Despite the game being years away, fans are already trying to visualise what The Elder Scrolls VI will look like, and are expecting some big changes compared to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
The Elder Scrolls VI is now in full development at Bethesda. It was said the game would become the developer’s main focus following the release of Starfield, which will eventually be put on the backburner following a series of post-launch updates and the upcoming DLC expansion.
Take a look at Starfield below.

While fans are still a bit salty over how early the game was announced, the teaser of which lives rent free in the minds of many players, most are now content the game is finally on the horizon, even though it’ll be a good few years before we can get our hands on it.
Speculation has run wild on what features the game might include, spurred on by promises from Bethesda’s own Todd Howard, who’s confident the game will keep players interested for at least a decade.
Elder Scrolls fan EvenAH27 said, “A new Elder Scrolls experience is unfathomable” to them, largely because they have “literally NO IDEA what to expect” from the game given the massive gap between it and Skyrim. The first release of Skyrim was in 2011 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC if you want to feel old.
However, despite that gap most fans are convinced the game will closely resemble Skyrim in terms of identity and gameplay. One fan said all Elder Scrolls games have had an “obvious shared DNA” and doesn't believe The Elder Scrolls VI will be any different.
Another added the game will “resemble” Skyrim heavily, but “also have its own uniqueness.” Finally one fan claimed, “Bethesda doesn’t seem to have evolved much between Skyrim and Starfield,” and is expecting another safe, but fun, RPG experience.
The release date for The Elder Scrolls VI is currently unknown at the time of writing, though it will launch on Xbox Series X/S, PC and maybe PlayStation 5, though that’s unconfirmed.
