Hammerfell, Bethesda already might have teased it as a location as well.
Maybe things are coming together. Thanks to a New Year's post by Bethesda at the very end of , Hammerfell is another possible destination. No one is quite sure if the image posted is really a clue about Elder Scrolls 6, but the message about "mapping the future" sure does seem like it could be.
Fans have speculated that the placement of candles on the image is a clue, most notably the one placed beneath the word "Hammerfell" in the undrawn area of the map West of Skyrim. Here's what we know: the highly anticipated game is currently in production.
Here's what rumored: the all-but-confirmed fact that the Elder Scrolls 6 is planned as an Xbox exclusive. A potential Elder Scrolls 6 Hammerfell location. When it comes to release date and any other details, we have some clues, but nothing concrete so far.
Phil Spencer confirmed that Elder Scrolls 6 will be release after Fable 4. Since we know that Starfield is coming in November and Elder Scrolls 6 comes sometime after it, we've got a very large window for when we'll see it - don't expect it until at the earliest.
Transcribe the past and map the future. Fans believe this Tweet is a confirmation that the next Elder Scrolls will take place in Hammerfell. The official Elder Scrolls Twitter account posted a New Year's message featuring a Skyrim, with the words "transcribe the past and map the future.
One is placed directly on Skyrim, one on a book holding the map down, and another beyond Skyrim's borders in the southwest - right by the label for Hammerfell. This is the home of the Redguards, and it's been on everyone's radar since the teaser trailer seemed to line up with some geographic details of Hammerfell.
It's looking more and more likely that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be an Xbox exclusive title. Recent reports suggest it's planned to be an Xbox exclusive, and since Starfield was announced as an Xbox and PC exclusive at E3 , it seems likely Elder Scrolls 6 will follow the same path. Despite this, Todd Howard has said "it's hard to imagine" not bringing The Elder Scrolls 6 to multiple platforms.
Xbox made it clear during the Jefferies Interactive Entertainment conference that it will "absolutely" buy more studios, with games "first or best" on the platform. But what we want is we want that content to be either first or better or best, or pick your differentiated experience, on our platforms. We will want Bethesda content to show up the best on our platforms," Spencer said.
