Elder Scrolls 6 release date revelation has fans terrified by march of time

A whole lot of life has happened

I’m not telling you anything new when I say that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim launched on 11 November, 2011.

That’s a long time ago.

I don’t want to alarm you because, trust me, I too have had days where I panic about my age and where I am in life, but time constantly marches on whether we want it to or not.

The coming of The Elder Scrolls VI is really putting that into perspective for many people.

While we don’t know exactly when The Elder Scrolls VI is due to land, it’ll likely be in the next year or two.

But just the sheer fact that Skyrim landed almost 14 years ago has led many fans to reflect on just how much their life has changed between now and then.

It was 2018 when The Elder Scrolls VI’s first teaser trailer dropped.

I’m pretty sure I’d just started high school in 2011 and while I don’t have any significant personal milestones to reflect on, it is weird to think that here I am now, reporting on the games I used to play as a kid as an adult.

Reddit user 233gamerdad had this to say: “A wife and three kids later...Elder Scrolls VI isn't out. How has life been for you?”

“Damn, it's really been 14 years? I remember where I was when Skyrim hit. Living in my gran's old house when my mom kicked me out. I had a PS3 hooked up to one of those fat TVs that weighed a ton. Working at a grocery store with cheap pants and my loud Honda with the cracked engine and gorilla tape holding up the front bumper,” began Vysce.

“Now I'm far away, completely self-sufficient, and my biggest victory is being able to look in the mirror and acknowledge I'm worth something. Here's hoping Bethesda has a treat for us.”

Good for you, man.

“I was in middle school, about to turn 13. Since then I’ve lost a parent, graduated high school and college, got engaged, started my career and am beginning my master’s soon. It’s strange how far away 2011 is but how timeless Skyrim feels to this day. I really hope VI is released before I have a kid,” added nat787.

“I’ve lived in three countries, completely changed my career, quit smoking, gotten married and had two kids since Skyrim,” wrote sauvignonsucks.

This is why gaming is special.

Sometimes it’s not about the games at all; it’s about the sense of community.

And sure, the passage of time is scary, but isn’t it nice that those who played the game 14 years ago are still communicating now and celebrating each other's successes and growth?

I think that’s pretty neat.
