There is At Least A Little Hope Elder Scrolls 6 Will Pop Up at the Xbox Games Showcase

Summary

An insider hints at a possible appearance of The Elder Scrolls 6 at the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8.
There have been limited updates on The Elder Scrolls 6 development since 2018.

An insider has given a reason why a surprise appearance from The Elder Scrolls 6 isn’t totally out of the question. The Xbox Games Showcase will take place on June 8, and a glimpse at The Elder Scrolls 6 would certainly be a guaranteed way to make headlines.

It has been almost seven years now since The Elder Scrolls 6 was first revealed with a vague cinematic trailer. No location for the game was confirmed at the time, indicating it was still at the earlier stages of development. Since then, Bethesda has remastered The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion and launched an entirely new IP in Starfield. Despite this, there has been very little news on The Elder Scrolls 6 beyond occasional confirmations that it’s still in development, but no trailers since 2018.

If The Elder Scrolls Ever Gets a Movie Adaptation, One Setting is a Given

There is one ideal Elder Scrolls setting to adapt for film, but that choice brings both opportunity and responsibility.

In an episode of the Xbox Two podcast, insider and journalist Jez Corden spoke of the possibility of The Elder Scrolls 6 appearing at the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase on June 8, hinting that it isn’t totally out of the question, stating, “Elder Scrolls 6 is kind of a ‘pie in the sky’ kind of thing but you never know man, you never know… The reason I wanted to predict that [Elder Scrolls 6 appearing] is because I’ve started hearing rumors about the game. Which suggests to me that more people at Microsoft are privy to it, you know. Which suggested to me that maybe there’s a trailer going around internally.”

Corden does point out that “it’s not exactly unheard of for Microsoft to demonstrate games internally but not show them to the public.” So, while it’s not out of the question that The Elder Scrolls 6 will appear, it can’t be called likely by any stretch of the imagination. Still, considering The Elder Scrolls 6 is one of the RPGs gamers are most excited for at the moment, this news could stir some excitement among fans.

Whenever The Elder Scrolls 6 does release, it’s sure to be an enormous hit. The recent success of Oblivion Remastered has shown that the Elder Scrolls brand is stronger than ever, despite having no mainline release in almost 14 years. For now, fans will have to exercise even more patience until Bethesda is ready to reveal the game, which hopefully will come sooner rather than later.
