Excitement Builds As The Elder Scrolls 6 Enters Development Phase
Things have been pretty quiet around The Elder Scrolls 6. Bethesda gave us a teaser trailer five years ago that we are still feeding off.
But now Skyrim's older sister is officially in development, and it seems to be even further along than we thought!
The first playable builds of Elder Scrolls 6 are already in use, according to Bethesda's birthday letter:
Last but not least, yes, we are in development on the next chapter - The Elder Scrolls VI. Even now, returning to Tamriel and playing early builds has us filled with the same joy, excitement, and promise of adventure.

But that should not get us too excited. The game is still in an early stage of development, and while we do not have an official release date yet, we should not expect a release before 2026.
