If you’re eagerly awaiting The Elder Scrolls 6, Bethesda’s much-hyped Skyrim successor, you might have to wait a few more years to get to play it. If a Bethesda employee’s LinkedIn profile is to be believed, the game is still in its pre-production phase.
It seems most of the company’s attention right now is focused on Starfield, which happens to be its first new IP in 20 years. Slated to release this November, Starfield could be the reason behind the delay to The Elder Scrolls 6, which has just been showcased in a tiny teaser video till now.
Information about the game comes from the LinkedIn profile of a Bethesda HR employee. The screenshot of this profile, which you can see in the space below mentions that the studio is still in the pre-production phase of The Elder Scrolls 6.
Details regarding the game are pretty scarce at the moment. Back in June last year, Bethesda boss Todd Howard had said that the game is still in the ‘design phase.’ He said that while speaking about Creation Engine 2, which will be powering the said game as well as Starfield.
November 11 has been marked as the release date for Starfield. Set in the area that extends outward from the Solar System, the sci-fi RPG takes place in the year 2310 when two of the largest factions in that area of space are engaged in the bloody Colony War.
While this game was earlier slated to release for the PS5 as well, Microsoft’s purchase of Bethesda owner ZeniMax Media means it will only arrive on PC and the Xbox Series X/S console.
Coming back to The Elder Scrolls 6, let’s hope we get to hear more about the game in the coming months.
