It's coming!!

Also relevant: Jeremy Soule had this to say about the teaser music:

Jeremy Soule 3 hrs·

While I appreciate all the questions about TES VI, I can’t comment about the game. I can only confirm that I didn’t produce the music heard in the teaser that was released today.

Obviously very hyped for this! I bet we are looking at 2020 though at the minimum

Love Soule's music but his Kickstarter campaign left a bitter taste in my mouth so if they're dropping him maybe they've had similar experiences working with him. To be fair he doesn't say he's not doing the music for the game, just not for that teaser.

I'll be happy to see the end of the civil war and dragon born story line, it was such a disappointment.

I just hope it's more Oblivion than Skyrim.

Can't wait. Poured hours into Skyrim and enjoyed it immensely

No doubt featuring the new Elder Royale mode

I doubt we'll see it before 2020 so not getting too excited

It was the same type of trailer as Starfield, and they said that is a title for the next gen basically. Just to shut people up

That quote doesn't mean he isn't on the project - fairly stock response if under NDA. (Doesn't mean he is but under NDA either).

Hope it's going to be like Skyrim. So stoked..

True, but usually under NDA you wouldn't mention who does what this early in development, you would let the studio be the spokesperson. Maybe he got permission to go public about that, or maybe he hasn't signed any contract yet. The response that statement gives off is that he isn't included in the project at this stage, and is that what Bethesda want people to perceive? I doubt it.

The Jeremy Soule quote to me confirms he is working on TES6. If he wasn't involved, he'd just say he has no involvement. The can't comment, implies he can't comment

Yay! something to look forwards to.

According to Eurogamer they say it won't come out until AFTER Starfield which is a new IP that they believe is a nextgen title. I'm seriously not expecting this until 2022 at the earliest.

Zethor · 11 Jun 2018 at 12:55

I'll skip this if it's another Skyrim reskin (like Fallout 4) with no significant gameplay improvements.

If it was that far away, they wouldn't announce it in 2018.

omnomnom · 11 Jun 2018 at 13:05

They haven't even started it have they? I agree with 2022, maybe even 2023.

Well normally they don't announce anything until it's coming out that year, but this is different. They've been hounded about ES6 for years and they know fans are getting impatient. They've repeatedly said in interviews that ES6 is a long way off and that they're waiting on technology to realise their vision. They've stressed it repeatedly that it's not happening because they have other things they want to work on before it.

IMO the reason they showed this non-trailer was a way of shielding themselves from the flack for the mobile Elder Scrolls Blades game they announced. In the presentation you could hear the crowd getting restless everytime he said Elder Scrolls and he even started looking nervous. They knew this would happen and that's why they announced the game this early.

Sold if it's anything like Skyrim.

Do we have any idea is it 2019 or 2023 etc.?

I think 2021 is the most likely. No chance before 2020. As has been mentioned, they've not even started it apparently, and it's going to be released after Starfield which from the sounds of it is 2-3 years away

I hope so too. I've replayed Oblivion numerous times, Skyrim only once.

This could launch with the next generation of consoles.
