Elder Scrolls 6 Development Delay Reaches Unprecedented Milestone

The game’s announcement trailer is now as old as Skyrim was when Elder Scrolls 6 was first revealed, with no significant updates in over six years.

Elder Scrolls 6 was announced on June 10, 2018, but has seen little progress revealed publicly since then, frustrating fans of the franchise.
As of January 2025, it has been 2,403 days since the announcement, the same amount of time between Skyrim's release and Elder Scrolls 6's reveal.
Bethesda confirmed in 2023 that the game had exited pre-production, with early builds reportedly being tested in March 2024, but no release window has been provided.
Game director Todd Howard has acknowledged the extended timeline, citing Bethesda's focus on Starfield and other projects as contributing factors.
The delay has raised concerns about competition, with upcoming titles like the Game of Thrones RPG potentially capturing the attention of RPG fans.
