So… What’s Going On With Elder Scrolls 6?

by

For more than seven years now, Bethesda has left its followers in suspense by mentioning “The Elder Scrolls 6,” and since then, fans have been traversing the barren landscapes of speculation, yearning for some clarity.

I want to know.

You want to know.

We all want to know.

Where The Heck Is The Elder Scrolls VI?

In 2018, we received an awe-inspiring, spine-tingling 36-second teaser, but since then, there’s been nothing more. Bethesda shared the teaser and seemingly disappeared into the development abyss. Seven years on, we’re still waiting with bated breath, clinging to our worn-out steel swords, hoping for any news from Akatosh.

Last year, there was indeed a small glimmer of hope – we managed to secure a taste of things to come when Bethesda announced that initial versions of the game can now be played. However, since then, it’s been unusually silent within the realm of Tamriel.

As we speak, it’s been 14 years since our cherished, knee-arrowing, cheese-wheel physics-bending game, Skyrim, has graced us. Fourteen years! That’s more than enough time for a Daedric Prince to pass without a new mainline Elder Scrolls game in the series (I know that Elder Scrolls Online exists and the Oblivion remaster was recently released, but you get my drift).

The Eldest Scrolls

When I heard about the remaster of Oblivion, there was none other than Todd’s calming voice that broke the news, and let me tell you, his hair looked fantastic!

“Obviously, we’re working on the sixth chapter here, but what’s great about The Elder Scrolls is being able to look back at all of the chapters.”

As a gamer, I’ve got to be honest with you, Todd: Nostalgia is great and all, but we’ve reminisced so much that we could probably recite every guard’s dialogue in Tamriel in our sleep. We’ve battled through every bug, slayed every dragon, completed every side quest involving tomatoes, necromancers, and silly gods. It’s time for a change; it’s time to look forward now.

As for specifics about TES VI, there’s currently nothing to show – no trailers, logos, maps, or details on platforms, engine, or release year. Bethesda is being as secretive as the Dark Brotherhood, so we can only wait and keep our eyes peeled. In the meantime, we find ourselves replaying Skyrim once more, getting sidetracked just minutes into the main quest.

Could it be, perhaps, some hidden force is starting to move? The faintest echo of metalworking. A glimmer of light from a torch reflecting off a cavern wall.

An inkling, then, that we won’t need to endure another ten years.
