The Elder Scrolls VI remains a highly anticipated title, even in 2025. With Bethesda Game Studios’ focus shifting from Starfield, the next Elder Scrolls installment is now center stage. However, concrete details about the game are still scarce, indicating a potential release several years down the line. Interestingly, the initial reveal trailer for The Elder Scrolls VI is considerably older than most fans realize.
A Reddit user, RoboPup, pointed out a significant time comparison. When Bethesda showcased The Elder Scrolls VI at E3 2018, Skyrim, released in late 2011, had been available for 2,403 days. As of January 7, 2025, the same duration has passed since the Elder Scrolls VI announcement trailer debuted.
This extended period without substantial updates is certainly noteworthy. However, Bethesda’s initial announcement clarified that The Elder Scrolls VI would follow Starfield, preparing fans for a considerable wait. Even in 2025, that wait continues.
Bridging the Gap: A Potential Oblivion Remake?
A potential silver lining to this protracted wait is the rumored remake of a previous Elder Scrolls title. Leaks and rumors suggest a remaster or remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion might be unveiled and potentially launched in 2025. While Bethesda remains silent on this, news regarding a new Oblivion version is anticipated as early as this month.
The Future of The Elder Scrolls VI and Beyond
Regarding The Elder Scrolls VI, crucial information about its release window and target platforms remains unknown. Beyond this, Bethesda has confirmed the development of Fallout 5, slated for release after The Elder Scrolls VI.
