The Elder Scrolls franchise has flourished over the past three decades. The first game, The Elder Scrolls: Arena, launched on March 25, 1994, captivating players with its immersive worlds and compelling narratives. Notably, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, released in 2011, remains a monumental success, having sold over 60 million copies worldwide.

Bethesda first announced The Elder Scrolls 6 at the E3 in 2018. Fans of the series around the globe have since eagerly anticipated the game. Despite initial excitement, the fantasy RPG took a backseat to Bethesda's sci-fi venture, Starfield. Starfield launched last September after several delays, and the attention has shifted back to The Elder Scrolls 6. 

With Starfield now launched, The Elder Scrolls 6 is poised to be Bethesda's next big RPG release. Bethesda has not revealed details of the release date or the release windows.
