Xbox's reported plan to 'move faster' on major franchises could see Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls 6 arrive earlier than expected, according to a new report on the company's strategy under CEO Asha Sharma that has begun to terrify fans worried about the state the game might launch in.
Anticipation around The Elder Scrolls 6 has curdled into a kind of weary superstition. The game was first teased back in 2018, then essentially vanished while Bethesda focused on Starfield. At this month's Xbox Games Showcase, the long‑awaited return to Tamriel was absent yet again, despite rampant speculation. Earlier this year, Xbox content chief Matt Booty dampened expectations further, indicating it would be some time before players saw anything meaningful of the sequel.
