No New Elder Scrolls 6 Update After Years of Waiting
The Elder Scrolls VI fans remain disappointed following the recent Xbox Games Showcase. Bethesda did not reveal any updates for the upcoming title. TES 6 was first announced in 2018 with a brief teaser. Since then, Bethesda has shared no new details or trailers for the anticipated RPG. Fans continue to express growing frustration across Reddit and gaming forums.
Unless Bethesda unveils the game this year, TES 6 will reach its eighth anniversary of announcement without a single gameplay reveal. Fans have waited over six years for fresh information since the teaser dropped during E3 2018.
Community Responds with Sarcasm and Disappointment
The online reaction has been immediate and vocal. Redditor JojotheBoy26 posted, “Another year with no The Elder Scrolls VI update. Consider me a sad sorcerer.” Another user, buffysbangs, wrote, “I have zero expectations of another Elder Scrolls within my lifetime.”
The community’s disappointment was not limited to TES 6. User onestarv2 added, “No Halo, Fable or Perfect Dark,” although Xbox chief Phil Spencer teased a possible Halo return. Lymiss commented, “Yeah, I was hoping for something like ‘still being worked on’, but instead we got fishing in Fallout 76 and Worm Cult with mohawk kitty in The Elder Scrolls Online.”
Some tried to stay positive. Ryohazuki91 remarked, “We got the Oblivion remake, at least. So we’ll let ’em off this year.” However, most responses reflected impatience with Bethesda’s silence on the mainline Elder Scrolls title.

New Trailer Misses the Mark for The Elder Scrolls 6 Fans
Bethesda did release an Elder Scrolls trailer, but it was for an Elder Scrolls Online update. The new content, titled Seasons of the Worm Cult, is described as a sequel to the ESO base game’s questline. The expansion continues the main story with new and returning allies, featuring the Worm Cult’s resurgence on the isle of Solstice.
The update is now available via Steam and the Epic Store. Despite the announcement, the community’s main interest remains on TES 6. As expected, the ESO trailer sparked renewed criticism.
Elder Scrolls 6 Optimism Still Lingers Online
Despite the disappointment, some fans still hope for a reveal soon. With recent updates suggesting full production began in 2023, speculation is rising. Redditor TristanN7117 agreed with this logic. Another user referenced Todd Howard’s past comments that full production typically lasts 12 to 24 months.
If those timelines hold, development may now be nearing completion. Many fans believe Microsoft will soon push Bethesda to reignite hype following the Oblivion Remastered reveal. Animelover310 suggested the studio could mirror its 2018 event order. That showcase featured Fallout, Starfield, and TES VI content in sequence.

Daysofdre noted, “If it doesn’t happen this weekend, it could happen at the game awards.” ActAccomplished1289 added, “No gameplay trailer, but perhaps a title and location reveal.”
TES Community Continues to Wait
The Elder Scrolls community has waited over a decade since Skyrim’s release in 2011. The 2018 TES VI teaser built massive expectations. Since then, Bethesda shifted focus to Fallout 76, Starfield, and The Elder Scrolls Online.
TES VI’s development resumed in full force only in 2023. Fans should not expect a release before 2027, according to current timelines. Still, the demand for any new footage or detail remains high. Bethesda faces increasing pressure to update its player base.
The next major gaming events may offer another chance. Until then, the wait for TES VI continues with no confirmed gameplay or release date in sight.
