The Elder Scrolls 6: Next News Will Likely Be 'Years From Now'

Don't expect details on The Elder Scrolls VI until "years from now", according to Bethesda senior vice president Pete Hines. Responding to a tweet asking for information about the next-gen game, Hines was unequivocal, making clear that news on the still fairly unknown Starfield is coming well before anything on Elder Scrolls:

It’s after Starfield, which you pretty much know nothing about. So if you’re coming at me for details now and not years from now, I’m failing to properly manage your expectations.

We already knew not to expect Starfield or Elder Scrolls 6 news this year so it'll likely be some time before we hear anything about either game. Bethesda won't be holding a digital replacement for E3 this year, but it does plan to deliver news on Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo in some form. After being teased at E3 2018, neither Starfield or Elder Scrolls 6 have release windows as of yet, and a recent job listing for the latter could suggest that development on Elder Scrolls 6 has only recently begun in earnest. We might not have been told too much about the follow-up to Skyrim, but here's everything we can speculate on about its release date, gameplay and more.
