Everything We Know About The Elder Scrolls 6 So Far

Hello adventurers! Today, we are diving into the world of one of the most awaited RPGs ever, The Elder Scrolls 6. This game has been on the minds of many fans since its announcement. Let’s explore all the exciting details we know so far, including possible settings, development progress, and what we can expect in the future.

The Waiting Game

It has been over six years since Todd Howard revealed Elder Scrolls 6 at E3 in 2018. Since then, many fans have been eagerly waiting for updates. However, it became clear that Bethesda focused heavily on their new game, Starfield. In 2021, Todd Howard mentioned that we should think of Elder Scrolls 6 as still being in the design phase. This means that actual development had not started yet.

Now that Starfield has been released and even had an expansion, it seems likely that Bethesda is shifting their attention to Elder Scrolls 6. However, we should prepare for a long wait ahead. Many fans have started to speculate about possible settings for the game and where it might take place.

Possible Settings

The short teaser from Bethesda showed a rocky coastline. This has led many fans to guess that the game might be set in High Rock or Hammerfell. Why these places? Let’s break it down:

  • High Rock: Known for its craggy hills, the coastal harbors of the Bretons, and the fortress city of Daggerfall.
  • Hammerfell: The homeland of the Redguards, featuring deserts and rugged mountain landscapes.

The background from the teaser could fit either region or even both. Some fans think we might see a mix of the two, creating a brand new area to explore. Of course, Bethesda has not confirmed anything yet, so we are left guessing. It’s fun to dissect every frame of that teaser to see if it matches known Tamriel regions.

Game Engine Expectations

With every new Bethesda title, we can expect an upgraded or overhauled engine. Starfield ran on an improved version of Bethesda’s Creation Engine. This engine promised better graphics, improved physics, and more dynamic AI. Elder Scrolls 6 will likely build on that foundation and may introduce even more advanced features, such as:

  • Bigger draw distances
  • More complex NPC interactions
  • Dynamic weather systems

We know that Bethesda loves to push the boundaries of RPG world-building. However, the Creation Engine has also shown some flaws in games like Starfield. Many fans would like to see Bethesda switch to Unreal Engine 5, which is popular among big developers today. But, Bethesda seems to trust their own engine. How this will turn out remains to be seen.

Platform Availability

One of the biggest questions around Elder Scrolls 6 is which platforms it will be available on. Bethesda is now under Microsoft. Starfield launched exclusively on Xbox Series X and S and on PC, skipping PlayStation entirely. Will Elder Scrolls 6 follow the same path? It seems likely that Microsoft will keep Elder Scrolls 6 within their own family to boost Xbox Game Pass subscriptions. However, we still do not have an official confirmation. By the time Elder Scrolls 6 releases, it is likely that new generation consoles will be available.

When Can We Expect More News?

Now that Elder Scrolls 6 is likely starting development, everyone is wondering when we can expect to see more news about it. Bethesda has made it clear that they do not want to overhype Elder Scrolls 6 too soon. Starfield had an extensive marketing campaign, and Bethesda will likely hold back big reveals until Elder Scrolls 6 is well into production. This means there may be no major announcements about gameplay, story, or release windows for a while. So, if you are waiting for a big info drop, you might need to sharpen your swords and polish your armor for a while longer.
