The revelation of The Elder Scrolls VI’s extended timeline shouldn’t come as a surprise to those following Bethesda’s updates on the game. In 2020, Pete Hines, Bethesda’s senior vice president of marketing and communications, mentioned that substantial information about the game would not be available for a few more years. Hines emphasized that managing expectations and providing details prematurely would be a disservice to fans.
Based on Phil Spencer’s recent comments, it is possible that The Elder Scrolls VI may skip the current generation of consoles entirely. Additionally, Todd Howard, the creative director at Bethesda Game Studios, hinted that The Elder Scrolls VI might be the last game of his career, further emphasizing the long-term nature of the project.
