[Six years ago](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkFdqqyI8y4&t=31s&ref=aftermath.site), Bethesda announced *The Elder Scrolls VI*, a logo that may or may not have a game attached. I [blogged about it](https://kotaku.com/bethesda-announces-elder-scrolls-vi-1826718022?ref=aftermath.site) at the time. Let’s go through my post line by line and see if my predictions came true:

“It was just a brief teaser that showed a large landscape, and Todd Howard implied it’ll be coming after single-player sci-fi RPG *Starfield*, which he announced seconds beforehand.”

*Starfield* is out! *The Elder Scrolls VI* is not, though it is apparently out of pre-production and in “early development” [as of last year](https://www.pcgamer.com/the-elder-scrolls-6-is-out-of-pre-production-but-pete-hines-says-it-will-be-years-before-we-start-hearing-about-it/?ref=aftermath.site). Recent comments on the teaser trailer, which has been viewed over 18 million times, celebrate its six-year anniversary. Sort of. “This is like releasing a teaser for *Morrowind* in 1985,” reads one.

Assuming *The Elder Scrolls VI* comes out during my lifetime, I’m gonna say I was technically correct here.

“If I had to guess, *Elder Scrolls VI* will almost certainly be on the next generation of consoles. So you know, get excited about that – and then stow that excitement away like a squirrel hiding acorns in a tree trunk, preparing for a long, cold, *Elder-Scrolls*\-less winter.”

Past Nathan really loved tortured metaphors, but that’s beside the point. One could read this portion of my old blog and come away thinking I completely missed the mark. After all, what are the odds that *The Elder Scrolls VI* comes out on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S? Seems highly unlikely, given that the now-current console generation has been around for several years, and I sincerely doubt we’ll see Bethesda’s next fantasy opus until *at least* 2026 – probably later.

But consider: Which “next” generation of consoles was I referring to? Gave myself a pretty easy out here, and I’m gonna take it. Once again, technically correct.

“Or, you know, just play *Elder Scrolls: Blades* to tide yourself over.”

Damn, I completely forgot that *The Elder Scrolls: Blades* existed.
