Elder Scrolls 6 trailer slammed as mistake by Bethesda fans

Bethesda faces the anger of fans once more

Did Bethesda make a mistake with The Elder Scrolls VI trailer? Fans believe so.

In 2018, The Elder Scrolls fandom was treated to a teaser for The Elder Scrolls VI, arguably one of the most anticipated games of the series.

Unfortunately, since that time Bethesda has been upsettingly quiet about the title.

So much so that fans are starting to question their own mortality as they continue to sit and wait for a game that feels like it’ll never launch.

Time for some funny wins and epic fails from Skyrim

Naturally, with so many displeased by the premature reveal, fans are taking their gripes to Reddit.

On The Elder Scrolls VI subreddit, user DimesBlacktoothgrin asked, “Do you guys feel like Bethesda overplayed their hands?”

It’s such a loaded question, and therefore, there are plenty of loaded answers.

The general consensus, though, is that Bethesda was forced into the reveal to appease the fandom.

“They announced it early because people kept asking if it was going to happen at all,” argued one fan.

To which another said, “Their issue was f**king off and doing nothing with the IP for so damn long. No, ESO doesn't count, for obvious reasons.”

Elsewhere, others blamed Bethesda’s Todd Howard for his "passion project”, aka Starfield, becoming the next experience the publisher dedicated its resources to.

Although most of the commentary from fans is negative, there are a handful of would-be players grateful that Bethesda is taking its time.

“I for one am glad that Bethesda isn't some studio that churns out a new, uninspired sequel every few years like Call of Duty,” shared CptDecaf, “I didn't even like Starfield but I'm glad they were able to work on something they wanted to.”

Debates regarding this game are rife everywhere, and not simply due to its early teaser.

Gamers are also uncertain whether The Elder Scrolls VI should launch on PlayStation.

However, it would seem that decision doesn’t rest with them, for rumour has it that it'll definitely launch on the PlayStation 5.

We just hope that when it does finally launch, or indeed when we get a proper trailer, less discourse will ensue.

It’s unlikely, but we’ve got to hope; it’s all we have left.
