13 years to the release of Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim and it stands high, unconquered in the RPG realm. Now, we have the release of Elder Scrolls VI coming our way. We had the trailer of Elder Scrolls VI years back, in 2018. It has been more than half a decade waiting for its final release. It is speculated that we will have it in 2026 and as this news aired, fans’ excitement skyrocketed. Let’s have a quick look at what we can expect from The Elder Scrolls VI while we wait for the final release.
Everything we know about The Elder Scrolls 6
Based on the latest updates we have, Bethesda, the makers announced that the game is out of the pre-production phase and the development is underway. Bethesda also informed that they have been busy with post-launch content for Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 is not the only game they have on their cards. However, they also pointed out that the early structure of the game is ready and is already being played internally, hinting at its release soon, in 2026.
Back in 2020, The Elder Scrolls posted a cryptic tweet that hinted at the possible setting of Elder Scrolls 6. As hawk-eyed fans saw the tweet back then, they pointed at Hammerfell being the possible setup for Elder Scroll 6.
The trailer revealed in 2018 does not hint a lot at the game. But, if we closely have a look at it, it showcases a rugged terrain, full of high rocks. So, another location that we can think of is High Rocks where the game could be set. Though the trailer revealed no concrete information, it is enough for the Skyrim fans to be excited for the new game launch.
The game is likely to be released exclusively on Xbox. But, Todd Howard, in one of his interviews pointed out that it is difficult to not expect The Elder Scrolls 6 on multiple platforms, so we might hope to see it on PC as well. But, it is important to note that these are all speculations and nothing has been finalized by the developers yet. As fans await the release, multiple theories have been cooked around the game. Let us have a look at them.
The Elder Scrolls 6 Theories
The release of Elder Scrolls 6 is still far. As the game releases, fans have generated multiple theories on what the game could be like. These theories include the narrative that could be set in the past, more like a prequel to the Elder Scrolls Universe. Other than this, the fans expect lesser involvement of dragons in The Elder Scrolls 6. The narrative of Skyrim, along with its DLCs was dominated by Dragons. So, fans believe that dragons as a topic have been exhausted by Bethesda and that we may not see them in The Elder Scroll 6. The fans also expect the game to have built-in Mod support as it saves the game from getting stale soon.
Summary
The release of The Elder Scrolls VI is long overdue. As fans expect it to be out in 2026, various sneak peeks have pointed at the probable setting of the game. Other than the setting, the fans expect the narrative to run as a prequel and have less dependence on Dragons. Concluding here, we believe that the game will introduce built-in mods, keeping it fresh for a longer time. Let us hope for it to be as good as Skyrim or even better. Until the game releases, tell us what you expect from the game. Also, do not forget to check out our site for the latest updates in the Gaming space.
