Elder Scrolls 6was announced in 2018 by Bethesda. Since then, we have heard little to no news about the game, except it officially entered production in 2023 after the studio finished its work with Starfield.
Fans are turning impatient for the upcoming title and criticizing Todd Howard’s studio for not timing the game’s announcement well enough. Fans are comparing the upcomingElder Scrollsto titles announced simultaneously, which are almost at the end of their lifespan.
Halo Infinite and Elder Scrolls 6 Were Both Announced on the Same Day in 2018
Halo Infinitewas a title that challenged the norms in the FPS shooter franchise. This included the game’s multiplayer following a free-to-play model, unlike any others in the franchise, which required gamers to play for the entire game. The game also faced a lot of criticism from purists and series veterans.
In recent news, Microsoft has givenHalofans another reason to lament and be disappointedby not including the franchise in its 2024 Xbox Game Showcase. But unlike Microsoft’s first-person shooter,The Elder Scrollsseries had its last game released in 2011.

This means there has not been a new game in the fan-favorite RPG series for 13 years. Coincidentally,Halo InfiniteandElder Scrolls 6were announced on 24 June 2025, exactly six years ago from the time of writing.
While the former is about to reach the end of life, there seems to be no update on the latter, which is now worrying fans:

This shows that the company hastily announced the title, and the official announcement should have come soon. That is because the hype that follows a game right after its announcement, especially if it is a title likeElder Scrolls 6, is unreal and should be appropriately utilized.
Fans React to the Elder Scrolls 6’s Six-Year-Old Announcement
Bethesda’s latest titles have been a hit or a miss among fans and critics. Unfortunately, that includes the studio’s most ambitious game, which Howard dubs ‘Skyrimin Space.’ However, the upcomingShattered Spaceexpansion might set things right for the game and the studio.
The Elder Scrolls 6 Was Only Revealed Due to Fan Pressure
Meanwhile, fans are reacting to there being no traces ofElder Scrolls 6for the last six years:
Heartbreaking. I was really hoping we’d get some news on Elder Scrolls VI. And I’m so sad to see what a mess Infinite was. The game is decent now but it took so long to get to this point.

Some people also think that the game was only revealed as early as it was so that Todd Howard’s video game studio has something to show for itself:
TES was revealed early just to shut people up lol.

Some fans in the post’s comment section also stated that with the current state of the studio, it won’t be easy to develop the next game inThe Elder Scrollsfranchise.
Many gamers who were fans of the games published and developed by the studio lost faith in them. Bethesda would have to pull up their socks and deliver a blockbuster to rewin people’s trust.
What do you think of the period between the title’s announcement and the radio silence there ever since? We would love to know your thoughts in the comments below.
