Bethesda's Todd Howard has commented on 'The Elder Scrolls 6', which has seen little news since its 2018 announcement. He stated that the game "still has a long way to go" and expressed his hope that fans would not be too impatient.

This information comes from an interview published in the American men's magazine GQ on the 10th (local time). While the interview primarily focused on the Fallout animation released on the 11th, there were also questions and answers regarding The Elder Scrolls 6. According to the interview, Bethesda has recently been conducting playtests for The Elder Scrolls 6 to gather feedback. Additionally, Todd Howard mentioned that he is working on The Elder Scrolls 6 every day.

However, no new details about The Elder Scrolls 6 were revealed. Todd Howard remarked, "I love the idea of a surprise announcement followed by an immediate release. You wait a while, and then—poof—the game is just there." This brings to mind the shadow-dropped Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remaster. Regarding this, Howard replied, "You could say it was a test of sorts, and it went well."

In the interview, he mentioned that he likes to leave gaps between titles in a series to ensure that sequels are not just simple additions to their predecessors. Howard stated, "I acknowledge that the wait for The Elder Scrolls has been quite long. However, I wanted to try something new with Starfield. We needed a bit of a creative recharge."

The interview covered many other topics as well. Howard identified the highlights of his work as the opening of Fallout 3, the gunplay and gameplay of Starfield, the diverse landscapes of Fallout 76, and the atmosphere and freedom of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. Regarding how game development has evolved in the decade since Fallout 4, he replied that he always hopes to improve with every project and prefers to embrace challenges even when the desired results are not always achieved.
