Five years have passed since 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elder Scrolls 6 was first unveiled, and still the sequel is🌠 no✃where to be seen.

We got our first glimpse of Elde🥃r Scrolls 6 in a teaser all the way back in June 2018, which at just 30 seconds in length, featured only the game's title and a mountaino𝄹us landscape. As Twitter user @CortanaV recently pointed out, this short clip is now officially celebrating its fifth birthday. "I set a reminder on my calendar," says CortanaV. "It was actually June 10 but I'm the only one keeping track."

It certainly seems as though Be🃏thesda has lost track of time, as we've only had a smattering of updates on the Skyrim sequel since that announcement, none of w🐈hich give us hope that we'll be playing it anytime soon. 

Last year, when asked about a potential release window, Bethesda's Todd Howard replied, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"I wish it was soon". Then in January 2022, a LinkedIn profile suggested that the title was still in ꦏpre-production, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Howard confirmed as ♍much in an interview a few months later. "Yes, Elder Scrolls 6 is in pre-production and, you know, we're going to be doing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fallout 5 after that, so our slate's pretty full going forward fౠor a while," Howard said.

Due to Bethesda's current focus on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield and the company's four-to-five-year development period for game𓆏s, it's likely that we won't see Elder Scrolls 6 until at least 2027, which by then would be 16 years after Skyrim's🅷 initial release.

As for Starfield, it's set to launch on September 6, and as part of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:E3 2023 schedule, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft is hosting a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:livestream dedicated solely to the ambitious space-faring RPG, which kicks off right after the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Games Showcase this Sunday.
