FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Starfield might be right around the corner, but that doesnt mean that gamers 
can expect to hear any updates about The Elder Scrolls 6 any time soon, 
according to Bethesdas head of publishing, Pete Hines. 

In a new interview with Vandal, Hines was asked if, following the release of 
Starfield , well be given any news about the highly anticipated new Elder 
Scrolls installment. In short, not for the foreseeable future. 

Lets see, over time, but in years to come, Hines told Vandal (translated from 
Spanish). We have made the focus of everything at all of our studios making [ 
Starfield ] the best it can possibly be. And yes, people are working on The 
Elder Scrolls 6 , but this is what the studio is focusing on. 

So no, no time soon are you going to be hearing anything at all about The 
Elder Scrolls 6 , he continued.  Starfield is our focus for now and will 
continue to be our focus for some time before we talk about anything else. 

Despite this claim, Hines did share one significant update about The Elder 
Scrolls 6 , and thats the fact that its left pre-production. It's in 
development, but it's in early development, Hines clarified. 

 The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced half a decade ago in 2018 (yes, that was 
five years ago, sorry), and Bethesda hasnt given any confirmation as to when 
we can expect the title to release. Given Hines latest claim, it doesnt seem 
like its going to happen any time soon. 

However, it certainly sounds like Starfield will help keep us busy in the 
meantime. Hines himself recently said that after around 150-160 hours of 
playtime, he still hasnt come close to completing all of its content. Prepare 
yourself for a hefty backlog, then.
