The Elder Scrolls 6 Announcement Trailer is Officially Five Years Old

We're probably going to see Skyblivion and Skywind release before TES6...

When they first dropped the trailer, my coworker said it would be out within the year because “why would they show it if it wasn’t ready?”. I bet him $100 if it released by next summer, and $20 for me every year it didn’t release. I don’t work with him anymore and it wasn’t a fair bet anyway, but I always think fondly of that when TES6 release comes up

Honestly with how shit Bethesda has been, and my low opinion of Skyrim compared to the earlier Elder Scrolls games, i'm not that excited. Like all AAA games nowadays its gonna be a buggy and unplayable mess. And once it gets fixed, people will realize it wasnt even a good game in the first place.

For all the complaints over the years (from myself included), there are very few options for games like Elder Scrolls main games.

Not really that surprising that we haven't gotten much (if anything) new since. It was pretty clear that the trailer was basically just a statement of "we plan on this being a thing that exists at some point". IIRC, we knew that it was extremely early in development and that Starfield would come first.

As a side note: I remember people theorising that it would be subtitled Redfall, since Bethesda had trademarked the name around the same time.

Bethesda really has no incentive to actually make TES6 so long as they have healthy subscribers for TES Online, I’m not surprised at all the game has likely been put on ice until the next generation.

Fortunately Starfield looks amazing and will hopefully fill that void for most of us who want a single player experience.

Honestly, the amount of time it takes AAA titles like this to launch is crazy. Buuut if that's the price we pay for getting a finished, somewhat bug free experience, then so be it. I'd rather that that crunch leading to burnout and a product that gets rushed out to appease shareholders (stares in 2077).

That was such a weird thing to do, considering that Starfield isnt even out yet.

My guess it that TES6 won't be out for a good 6-7 years more.

I just realised the other day, that with the common definition that retro is older than the last two generations, Skyrim's original release is retro as it was a PS3 game originally....

Arena released in 1994.
Daggerfall 2 years later in 1996.
Morrowind in 2002, 6 years later.
Then Oblivion came in 2006, 4 years.
Skyrim was 2011, 5 years.
Now 12 years later, all we got is a 5 year old trailer and Todd once telling us they where still thinking aboht the setting.
Just let that sink in...

Talk about jumping the gun with that announcement. I'll honestly be a bit surprised if we see the game this decade.

When it actually releases I'm sure there will be tons of articles and news that it was rushed and is unfinished

Oh man. That just feels like yesterday. Still haven’t found any game that’s close to Skyrim. Only game I can think of that similar yet different in its own unique way that I absolutely love is Dragons Dogma. Can’t wait for Capcom to show more of DD2 on Monday!!

.... I'm starting to feel old. Was that really 5 years ago? The pandemic really screwed with my sense of time...

It was just an announcement. It is quite normal for huge AAA games to take more than 5 years to develop. Bethesda was and probably is not in full time production for TES 6. But sure time flies very fast and feel old now...

This seems on brand for elder scrolls

Coincidentally, Metroid Prime 4 announcement trailer is turning 5 on June 13th, although they did scrap everything and started over again. Let's just hope the games turns out great and the wait is worth it.

Xbox Games Showcase is on Sunday so hopefully we'll see new trailer or something

It's okay. We'll get Skyrim for the PS6.

Maybe by the time my son is old enough to play with me, lol

This trailer will be able to vote before the game releases.

With all the recent big releases crashing and burning lately I can't help but feel jaded by this. I guess we'll see how Starfield is at launch...

And starfield hasn’t even released yet cry at this rate the trailer will be as old as skyrim was at the time of the announcement before we get a release

That’s okay. Take your time, Bethesda, and give us an amazing TES6 whenever it’s ready.

Until then, to be fair, the modding community is still doing amazing things to TES5, so I’m okay to wait.

There was an announcement trailer? I tune all of it out until there's a release date, I didn't know a single thing about starfield until today. Looks rad, hopefully it delivers.

That TES Online trailer trolled me so hard when I watched the showcase, I thought it was Elder Scrolls 6 and I just forgot that game existed.

What 💀

Feels bad man :(

Gotta sympathize with people who were watching the Elder Scrolls Online trailer during the direct, thinking it might have been ESVI.

We will get it one day sigh

Five years, eh? Maybe I’ll make some room and re-install/re-mod Skyrim at some point in the summer. Haven’t touched it in, like, two years, but I’ve been kinda missing it. Or maybe I could try ESO again.

I feel like I keep getting little Elder Scrolls releases in the form of mods made my incredible, passionate mod developers. I find it so fascinating and wonderful to see people who care so much about making great content that they'll do it for free and it often turns out better than some professional teams could do.

I've been replaying Skyrim to teach myself German, but I'm also using quite a few mods, such as Inigo and Helgen Reborn. I also have some that take me to other lands. Some mods just increase graphics or change gameplay mechanics a bit. There's just so many amazing things people have made, it really keeps things fresh.

It'll be cool when the next game comes out, sure, but for now I can keep supporting mod creators and having a blast finding new things :)

So glad that other developers like Obsidian have stepped in to filled the Elder Scrolls and Fallout shaped holes in my chest

Something, something Metroid Prime 4 :(
