What to Expect From The Elder Scrolls 6 in 2025

by

Fans of “The Elder Scrolls 6” have been eagerly anticipating the game since its unveiling in 2018, but it’s unlikely that we’ll see much progress by 2025, as the project is still in its initial stages. Previously, Bethesda has prioritized “Starfield” and “Starfield: Shattered Space,” followed by “Fallout 4.” After completing work on “Starfield” and “Shattered Space,” Bethesda finally turned their attention to “The Elder Scrolls 6” in 2024.

Although there’s a change in direction, it’s expected that The Elder Scrolls 6 will take several years before its launch, with the earliest possible release date being 2026. The Elder Scrolls 6 is currently in the initial stages of development, and fans might not receive substantial updates about the plot, environment, or characters until 2025. There’s a slim chance of a year-end teaser trailer, but it’s worth keeping our fingers crossed. In the meantime, whispers hint at a remake of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion being underway.

The Elder Scrolls Fans are In For Another Long Year

The Elder Scrolls 6 is Still in Early Development

2025 is anticipated to see at least a small advancement or update for “The Elder Scrolls 6,” with Bethesda providing updates on the progress of this game. Expect scant details, as “The Elder Scrolls 6” moved out of pre-production only in 2024, following the launch of “Shattered Space.” Similar to “Starfield,” it will be developed using Bethesda’s Creation Engine 2, which could provide an opportunity for Bethesda to correct any errors and optimize the development process they learned from making “Starfield.

If The Elder Scrolls 6 is slated for release in 2026, Bethesda might unveil a sneak peek trailer around late 2025. Just like the teaser for Skyrim didn’t show any gameplay footage but instead focused on Alduin’s Wall, confirming the setting and main character while linking it to the previous games in the series, such a teaser would be a testament to skillful trailer production. If Bethesda manages to create a teaser of similar caliber for The Elder Scrolls 6 towards the end of 2025, fans could hardly contain their excitement.

The Oblivion Remake May Be Announced Early 2025

Meanwhile, fans of “The Elder Scrolls” might find 2025 particularly thrilling due to whispers of a remake for “The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion”. Released years ago, this game remains one of the most cherished in the series because of its compelling storylines, engaging gameplay, and memorable characters. The setting of Cyrodiil, located at the core of Tamriel, holds a special place in many hearts. Revisiting it in 2025 prior to the launch of “The Elder Scrolls 6” would be a fantastic trip down memory lane, returning us to one of the finest games in the series.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but admit that while Oblivion is cherished by many gamers, the character designs, NPC behaviors, voice acting, and combat mechanics of this classic game don’t exactly hold up in today’s gaming landscape. Yet, it remains a prime candidate for a remake due to its timeless story and writing, which continue to resonate with players even after all these years. Remarkably, the janky scripting that was once criticized is now remembered fondly by some players, adding to the game’s unique charm.
