One of the most highly anticipated video games on the way isThe Elder Scrolls VI, alongside the likes ofGrand Theft Auto VI, of course.
However, unlikeGTA VIwhich we know is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S (and hopefully PC), the future ofBethesda’sfantasy RPG,The Elder Scrolls VIhas some shred of doubt surrounding it. We know for a fact that the nextElder Scrollsgame is coming to PC and Xbox, we just don’t know when.
Check out The Elder Scrolls VI teaser trailer below!
The Elder Scrolls VIwas announced during E3 2018 and since that time, we’ve seen or heard very little about the game, other than it’s on the way with no release date in sight. What’s more, we’ve only seen that initial cinematic trailer. We don’t know what part of Tamriel it will be set or what story it will tell. It’s quite baffling that six years after its announcement, fans are still being left in the dark.

That being said, now that Microsoft is bringing some of itsexclusives from Xbox to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, some fans are hoping thatThe Elder Scrolls VIwill also come to Sony’s blue brand, eventually. Unfortunately, while there is doubt thatThe Elder Scrolls VIwill be released on PS5, some even fear that it might not even come to Xbox Series X/S.
The reason is, as already mentioned,The Elder Scrolls VIdoes not have a release date and we’ve not even seen any gameplay despite being revealed six years ago. This has led some fans to believe thatThe Elder Scrolls VImight skip the Xbox Series X/S and release onMicrosoft’s next-gen console.
“Prediction: We aren’t gettingThe Elder Scrolls VIthis generation,”exclaimedNot_a_creativeuser. “Hear me out. Since Bethesda is Microsoft-owned now and they have apparently talked about making it exclusive, they might use this to their advantage. I hate console wars, but the fact of the matter is. To them, bringing people to their platform is important.”

“This Gen PS5 outsold the Xbox Series S and X combined. It wasn’t even close,” they claimed. “If they makeThe Elder Scrolls VIa launch title for the next-gen Xbox, they might think more people would be directed towards its platform sinceThe Elder Scrolls VIis the only ace up its sleeve. My guess is 2027-2028 or later.”
“I don’t think you need to be worried about being heard out. I think this is a very reasonable expectation. People have been moving the goalposts forTESVIfor years, for a while it seems people have been set on 2026 but that still seems way too soon, I would think 2028 or thereabouts is a way more reasonable expectation,” explained TheDustyForest. It seems that much of the Reddit thread shares a similar sentiment.
WillThe Elder Scrolls VIskip this generation entirely, only time will tell. At this point, I just want a release date. Hopefully, Microsoft and Bethesda will put us all out of our misery soon and reveal something related toThe Elder Scrolls VIin the coming months.
