As many gaming fans might attest, Bethesda’s confirmation ofThe Elder Scrolls 6during its E3 2018 press conference was one ofthe biggest surprise games at the show, as many had expected the company to announce it next year at the earliest. Of course, the forthcoming fantasy-RPG sequel is still a long ways away from officially releasing, andTES6could wind up being a release for the next generation of gaming hardware.
According to ZeniMax Online Studios game director Matt Firor, it will be quite a while untilThe Elder Scrolls 6actually comes out, and since this is the case, it is far too early to discuss what the forthcoming game will contain. Regarding the matter, Firor said, “I don’t even know what the world is going to be like when it comes out; there will be a different console generation by then, I’m sure. Who knows. But I know we’re free and clear for a long time.”
While it appears as ifThe Elder Scrolls 6may not see the light of day until gamers are already using the next generation of gaming hardware, Bethesda will be supplementing the wait for the fantasy-RPG with games such asFallout 76and the mysteriousStarfield. And speaking of the latter title, the publisher and developer has yet to determine exactly whenStarfieldwill be ready, which could lead to it andThe Elder Scrolls 6releasing on next-gen systems.
AlthoughThe Elder Scrolls 6fans shouldn’t hold their breath when it comes to the title’s release, it’s a good sign for the game’s quality that Bethesda has been doing its due diligence when it comes to pre-production work, as the studio has already proclaimed thatthe fantasy-RPG’s setting was established long ago. So, taking all of this into account, it will be interesting to see when fans eventually get to see the first official piece of footage forTES6.
The Elder Scrolls 6is currently in the works, but has yet to receive an official release date.
