The next instalment in The Elder Scrolls series has received no further updates since its initial announcement in 2018. Since Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda, the future of the series is still unclear, especially in regards to its appearance on systems outside of the Xbox family.
The studio director Todd Howard believes The Elder Scrolls VI could still be multi-platform as it would be “hard to imagine” it tied to one specific platform.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer also stated that the deal was “not done to take games away” from other players, adding to the theory that its release could still be multi-platform.
