The Elder Scrolls VIis looking increasingly likely to launch in 2026, fans insist. While this might sound like the wishful thinking of gamers desperate for some more Elder Scrolls action, it does actually seem to add up.
Come back in time with me, if you will. You may remember it wasn’t that long official Microsoft documents leaked, appearingto confirm a 2026 release windowforThe Elder Scrolls VI. This was even beforeStarfieldcame out, mind you, which got fans pretty excited.

I don’t need to tell you that video game development takes a long-ass time these days, and that just because a video game is in a playable state doesn’t mean it’s anywhere close to being finished. But this update from Bethesda sure does make the 2026 release window look much more feasible, doesn’t it?
Over onThe Elder Scrolls VI subredditfans are increasingly convinced that a late 2026/early 2027 release is on the cards, which is far sooner than many of us would have dared hope for.
This is pure speculation for now, of course, but when you look at everything we currently know for sure aboutThe Elder Scrolls VI(which, again, is not much), 2026 starts to look less like a fever dream and more like a tangible reality.

It is worth noting, however, that after the lukewarm receptionStarfieldgot from fans, most of us can probably agree that Bethesda should take all the time it needs to get this one right.
