The Elder Scrolls 6 just hit a heartbreaking milestone

This one hurts

The Elder Scrolls VI has officially reached a very specific milestone… and not the good kind of milestone.

Skyrim was six years, seven months and three days old when at the time of The Elder Scrolls VI’s announcement.

And now, as of today, the announcement for The Elder Scrolls VI is also 2,403 days old. Tomorrow, Bethesda’s announcement of the game will be older than Skyrim was when the first (and only) teaser trailer for The Elder Scrolls VI was revealed.

Feel old and/or heartbroken yet? Don’t worry, you’re not the only one.

Take a look at the original teaser below.

In a thread in the r/TESVI subreddit where this upsetting revelation was first noted, several users chimed in with their responses to the news.

“I joked at the time that I'd probably be dead by the time VI launched,” commented user Woodburygooner, “I now regret saying it, as it might actually be a thing.”

“I don’t even get the point of that teaser. It just had a camera pan across a countryside,” replied user ShawnyMcKnight.

“I’m in my 40s and I’m getting to the point where I’m curious at how many Elder Scrolls and GTA games I’ll have in my life time. I suspect I won’t live to see number nine of these franchises.”

I think we can all agree at this point that that infamous teaser trailer was shown a little too early, but this really puts it all into perspective.

Now it’s not all Bethesda’s fault, really. COVID has obviously impacted the development of the game.

And we all know we’d rather receive a fully realised, fleshed-out game on release, as opposed to a buggy, unpolished mess.

But still, jeez. People are seriously losing it over the lack of updates. Literally anything at this point would satiate folks. A trailer, a screenshot - even the official title. Anything.

Here’s hoping we hear something at any point in the next decade.
