Todd Howard Hopes GTA 6 Launches Before The Elder Scrolls 6

Expert Verified By

The Earliest TES6 Could Release Is 2027, Or Even Later!

Story Highlight
  • Bethesda’s boss, Todd Howard, states that GTA 6 will release before Elder Scrolls 6.
  • He previously asked fans to be patient and believe in the studio with the sequel.
  • The RPG was announced in 2018, so it has been in development for over 7 years.

If it wasn’t already confirmed at this point, the Bethesda boss has reiterated that The Elder Scrolls 6 isn’t coming out anytime soon. Announced in 2018, the project has been in development for 7 years, with no release in sight. 

In a recent interview, Bethesda’s head was asked if he thinks GTA 6 or The Elder Scrolls 6 would come out first, to which he replied that he is hoping for the former. Rockstar’s flagship title is currently set for a November 2026 release. 

Why it matters: It has been so many years since the last mainline Elder Scrolls game came out, and fans have been yearning for more, but Bethesda is taking its sweet time with the development.

The Elder Scrolls 6 isn’t expected anytime before 2027

Power Unlimited asked Todd Howard about the two big franchises’ release window at the recent red carpet for Fallout season 2. He said he believes GTA 6 will come out next year and before The Elder Scrolls 6. 

I got my fingers crossed for GTA 6. I know the folks at Rockstar and I think they are some of the absolute best at bringing a virtual world to life

GTA 6 currently has a November 2026 release date 

This clearly suggests the earliest we can expect the game now is 2027, but it could be even later, based on the little to no information we currently have. Earlier this year, a job listing suggested it isn’t even in an alpha state yet. 

Nonetheless, Howard recently asked fans to believe in the studio and be patient. The game is rumored to have a Hammerfell setting, familiar to fans of the franchise. We do hope we get further information on the title next year.
