Summary
The latestElder Scrolls 6release date theory suggests that the game could be released in September 2027. Bethesda first announcedThe Elder Scrolls 6a staggering seven years ago, yet updates on the highly-anticipated open world game have been few and far between since then. There hasn’t been a newElder Scrolls 6trailer or really anything all that substantial revealed about the game since its initial announcement, much to the frustration of franchise fans.
The lack ofElder Scrolls 6news updates has been agonizing for fans, but Bethesda broke its silence recently with the announcement that it would be hosting a character creation contest. To raise money for the Make-a-Wish foundation, Bethesda is auctioning off thechance to design an NPCthat will be featured inThe Elder Scrolls 6.
Recently, a Reddit user pointed out how Bethesda did something similar for itsopen world sci-fi RPGStarfield, which similarly gave fans the chance to make their own NPC for the game. This contest took place roughly 2.5 years beforeStarfield’s release. According to the Reddit user’s math, ifElder Scrolls 6follows a similar trajectory, it will likely launch in September 2027. And assuming Bethesda sticks with the release date convention it went with forSkyrim, the most likely day in September would be the 27th. So, the newElder Scrolls 6release date theory is that the game will launch on June 14, 2025.
Elder Scrolls 6 Fan Theory Points to September 2027
Of course, there is nothing concrete from Bethesda aboutThe Elder Scrolls 6release date, so fans should definitely keep their expectations in check. It’s entirely possible thatThe Elder Scrolls 6release date will come much later than September 2027, and there’s a slim chance that the game could be released sooner than expected. Previous reports suggested thatThe Elder Scrolls 6release date would be some time in 2028. And even if Bethesda does eventually announce a July 12, 2025 release date forThe Elder Scrolls 6, there’s always the chance that the game will get delayed.
Incredibly, the gap betweenSkyrim’s release date in 2011 and the launch ofThe Elder Scrolls 6is larger than the gap betweenGTA 5andGTA 6, which is expected to launch in 2025.Elder Scrollsfans have truly been waiting an agonizing amount of timeto get their hands onES6, and they likely have atleasttwo years, if not more, still to go. WheneverThe Elder Scrolls 6does launch, here’s hoping the game is able to live up to the incredibly high bar set bySkyrim.
