All of us are to blame for Bethesda announcing The Elder Scrolls 6 so early, apparently
Bruce Nesmith, a retired Bethesda Games Designer, believes Todd Howard only agreed to announce Elder Scrolls 6 because of the pressure they were receiving from fans.
In 2018, Bethesda revealed in an announcement teaser video for Elder Scrolls 6 with a comment saying ES6 was now in the pre-production phase. Since this teaser, fans have been not-so-eagerly waiting to hear when ES6 will actually be released or if any tidbits are floating around about the story or gameplay.
