“As I said with Elder Scrolls 6, it’s so far out it’s hard to understand what the platforms will even be at this point. It’s the same team that’s finishingStarfield, which comes out this September. So we’re talking about it being likely five-plus years away.”
It’s hardly a surprise, given the scale of Bethesda RPGs, that the next Elder Scrolls is a long way out. Last week Todd Howard told IGN that Elder Scrolls 6, given his age, “may be the last” game he works on - and he’s obviously currently focused on shippingStarfield. It perhaps makes it harder to explain why they chose to announce Elder Scrolls VI existedfive years ago, in 2018, which pre-dates Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda.
The FTC are suing to block Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard on anti-competition grounds. Those hearings aren’t due to begin until August, but this week’s hearings are an attempt to prevent Microsoft completing the deal beforehand.
