The Elder Scrolls 6 Still in Development, Launch Date Uncertain

“The Elder Scrolls 6” Still in Development, Launch Expected in More Than 5 Years

In a recent questioning session with the US Federal Trade Commission, Phil Spencer, the head of Microsoft’s Xbox, revealed that “The Elder Scrolls 6,” which was announced in 2018, is still in the development phase. The highly anticipated game is expected to be officially launched in more than five years.

Spencer also explained that due to the game’s distant release date, it is currently impossible to determine which platforms it will be available on. One of the reasons for this uncertainty is the potential market preparations or the release of next-generation game consoles that may occur by the time “The Elder Scrolls 6” hits the market.

Furthermore, Spencer disclosed that the development team originally assigned to “The Elder Scrolls 6” was later redirected to work on “Starfield,” another highly anticipated game set to be released in September of this year. As a result, the launch of “The Elder Scrolls 6” has been delayed.

“The Elder Scrolls 6” was first announced at the E3 conference in 2018, but little information has been revealed since then. Even in 2020, Bethesda, the parent company of the game’s developer ZeniMax, confirmed that there would be no updates on the game for the next few years.

In addition to discussing the game’s development, the US Federal Trade Commission is currently accusing Microsoft of forming a market monopoly through its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. The commission is also investigating whether the development of Microsoft’s games, including those from ZeniMax, involves platform monopoly and if it affects the rights and interests of game players.

As fans eagerly await the release of “The Elder Scrolls 6,” it seems they will have to exercise patience for more than five years before they can embark on the next adventure in the beloved franchise.

What factors contribute to the uncertainty surrounding which platforms “The Elder Scrolls 6” will be available on?

In an exciting update, Phil Spencer, the head of Microsoft’s Xbox, recently revealed that “The Elder Scrolls 6” is still underway in its development phase. However, fans will have to exercise patience as the highly anticipated game is not expected to be released for another five years or more.

During a recent questioning session with the US Federal Trade Commission, Spencer explained that due to the game’s distant release date, it is currently uncertain which platforms it will be available on. This uncertainty is largely due to potential market changes or the release of next-generation game consoles that may occur by the time “The Elder Scrolls 6” hits the market.

Interestingly, Spencer also disclosed that the development team initially assigned to “The Elder Scrolls 6” was redirected to work on another highly anticipated game called “Starfield,” set to be released in September of this year. As a result, the launch of “The Elder Scrolls 6” has been delayed.

Although “The Elder Scrolls 6” was first announced at the E3 conference in 2018, little information has been revealed since then. In fact, Bethesda, the parent company of ZeniMax, the game’s developer, confirmed back in 2020 that there would be no updates on the game for the next few years.

Aside from discussing the game’s development, the US Federal Trade Commission is also investigating Microsoft for potential market monopoly concerns following its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Additionally, the commission is looking into whether Microsoft’s game development, including that of ZeniMax, involves any platform monopoly practices that could impact the rights and interests of game players.

While the anticipation for “The Elder Scrolls 6” continues to build among fans, it seems they will have to exercise patience and wait for more than five years before they can embark on the next adventure in the beloved franchise.
