Microsoft’s lawyer would possibly’ve not too long ago slipped up now and, after correcting the choose on the title of the sport, revealed that the projected launch window for The Elder Scrolls 6 is 2026.

Of course, this appears to contradict a current assertion by Xbox itself the place boss Phil Spencer claimed that The Elder Scrolls 6 nonetheless at the least 5 years away from launch. If my math is right, that places a launch timeline extra across the 2028 mark or for the optimists, late 2027 if we’re fortunate. Considering that the anticipated RPG is just in its toddler levels of improvement, a three-year cycle to push out a AAA recreation is nearly unreasonable, although not unimaginable, in right this moment’s business.
As many followers have already identified, Microsoft’s lawyer is solely be offering estimates and nothing concrete, which makes their 2026 projected launch remark onerous to consider, particularly contemplating that developer Bethesda Game Studios is at the moment all fingers on deck for its upcoming sci-fi RPG, Starfield. Additionally, regardless of being introduced all the way in which again in 2018, The Elder Scrolls 6 has solely remained within the early levels of improvement and presumably has but to enter full manufacturing.
Sadly, it’s doubtless that it will likely be half a decade earlier than The Elder Scrolls 6 sees the sunshine of day. Announcements could possibly be made sooner however it looks as if Starfield, and no matter post-launch content material is deliberate for the sport, may take up a good period of time for Bethesda Game Studios till then.
