It has also bound the future of the beloved franchise to Xbox consoles. Looking further back to September 2020, Microsoft announced their $7.5 billion acquisition of Bethesda, which will be completed this year. While he chatted mostly about Starfield, an upcoming Bethesda space-faring adventure, he also offered an update about the eventual TES 6 launch. In November 2020, Executive Producer Todd Howard was interviewed as part of the Develop: Brighton Conference 2020.

While no gameplay or new trailer has been released yet, Bethesda Game Studios has teased the future of the high-fantasy series a few times. There’s been an inconsistent trickle of The Elder Scrolls VI news since the teaser was unveiled back in 2018.
