The Elder Scrolls 6 is being talked about, but not necessarily for the right reasons. A symbolic milestone has just been reached that is demoralizing many players.
The Elder Scrolls 6 is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated games of the future. Whether among die-hard Bethesda fans who don't miss any of their productions or those less connected to the studio, this title seems to be generating universal anticipation. Because The Elder Scrolls is a game that appeals to everyone. Unfortunately, the game has just reached a symbolic milestone.
In fact, it's now been as long since The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced as there was a wait between releases Skyrim and that famous announcement. Six years, seven months and three days to be exact. Since the initial reveal at E3 2018, Bethesda has remained tight-lipped about the next installment. Keeps the fans in suspense.
E3 2018 was a highlight for RPG fans. In a short trailer, Bethesda presented a fantastic landscape. All accompanied by the series' familiar drums before the long-awaited title is revealed: The Elder Scrolls 6. Although this teaser was short, it had raised the hopes of fans, who expected the game to be accompanied by many more reveals in the following years.
However, these expectations were disappointed. Since this announcement, no new trailers or important information have been released. The initial excitement gradually turned into frustration for many players, especially as Bethesda continued to focus on other projects like Starfieldpublished in 2023.
A development that is progressing slowly
However, some progress has been confirmed. In August 2023, Bethesda announced this The Elder Scrolls 6 had entered the phase Pre-development. As of March 2024, “early versions” of the game were available internally. While this information is encouraging, it shows that the project is still in its early stages. Todd Howard, creative director at Bethesda, even admitted last year that the wait was “longer than expected.”
The waiting for THES 6 is now a story in itself. Reddit user RoboPup has calculated that the time since the game's announcement is the same as the time between its release Skyrim in November 2011 and the same announcement in June 2018. This parallel sparked discussions in the community that questioned Bethesda's communication strategy.
