Bethesda teases early playtesting for The Elder Scrolls 6

Bethesda has sparked enthusiasm among The Elder Scrolls fans by confirming that early builds of The Elder Scrolls 6 are currently being tested by its developers. Coinciding with the franchise's 30th anniversary, the iconic studio shared that revisiting the fantasy world of Tamriel and playing these early versions has brought joy and anticipation to their team. While details remain scarce and the release date is still far off, particularly in the wake of the mixed reception to their recent title, Starfield, the community is comforted knowing Bethesda is progressing with the beloved series. On a nostalgic note, Bethesda commemorated The Elder Scrolls: Arena's launch date and celebrated the series' evolution, referencing the omnipresence of Skyrim and the contentious Skyrim Creations initiative.

When can we expect The Elder Scrolls 6 to be released?

There is currently no official release date for The Elder Scrolls 6. Bethesda's recent update only confirms that early development builds are being played internally, suggesting that the game is in the early stages of production and that a release date could be several years away.

The Elder Scrolls series, created by Bethesda Game Studios, began with the release of The Elder Scrolls: Arena in 1994 and has since become one of the most popular and influential RPG franchises in gaming history. The most widely known installment, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which was released in 2011, is renowned for its expansive open world and has been re-released on numerous platforms, including VR and the Nintendo Switch. Fans have eagerly awaited the next main installment, The Elder Scrolls 6, since its initial tease at E3 2018.
