Bethesda Won’t Officially Announce Elder Scrolls VI Until It’s Close to its Release Date

Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls franchise can be seen as one of the reasons PC gaming and the industry as a whole is where it’s at right now.

Even though Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a couple of years old, millions of people play it regularly to this day, and almost all of them want a new game. Bethesda’s Pete Hines recently spoke with PC Gamer, and discussed the possibility of them revealing a new Elder Scrolls game. He clearly explained that “you’re not going to be hearing first details on [The Elder Scrolls VI] years before the game comes out, absolutely not.”

Anything we want to do from a PR-marketing perspective always has implications on the devs, right? Whether that’s trying to capture video or trying to put together a demo: it’s an additional ask above and beyond just working on the game. You’re not going to be hearing first details on [The Elder Scrolls VI] years before the game comes out, absolutely not.

As for the meantime, we can just wait for the upcoming Skyrim: Special Edition releasing in October for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
