It may have been seven years since Bethesda Game Studios announced *The Elder Scrolls 6*, but fans shouldn’t expect to see it any time soon. According to Executive Producer Todd Howard, the game is still “a long way off,” even though it has now become Bethesda’s primary focus.
Howard shared these insights during an interview with *GQ* for a retrospective on *Fallout 4*, where the topic of the next *Elder Scrolls* game naturally came up. “I’m preaching patience,” he said, emphasizing that the game is still far from release. “I don’t want fans to feel anxious.”
Despite the wait, Howard confirmed that *The Elder Scrolls 6* is being worked on daily at Bethesda Game Studios. In fact, an internal playtest was conducted just the day before the interview, signaling ongoing development progress.
Discussing the eventual release, Howard explained his ideal approach: “I like to just announce stuff and release it. My perfect version—and I’m not saying this is going to happen—is that it’s going to be a while and then, one day, the game will just appear.”
For fans eager to dive back into the world of *The Elder Scrolls*, it seems patience will continue to be key as Bethesda carefully crafts the next chapter in the beloved franchise.
