We might have actually done from the last Space Shuttle flight (July 8, 2011) to the first noon landing since Apollo (2025-2026) before ESVI is released.
Haha that puts it into a crazy perspective, who knows maybe we'll even have the start of a human colony on mars by the time ESVI is out.
Not that elder scrolls 6 has been in development for 12 years. The long wait is for other reasons like prioritizing other games, not actual development time.
