game news The Elder Scrolls 6 would not appear anytime soon, new statements cast doubt on the future of the game on PS5

However, during a recent intervention during the trial between the FTC and Microsoft, Phil Spencer revealed information about this title. And it’s pretty disappointing.
12 years after Skyrim
First presented in 2018 with a very short teaser, The Elder Scrolls VI Since then it has been quiet. twelve years later SkyrimThe next installment in Bethesda’s iconic saga still remains a mystery to fans who don’t know anything about this game.
So far, his absence is more logical. Bethesda has focused on the development of in recent years starfield, his new main title scheduled for September 6th on PC and Xbox Series. The studio has since also confirmed that it fully focused on this game before proceeding with the development of TES 6. With the upcoming release of Starfield, can we expect any news on The Elder Scrolls 6 anytime soon? Absolutely not. At least that’s what Phil Spencer’s last statement suggests.
A reality difficult to bear
Phil Spencer recently spoke about the games in the Xbox catalog during the trial between the Federal Trade Commission and Microsoft over the Activision-Blizzard acquisition. The President was then asked by Xbox about the release platforms for The Elder Scrolls VI. According to journalist Stephen Totilo, who is following the process, he subsequently replied that he did not yet know the platforms in question as the game was still too far from its release date. TES 6 would be a game planned “for the next five years or more”.
When asked about the platforms of Elder Scrolls VI: “It’s so far away that it’s hard to understand what the platforms will even look like…” … “We’re talking about a game that’s still more than five years away .”

A release of The Elder Scrolls 6 is therefore not imminent. But as for the ambiguity surrounding the game’s release platforms, Phil Spencer’s answer can be interpreted in a number of ways. Phil Spencer seems to be toying with the idea that The Elder Scrolls 6 could be released on future platforms, the next generation of consoles.
He also added that he’s not yet sure which Xbox platform will be impacted by this release. But it could also subtly raise doubts about the possibility of a Playstation release. We know it, The rumor that TES 6 will be exclusive to Xbox has been around for a while. The future of TES 6 therefore remains very uncertain and these statements are intended to remind us of that.
