Will 'The Elder Scrolls VI' be officially released before the end of 2028?

Elder Scrolls VI: Playable by 2028?

Following the release of Starfield, Bethesda Game Studios shifted focus to The Elder Scrolls VI. Leaks and court documents have previously hinted at a 2026 or later window. This prediction asks if the game will launch globally before the end of 2028.

The Development Cycle

The 'Yes' vote leads, as 2028 would mark 17 years since Skyrim and 5 years since Starfield. This fits Bethesda's typical development cycle. Recent industry chatter suggests the game is in a playable early build state as of late 2025. However, delays are common in the industry, and Microsoft (Xbox) will likely want to time the release to maximize Game Pass growth, potentially pushing it to the absolute limit of this window.
