The Elder Scrolls VI's release date remains shrouded in mystery, much like its Grand Theft Auto VI counterpart. Recent speculation, however, has ignited within the gaming community, fueled by Bethesda's latest Make-A-Wish initiative.
Bethesda announced a silent auction offering the chance to collaborate on creating an NPC for Elder Scrolls VI. The proceeds benefit Make-A-Wish. While a noble cause, this announcement has sparked fervent debate regarding the game's development stage and potential release.
Reddit user "FartingSlowly" noted a parallel between this initiative and a similar Starfield campaign. Observing a roughly two-and-a-half-year gap between the Starfield Make-A-Wish announcement and its release, they extrapolated a potential September 27, 2027, launch for Elder Scrolls VI. However, they acknowledged the inherent flaws in this speculative methodology.
This prediction has been met with skepticism. Some point out that the Starfield campaign coincided with a projected November 2022 release, suggesting a possible November 2026 launch for Elder Scrolls VI.
AnswerSee ResultsThe prolonged silence surrounding Elder Scrolls VI since its June 10, 2018, announcement is noteworthy. Bethesda confirmed the game entered "early development" in August 2023, with "early builds" surfacing in March 2024. Even Bethesda's Todd Howard acknowledged the extended development time.
Initial predictions suggested a 2028 release at the earliest, potentially coinciding with the next generation of consoles. A release then would mark an incredible 17-year gap since Skyrim. Until official confirmation, the wait continues. For further details, refer to Everything we know about The Elder Scrolls 6.
