It appears that the wait for gamers might not actually stretch into the next decade.
Discussion surrounding The Elder Scrolls VI has recently resurfaced, this time sparked by comments from industry insider Kiwi Talkz.
He suggests that the next chapter in the Elder Scrolls saga might follow a path similar to that of the long-awaited Metroid Prime 4:
[…] Bethesda is avoiding even a tentative release window because, quite frankly, it would do more harm than good—particularly since the game was unveiled far too early. My personal view is that TES VI will follow the trajectory of Metroid Prime 4: it will sell exceptionally well, but may fail to garner universal acclaim and will likely trigger heated debates among the fanbase.
Regarding the potential launch timeframe for The Elder Scrolls VI, he noted:
Do not expect to see The Elder Scrolls VI before 2028, and there is a high probability that the release will be pushed back as far as 2029.
