One of the most anticipated games in the gaming world, The Elder Scrolls 6, has been a subject of great curiosity since it was announced with just a logo in 2018. There had been silence about the development process of this new game, which will follow the legendary Skyrim, for a long time. Especially the fact that Bethesda's last major production, Starfield, did not fully meet the expectations of some players caused the eyes to be turned to this iconic series again. However, now, a small detail from Bethesda has raised hopes that the wait is nearing its end.
LinkedIn Leak Signals End of 2020s
Thanks to the watchful eyes of Twitter user Timur222, a LinkedIn profile has Elder Scrolls 6 fans excited. The profile features a Bethesda developer who lists past projects as Fallout 76 and Starfield. But what really draws attention is that the current project is listed as “202X – Unannounced.” While it doesn’t directly mention Elder Scrolls 6, Bethesda doesn’t currently have any other major projects publicly announced.
This development is being interpreted as one of the first concrete signs that Elder Scrolls 6 could finally be released towards the end of 2020. Almost six years have passed since the announcement in 2018, and even E3, one of the major events in the gaming world, is now history. So while the game's official release date is still a complete mystery, this detail on the LinkedIn profile stands out as one of the rare clues that clarifies the timeline.
Bethesda Shifts Focus Back to Original Brands
Bethesda has been the focus of criticism recently after Starfield fell short of expectations. The studio’s renewed focus on its long-standing and beloved franchises, Fallout and Elder Scrolls, is seen as a strategic move for future projects. A major release, especially one like Elder Scrolls 6, is thought to have the potential to revitalize the brand and renew player trust.
Eyes on Major Events: Anticipation for Official Announcement Increases
Although this LinkedIn leak is not an official announcement, it is considered a promising development for the series’ loyal fans. The curious eyes of the gaming world are now turning to major gaming events like Xbox Games Showcase and Gamescom. Perhaps the official details and release date that have been awaited for over five years will finally be shared on these platforms. But for now, even the mention of “202X” on the developer profile is considered an exciting enough sign for many Elder Scrolls fans, increasing the possibility that the wait will bear fruit.
