Todd Howard Says The Elder Scrolls VI Is Still Far Off as Bethesda Logs Fresh Playtests

Howard describes TES VI as Bethesda’s everyday focus despite large teams on Fallout projects.

Overview

  • Howard tells GQ the team held a recent “big play test,” confirming playable builds exist even as development continues.
  • He urges fans to be patient and reiterates there is no release window, calling the next Elder Scrolls entry “a long way off.”
  • Bethesda has “hundreds” working on Fallout, yet Howard says The Elder Scrolls VI occupies his day-to-day attention.
  • Citing April’s surprise Oblivion Remastered launch, Howard says that shadow drop “worked out well” and hints TES VI could follow a similar philosophy without committing to it.
  • An influencer’s claim of a 2028 target is circulating, but Bethesda has not confirmed any timeline beyond acknowledging ongoing development since its 2018 teaser.
