Multiple outlets report that “The Elder Scrolls 6” remains years away from release. Citing comments shared during a Bloomberg Live Q&A, journalist Jason Schreier is described as saying the next Bethesda open-world RPG is “two to three years away at least.” The reports also note earlier claims that the game is in a playable state, but suggest that any expectation of a near-term release has not materialized.
Metro further links the delay to pressure on Bethesda Game Studios amid Xbox layoffs, implying that internal staffing changes and the broader organizational impact affect development timelines. Push Square and Vice frame the same core timing information—two to three additional years—while emphasizing that the public view of progress may be more optimistic than the current schedule.
None of the sources provide a specific release date, and all present the information as coming from insider reporting rather than an official Bethesda or Microsoft announcement. The common takeaway is that players should expect a later launch window than some prior speculation indicated.
