Honestly, I wouldn’t be mad if ES VI was just Morrowind reworked into the modern era. It’s a great game, and it could use a few more pixels and updates to the combat and leveling systems.
But yeah, an ES VI update w/ some kind of target release date would absolutely be welcome (even if it’s just a year).
As another user already said, this remaster is being done by an outside studio, so it shouldn’t be significantly affecting any ongoing work at Bethesda.
While Todd Howard is full of shit half the time, I do believe him when he talks about their development roadmap. When Elder Scrolls 6 was announced, it was under the disclaimer that it was not an active project for the team at the time, and would not enter full production until Starfield was done. Starfield released in fall of 2023, so Elder Scrolls 6 should have been in full development for about a year and a half now.
They literally have a teaser trailer for ES6 they officially releasedyears ago (in 2018; similarly to how Cyberpunk 2077 was teased way the hell back in 2012). They said it wouldn’t go into major production, though, until after Starfield released. Which has also already happened.
Right. Yet there’s zero timeline for release, and I’d like a timeline for release. You can’t just tease something and have pretty much no updates for 7 years…
My copium is maybe we get a little update with this announcement. Not thinking it likely, but this whole Oblivion shadowdrop move would tie in well with a statement that ES6 is still coming and this is their way of tiding people over until then.
Yeah, that’s what I’m hoping for. I don’t need gameplay or anything, I just want to know more-or-less what the status is. As in, are we likely to see a release in the next couple years? Or is this a 5-years out situation?

So… is Elder Scrolls VI ever happening?
Bethesda didn’t make this port.
After this they’ll remaster Morrowind. It’ll be Elder Scrolls III 2, and two threes is six, so that’ll be Elder Scrolls VI
Imagine what it’d be like if halfway through this livestream they just shift the “I” to the other side of the “V” and reveal VI as well though

That’s some mighty fine Steiner math!
hold your horses armor buddy, they still have a few other elder scrolls games to remake first.
When Daggerfall stops being free you know they’re about to destroy it’s charm with a modern take.

Todd Howard thinks he can. 🤷🏻♂️
