As all my colleagues cheer over today’s surprise drop of The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remake, a sliver of hope glimmers for those curious about what lies ahead. Todd Howard took a moment during the stream to assure fans that The Elder Scrolls 6 is, indeed, on the horizon. He confidently mentioned that the team is hard at work on it.
Right before diving into a deluge of news and footage about the Oblivion Remaster, Howard said, “obviously we’re working on the 6th chapter here.” Not exactly a treasure trove of detail, but it’s the most substantial hint about The Elder Scrolls 6 that we’ve had since March 2024. That was when Bethesda revealed that early builds were available for testers, hinting—rather audaciously—that the game was enjoyable. Well, one should certainly hope so.
Before this, we got our last bit of hot gossip from a former Skyrim designer in October 2023. He cautioned us not to expect any updates on ES6 until about six months before it hits the shelves. A month prior, Phil Spencer speculated that its release was still five years away. It sounded a bit humorous back then, but here we are, approaching two years later with hardly any fresh intel.
Realistically, Bethesda’s updates have been as infrequent as spotting a unicorn. Development was only acknowledged in August 2023, five years post-announcement at E3. Call me crazy—seriously, go ahead—but could it be that they jumped the gun with that announcement?
All jokes aside, it’s refreshing to see even the faintest heartbeat from Elder Scrolls 6. It’s hard to believe how much time has passed. The game was announced while I was still navigating school corridors, and now I juggle adult responsibilities, from bills to the chaos of dating apps. Bethesda remains a titan in the RPG space, likely to deliver a masterpiece. But a little tease, like a concept art reveal, wouldn’t hurt. Honestly, Liam Neeson had more evidence of his daughter’s existence in Taken than we have of this game being a reality.
Drop your thoughts below—if you still have any left. And feel free to speculate how deep I’ll be in student loan debt by the time Elder Scrolls 6 finally graces our screens!
