Wow - No ES6 news AT ALL?
I've been perusing the press announcements from the Bethesda E3 event.
News about ESO, Legends and Skyrim remastered. ZERO discussion of ES6.
Could it be that we simply won't be seeing it for many more years, if ever????

TES6 is coming next year? I must have missed that.
Ah, ok. I was actually hoping you were serious
Make that at least 2025 or so. Starfield is probably their game for the 2017-2020 release date range, Fallout 5 is likely their game for the 2020-2025 range, and TES VI is maybe their 2025-2030-ish game (unless they do Starfield 2 first, then it would be 2028-2035). It sounds like the plan for TES VI is to feature the entire Iliac Bay complete with sailable ships, seasonal foliage and a fully voiced protagonist across all ten playable races, or maybe something close in ambition in other ways. Todd Howard mentioned he'd like to see Daggerfall and Sentinel (the capitals of High Rock and Hammerfell respectively) in modern visuals, which hints at the idea that they want to feature High Rock and Hammerfell in the same game, which would be a pretty big workload even if they don't do a voiced protagonist.
TES VI is in some form of development/pre-production (and pretty much has been since at least Skyrim's Game Jam session), they just don't know if they can realize their vision on current technology. Skyrim itself was basically developed and released instead of Fallout 4 for similar reasons as far as I can tell.
Of course, this is probably going to be very dependent on stuff like PS4 Neo and Project Scorpio (the Xbox One thing that was pretty vague). They're doing at least one more game before TES VI, which is most likely Starfield. I don't think TES VI can be expected until mid-to-late 2020's, though.
We also have the second studio. Has any word given what project they are working on.
According to Todd Howard it's a "very long way off"
