Jason Schreier Says The Elder Scrolls VI Is More Than 2 Years Away
Schreier says the 2018 reveal was meant to reassure fans after Fallout 76's multiplayer pivot, not suggest The Elder Scrolls VI was close.
Jason Schreier says The Elder Scrolls VI remains more than 2 years from release. He also says Bethesda announced it alongside Starfield in 2018 to reassure fans after Fallout 76 was presented as a multiplayer game, signaling that single-player titles were still on the way.
Schreier’s account frames the teaser as reassurance, not a sign that the RPG was close to launch. Eight years after the reveal, his estimate still puts release more than 2 years away.
Jason shreier: think a lot of people forget that TES6 was only announced in 2018 (along with Starfield) to soften the blow of Fallout 76 — "Don't worry, even though we're making a multiplayer game we've got single-player stuff coming too!" Sorry to say this game is still more than 2 years away

In a March IGN interview, Todd Howard gave a separate, broader explanation for Bethesda’s early reveals. He said studios sometimes need to inform audiences and cited business considerations that can lead to showing a game before it is close to playable. Howard also said he would prefer announcements closer to when players can play. His comments address why Bethesda may reveal projects early, while Schreier’s post points to the specific context around the 2018 pairing.
