Bethesda reassures fans The Elder Scrolls 6 is “on the way” following the Xbox cuts, and that it’s “loving how it looks” and “playing it every day”
Bethesda Game Studios has issued a statement to reassure fans about The Elder Scrolls 6, confirming development is progressing as planned despite recent Xbox-wide layoffs. In an official note, the studio stated that “the next chapter is on the way” and that the team is “loving how it looks, and playing it every day.”
The developer emphasized that The Elder Scrolls 6 remains the studio’s primary focus, with the majority of its team actively working on the franchise’s next installment. The statement acknowledged the lengthy wait for a sequel, noting that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim continues to attract players 15 years after its release, with over 65 million copies sold worldwide.
Bethesda’s reassurance appears designed to address concerns among fans following recent Xbox layoffs and organizational changes that have affected the broader Microsoft gaming division. By reaffirming commitment to The Elder Scrolls 6 and emphasizing active development progress, the studio sought to demonstrate that the highly anticipated sequel remains on track.
The announcement does not provide a specific release timeline for The Elder Scrolls 6, continuing the franchise’s tradition of carefully managing expectations around launch dates.
