Details are starting to emerge for The Elder Scrolls VI, albeit via leaks coming from insiders close to Bethesda.

We reported earlier on the leak that came from YouTuber eXtas1s that detailed shipbuilding, sailing the seas, underwater exploration, and improved combat.

With so much information leaking, it makes us wonder if we’re a lot closer to launch than we first thought.

If we keep in mind that The Elder Scrolls VI was first announced at E3 in 2018, Bethesda has had many years to start cooking, even with the launch of Starfield along the way.

It’s pure speculation, but Bethesda will have been working on the game for the past seven years, so it’s no surprise that the game would be quite far along in production.

Among the details leaked, not only do we get an idea of how the world will be explored, but we’ve heard that there will be 12-13 big cities, along with the return of dragons as fearsome enemies to conquer.

The game could be shown this summer, according to the leak, which might mean it will headline Summer Games Fest.

Reported over on Reddit, fans are, of course, excited and happy to hear more, even if some of the information should be taken with a pinch of salt.

While some fans are quick to say this could just be the wishlist of a player, others are eager to believe the hype.

“Very down for some AC Black Flag in my Elder Scrolls if that’s the case,” said one player.

For now, we’re going to be waiting on the appearance of Todd Howard walking onto a stage and pointing at a big screen.

Let’s hope this happens later in the year, and we get a firm date for when Bethesda will finally launch the next instalment in the RPG series.
