The Elder Scrolls VI

Bethesda Game Studios announced The Elder Scrolls VI in 2018 as the next mainline chapter after Skyrim. In July 2026, the studio said the project had become its primary development focus, with most of the team working on it and an internal build being played every day. Bethesda is developing the game on Creation Engine 3, the technology platform it is building for its next generation of RPGs. Public details remain deliberately limited: the studio has not confirmed the setting, subtitle, platforms, release date, characters, or specific gameplay systems. Until those announcements arrive, the project is defined by its place in the open-world fantasy series rather than years of location and launch speculation.
