Honestly, as a huge Elder Scrolls fan, it’s gotten to the point where a lot of us are numb to the wait for The Elder Scrolls 6! We’ve been craving any news for so long that I think some players might not even know how to react when something official finally drops. Recently, Todd Howard from Bethesda Studios actually talked about the game, and he shared some unexpected details about how it’s coming along – but he also made an announcement about when we can expect it that’s really split the fanbase.
In a recent interview with KindaFunnyGames (posted on YouTube on February 18th), Todd Howard said that The Elder Scrolls 6 is still quite a ways off from release. This confirms what many fans already suspected – the game won’t be available for a long time. While some players are disappointed by this news, others believe it suggests the developers are taking the time to make the game truly great, as discussed on Reddit.
The Elder Scrolls 6 Is Going To Be “A While Yet”
So, I was listening to Todd Howard’s interview with KindaFunnyGames, and he dropped a few hints about The Elder Scrolls 6. It wasn’t the big focus of the chat, but he did talk about it a little. Sadly, if you’re hoping for a firm release date, it sounds like we’re still a long way off from playing it. He didn’t give us anything specific, unfortunately!
It’s not a shock, but many players are still disappointed to realize that The Elder Scrolls 6 isn’t coming out anytime soon. Some, like PkmnTrainerSofia, now believe the game won’t be released until 2028, which has been a rumor for a while now.
However, many other players believe the wait won’t be as long as suggested, noting that Todd Howard has made inaccurate predictions about release dates before. One player, Impressive_Cap_457, remembers Howard making a similar statement about Fallout 4 a year before its actual launch. This leads many to think that when Howard says “a while yet,” he might mean months rather than years.
This Isn’t The News We Were Hoping To Hear From Bethesda

Everyone hoping for a release date for The Elder Scrolls 6 during the interview was disappointed, but it wasn’t a total loss. Todd Howard did share that the game will be one of the first to use Bethesda’s new Creation Engine 3, which will power future Bethesda games.
Todd Howard recently shared that the team working on The Elder Scrolls 6 is about to reach a major internal goal. He also confirmed that everyone at the studio is currently focused on the game. However, despite the progress, a 2026 release for the highly anticipated The Elder Scrolls 6 doesn’t seem likely.
