Bethesda’s Todd Howard has revealed during a roundtable interview that the “majority of this building “ is now working on The Elder Scrolls VI, and admitted it’s great to come back to the franchise after working on Fallout and Starfield in recent years.
The majority of this building is working on The Elder Scrolls 6. It’s amazing for us to come back to it. I gotta be honest, right? Being in that world after not developing in Elder Scrolls – it’s so different than Starfield, so different than Fallout – it feels great for us.
We feel we’re in a really good place with these franchises. Obviously, we’re around Fallout stuff as well, and we feel good about that. The trick is still we have three big audiences, and in some ways, three big franchises – and in a lot of ways, the franchise is the studio. Skyrim is somewhat the sequel to Fallout 3. Fallout 4 is somewhat our follow-up to Skyrim.
“They’re very different vibes, and they’re different vibes to develop,” Howard continued. With The Elder Scrolls, he said “there’s something very romantic” regarding the fantasy setting and the feeling it evokes of a “world that you feel you can almost step out into.”
The Elder Scrolls VI was announced at E3 2018 and we’ve seen nothing but a logo since then, and the project still has no concrete release date. Speaking with Game Informer in December 2025, Howard revealed that development of the high anticipated fantasy RPG is progressing well, with the majority of Bethesda now working on the project.
More recently, the Bethesda Game Studios executive revealed on the Kinda Funny Games Podcast that The Elder Scrolls VI will be more of a “classic” Bethesda title.
