We\u2019re still clinging to a logo seven years later (Bethesda)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Bethesda<\/a>\u2019s sequel to The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim<\/a> has been in development for years, but several rumours have teased what to expect.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been 14 years since The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim<\/a> first appeared in 2011, and since then Bethesda has done everything but release a sequel.<\/p>\n

Aside from putting Skyrim on every platform under the sun, the studio has released Fallout<\/a> 4, Fallout 76<\/a>, several The Elder Scrolls spin-offs<\/a>, and a new sci-fi IP in 2023\u2019s Starfield<\/a>. Just recently, Bethesda also launched a remastered version of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion<\/a>, presumably as a stop-gap for the next mainline instalment.<\/p>\n

For many who are still playing Skyrim, and now Oblivion Remastered, The Elder Scrolls 6 is probably one of the most anticipated games of the decade. If you\u2019re craving some kind of solace during the long wait for its release, we\u2019ve assembled everything we know about Bethesda\u2019s pivotal sequel.<\/p>\n

When was The Elder Scrolls 6 first announced?<\/h2>\n

Incredibly, The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced<\/a> way back on June 10, 2018 at Bethesda\u2019s E3 event that year. Nothing was shown apart from a teaser trailer which showed off the logo, and a nondescript landscape. At the time, the game\u2019s director, Todd Howard, warned it would be \u2018a very long way off\u2019, and he wasn\u2019t lying.<\/p>\n

Since then, we\u2019ve heard small updates on the game\u2019s progress. The Elder Scrolls 6 entered active production<\/a> at Bethesda in 2023, following the release of Starfield, and it was playable<\/a> via early builds in March 2024.<\/p>\n

As confirmed in a Telegraph<\/a> interview with Todd Howard, the long-awaited sequel will also run on Bethesda\u2019s Creation Engine 2, the same engine used for Starfield (so, yes, that probably means the facial animation will still be bad).<\/p>\n
