The highly anticipated release of The Elder Scrolls VI is still at least five years away, according to Xbox boss Phil Spencer. In an interview with IGN, Spencer revealed that the game is so far in development that it’s difficult to predict which platforms it will be available on when it finally launches.
“As I said with Elder Scrolls 6, it’s so far away that it’s hard to understand what the platforms will be at this point. It’s the same team that’s finishing Starfield, which is coming out in September, so we’re talking that it’s probably more than five years away,” Spencer stated.
This news comes amidst an ongoing lawsuit between Activision Blizzard/Xbox and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which has been providing intriguing details about the gaming industry. The lawsuit revolves around the issue of console exclusivity, with Xbox being accused of making The Elder Scrolls VI exclusive to their platform.
Spencer’s reluctance to disclose the platforms for the game is likely due to the ongoing legal battle. However, this means that fans of The Elder Scrolls franchise will have to wait even longer for the highly anticipated sequel. With at least five years until its release, it will be a decade since the official reveal of The Elder Scrolls VI.
The Elder Scrolls series, known for its immersive open-world gameplay and rich storytelling, has garnered a massive following over the years. The previous installment, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, was released in 2011 and has since become a beloved classic in the gaming community.
While the news of the extended wait may disappoint fans, it also raises anticipation for what the future holds for The Elder Scrolls VI. With the same team behind the highly anticipated Starfield, which is set to release in September, players can expect a meticulously crafted and immersive experience when the game finally arrives.
As the legal battle continues, gamers will eagerly await further updates on The Elder Scrolls VI and its eventual release. Until then, fans can immerse themselves in the vast world of Skyrim and speculate on what awaits them in the next installment of this beloved franchise.
What factors contribute to the extended wait for the release of The Elder Scrolls VI?
Exciting news for fans of The Elder Scrolls franchise! The highly anticipated release of The Elder Scrolls VI may be further away than expected.

What’s interesting is that Spencer also mentioned that it’s difficult to predict which platforms The Elder Scrolls VI will be available on when it finally releases.
