We already know that The Elder Scrolls 6 is the game coming after Starfield: Todd Howard confirmed it when Starfield was announced in 2018. But in an interview with Spanish site
Vandal (
Google translated), Bethesda head of publishing Pete Hines suggested that fans not start holding their breaths waiting for it, because it will be "years later" before news on the game starts to flow.
"We have all of our studios focused on making [Starfield] the best it can be," Hines said. "And yes, there are people working on The Elder Scrolls 6, but this is what the studio is focused on. So no, at no point early are you going to hear about The Elder Scrolls 6 ... Starfield is our focus for now, and it's going to remain our priority for a while before we talk about anything else."
Hines did say, however, that The Elder Scrolls 6 is no longer in "pre-production," as Todd Howard described it last year: "It's in development, but it's in early development."
