I think it’s probably fair to say thatThe Elder Scrolls VIis very nearlythemost anticipated video game sequel of all-time, second only toGTA VI.The long, long-awaited follow-up toSkyrimis currently in development,but we really don’t know much beyond that. We can assumeThe Elder Scrolls VIis going to be a while yet, of course, especially asBethesdacontinues to focus onStarfield. But now some fans are starting to have some incredibly uncomfortable realisations in regards toThe Elder Scrolls VI’s release date.Official documentshave previously suggestedwe could be looking at a 2026 release forThe Elder Scrolls VI, though I’d argue that seems mighty optimistic for an RPG on the level of an Elder Scrolls game. Whichever way you slice it, we’re stillyearsaway from jumping back into Tamriel, and the horror is only just starting to set in for some fans.AdvertOver on Reddit, one userpointed out a sobering fact:Morrowind(2002) is now closer toSkyrim(2011) thanSkyrimis toThe Elder Scrolls VI.And when you consider there was another whole-ass game in betweenMorrowindandSkyrim, you start to get a sense of just how lengthy modern video game development times have gotten. Heck, given the rumours the next-genPlayStation and Xbox consoles are coming in 2027, it’s not even beyond the realms of possibility thatThe Elder Scrolls VIwill be a next-gen game.“How could this even happen?” one Redditor asked. “If you told me in 2011 that the next TES game wouldn’t come out for another 14-15 years, I’d assume Bethesda was shut down or there was a literal world war or something.“It’s worth remembering, of course, that Bethesda has hardly been sat twiddling its thumbs sinceSkyrim. In the last decade we’ve hadFallout 4,Fallout 76, andStarfield- all large, ambitious RPGs. Except maybeFallout 76, although even that is a much better game now.Featured Image Credit: BethesdaTopics:The Elder Scrolls 6,The Elder Scrolls,Skyrim,Bethesda
