It may have been seven years since Bethesda Game Studios announced *The Elder Scrolls 6*, but fans shouldn’t expect to see it anytime soon. According to Executive Producer Todd Howard, the game is still “a long way off,” even though it is now Bethesda’s primary focus.
Howard shared these insights during an interview with *GQ*, conducted as part of a retrospective on *Fallout 4*. When asked about the next *Elder Scrolls* game, he emphasized the importance of patience. “I’m preaching patience,” he said, after reiterating that the game remains far from release. “I don’t want fans to feel anxious.”
Despite the wait, Howard confirmed that *The Elder Scrolls 6* is actively being worked on daily at Bethesda Game Studios. In fact, an internal play test took place the day before the interview, highlighting the ongoing development efforts.
Looking ahead, Howard also shared his vision for how the game’s release might be handled. “I like to just announce stuff and release it,” he explained. “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 now, fans will have to continue exercising patience as Bethesda crafts the next chapter in the beloved *Elder Scrolls* saga.
