The Elder Scrolls 6 is the next big game from Bethesda Game Studios, but no one should expect it soon. The wait for the RPG continues, and just recently passed a sad milestone.
Reddit user RoboPup has pointed out that it’s now been 2,403 days since The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced on June 10, 2018 (via IGN). What’s the significance of 2,403 days? That’s also the number of days that The Elder Scrolls 6’s trailer was revealed after The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim came out on November 11, 2011.
Starfield was the latest release from Bethesda Game Studios. The Elder Scrolls 6 is coming up next, and it will be followed by Fallout 5 at some point later on. Bethesda, which is owned by Microsoft, has not announced release dates for any of its upcoming games, however.
Bethesda boss Todd Howard has questioned whether it was right to announce The Elder Scrolls 6 so early. Former Bethesda veteran Bruce Nesmith, meanwhile, said Bethesda announced the game so early because fans were coming with pitchforks demanding to know about the next Elder Scrolls. Nesmith has also said The Elder Scrolls 6 cannot be expected to live up to the hype.
Bethesda announcing The Elder Scrolls 6 so early was a change in form for the company. Many may recall how Bethesda announced Fallout 4 (following many leaks) in June 2015 and released it in November 2015.
Another game fans are waiting to hear more about is Grand Theft Auto VI. Rockstar Games did not say a peep about the game for the entirety of 2024, leading to GTA 6 breaking a sad record of its own.
