If you are fan of the Elder Scrolls franchise, then I am happy to inform you that we finally have a new rumor to chew on. As it turns out, a prominent leaker known as eXtas1s claims that The Elder Scrolls 6 is currently targeting a release in late 2027. While this date hasn’t been confirmed by Bethesda, it seems to align with recent patterns in the game’s development timeline.
Let’s check the historical date. Elder Scrolls 6 was announced in 2018, but after early pre-production, it only entered full development in 2023, once Starfield was released. While some early rumors had fans hoping for a 2026 launch, this new leak suggests everyone needs to prepare for a longer wait.
According to the leaker, Bethesda’s team is now entirely focused on TES 6 and progress is steady, but the project is so massive that a late 2027 release is the most realistic target at the moment. The game is supposedly in an early playable state, meaning developers have a basic build they can actually test, but it’s far from finished. Major content like quests and world locations are still being worked on.
It’s worth mentioning this isn’t the first time the leaker has commented on the project, but as with all rumors, nothing is set in stone until Bethesda makes it official.
As things stand, fans may have to settle in for a bit more waiting before venturing into the next Elder Scrolls world.
