The premise is that in 4E 206 the Daedric prince Peryite is spreading a disease called the Redfall plague. It takes place in both High rock and Hammerfell. Hopefully Elder Scrolls 6, you don’t want to say hey, that it’s worth that kind of wait, but that it does stand up to the series as it has been in a really big, impactful way for when it comes out.Now this will only work if its actually named Redfall and the basic premise was originally proposed by Fudgemuppet in their Redfall video they made a few months ago but I liked it so much I decided to expand on it with my ideal villains and a few story beats. “That being said,” he added, “everything takes longer than we would like as well, but we want to make sure that we get it right. Do I wish I could wave a wand and the game we wanted to make just came out? Absolutely.”Īccording to Howard, however, the time felt right for Bethesda to try something new with Starfield and The Elder Scrolls Online meant that the Elder Scrolls franchise was in a relatively good place. In an interview with IGN (opens in new tab), when discussing the gap between Skyrim and its follow up, Howard said “Would you plan to have the kind of gap we're having between Skyrim and the follow-up? I can't say that's a good thing. The Elder Scrolls 6 is probably still a few years away yet but that’s not because Bethesda is deliberately dragging its heels. "We have some other projects that we look at from time to time as well."īethesda wants to take its time to get it right "Yes, Elder Scrolls 6 is in pre-production and, you know, we’re going to be doing Fallout 5 after that, so our slate’s pretty full going forward for a while" Howard told the publication. In an interview with IGN (opens in new tab), Todd Howard confirmed that Fallout 5 will be Bethesda's next project after The Elder Scrolls 6. The Elder Scrolls 6 newsįallout 5 is coming after The Elder Scrolls 6 We do know one thing for certain wherever it does end up being set, we can expect to be fulfilling a great many side quests. Obviously, those of us who know the world of Tamriel thanks to Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim and yes, even Elder Scrolls Online, the entire world is a veritable expanse of different lands and settings where the game could be set. There is, however, a chance that this teaser doesn't relate to Elder Scrolls 6 at all. That says "transcribe the past and map the future" and shows an image with an unmapped Hammerfell region. However, since it was shown, general opinion has moved towards the idea that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be set in either Hammerfell or High Rock.Īdding credence to the Hammerfell rumor is a post from the official Elder Scrolls Twitter account at the end of 2020. It's hard to tell from the short E3 clip we have of the game. In this memo, Bethesda employees were reportedly warned against using the terms Fallout: Nuka World, Elder Scrolls VI or Project Greenheart. It’s an area of Tamriel that Bethesda hasn’t explored much and that's based on a reported internal Bethesda memo from all the way back in 2014. There were rumors that The Elder Scrolls 6 could be set in Valenwood, the home of the Bosmer. However, even though these areas are prime spots for exploration, that's not to say that Bethesda won't return to areas from previous games. Valenwood, Elsweyr, and Black Marsh are the biggest places left to explore. Previous games have taken us to High Rock, Hammerfell, Morrowind, Cyrodil, and Skyrim. We’re willing to bet that like all the other games in the series, The Elder Scrolls 6 will take place on the continent of Tamriel. Similarly, releases on Xbox One and PS4 seem extremely unlikely, as Starfield shows Bethesda's moving on from last-gen hardware. A PS5 release is much less certain, however, as Microsoft may opt to make the new Elder Scrolls game an Xbox exclusive. Similarly, platforms for The Elder Scrolls 6 haven't been confirmed yet but, given Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda's parent company ZeniMax Media, releases on PC, and Xbox Series S|X are almost a certainty. Given Starfield is set to release in the first half of 2023 and Fable doesn't have a release date yet, the wait for Elder Scrolls 6 is set to be long. Todd Howard said that the game will be coming after Starfield, the company's next big IP, while Xbox Head Phil Spencer has said it won't release until after Fable 4. We don't even have a subtitle or a release year. Despite being announced at Bethesda's E3 2018 conference, little more than a logo was revealed and, more than four years later, we still have few solid details about the next Elder Scrolls game. Don't hold your breath for The Elder Scrolls 6 release date – you won't be exploring its dungeons any time soon.
