With Bethesda not sharing any update, fans have taken up the responsibility to find clues and make predictions about different aspects pertaining to the game.
Starfield has just completed a year of it being launched. The game has garnered a lot of popularity because of all the DLC support it has received with time. For a very long time, Bethesda was busy with putting Starfield together and ensuring that it got a good launch. Now, that it has fulfilled most of its responsibilities with Starfield, it can shift its focus back to The Elder Scrolls 6.
During the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2018 conference, Bethesda made a formal announcement about The Elder Scrolls 6. The Elder Scrolls franchise was launched way back in 1994 when Bethesda introduced gamers to The Elder Scrolls: Arena, the first game in the franchise. After the announcement came through, fans started wondering when they would get to play the next game in the franchise.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released in 2011 and now, it has been more than a decade since the game was out. While the popularity of the game has grown over the years, fans are now craving to explore a new world with a new addition to the franchise. What fans are truly upset about is the fact that Bethesda has gone quiet after confirming that it is working on The Elder Scrolls 6 way back in 2018.
Since Bethesda refuses to give any update about the game, fans are now turning to the original reveal trailer of the game which came out six years ago. Fans have been going through the trailer several times with the hope of getting some important clues that would enable them to figure out The Elder Scrolls 6 release date or period. The trailer confirmed that pre-production on the game started in 2018 but one still does not know when it will be ready for a launch.
A short teaser trailer for The Elder Scrolls 6 was launched by Bethesda at E3 2018. While the trailer did not feature any gameplay footage, it did confirm the existence of the game. Much before the trailer came out, there was already a lot of discussion about when Bethesda will be rolling out The Elder Scrolls 6. Since Fallout 76 had faced a lot of issues and even received backlash from a section of the gaming community, fans wondered what kind of approach Bethesda would take in developing The Elder Scrolls 6.
Given the fact that Starfield was released in the fall of 2023, one assumes one would have to wait for a few more years, at the least, to witness the launch of The Elder Scrolls 6. However, if Bethesda shares some updates about the game, it will help fans curtail the anxiety they are going through at the moment. Having some clarity on The Elder Scrolls 6 is one thing the entire gaming community wants today.

In today’s times, massive games go through an elaborate development cycle. Though The ES 6 was announced in 2018, one believes Bethesda would have started working on it actively post the launch of Starfield. One can, therefore, expect The Elder Scrolls 6 release date to be somewhere between 2028 and 2030.
