Pack it up, it seems like we won't be seeing much of Elder Scrolls 6 in the next few years.

That’s insane. They announced it and did a weird flyover render thing a full 5+ years ago. What is even going on here.

From the article it seems like they were using all their resources on Starfield. I bet they didn't expect the game to take that long.

Games being announced way early for shorterm hype during E3 cycle.

And then there's Fallout 4 on the opposite end of the spectrum.

People keep giving Bethesda a pass for their nonsense, so they keep acting like clowns. Simple as.

@crowebear asking the real questions.

That's essentially what the episodes were. It was supposed to be revolutionary like 1, 2, and Alyx were. Episodic games were going to be the future of gaming for a hot minute.

Do you guys remember when we all thought Redfall was the subtitle for The Elder Scrolls 6? Heh, those were the days.

Looking back to November 2021, Spencer certainly hinted that Elder Scrolls 6 would be an Xbox exclusive without explicitly saying it.

I have been arguing this point with people since he made his statements, and got downvoted to hell for it. He has been explicit with other titles, so it's definitely notable that they weren't with this game. People just keep posting that article that claims it will be exclusive without providing any quotes to support it being definitive.
