A fresh internal trailer for The Elder Scrolls 6 is reportedly making rounds at Bethesda, as revealed by trusted industry sources. Though unconfirmed whether this footage is being polished for public viewing, its existence hints that development for The Elder Scrolls 6 is advancing steadily.

June 10 marked seven years since Bethesda unveiled TES 6 with a cryptic teaser at E3 2018. The sequel to Skyrim entered pre-production in subsequent years, with active development confirmed in August 2023 after Starfield's core completion. Microsoft, Bethesda's parent company, has maintained secrecy about the project since then.

Despite Bethesda's silence, development appears promising. Journalist Jez Corden noted the internal trailer's circulation, sparking speculation about a potential appearance at the recent Xbox Games Showcase (June 8). During The Xbox Two Podcast, Corden suggested this timing might align with upcoming announcements (36:51 mark).

Is the TES 6 Trailer Meant for Public Release?

Two theories emerge about this trailer: Either Bethesda is refining a public reveal, or it’s an internal milestone update. Large studios like Bethesda typically reserve circulated trailers for executive reviews or cross-team alignment rather than public previews. Its existence, however, confirms tangible progress—possibly targeting a late 2028 release.

Gamescom 2025 Appearance Unlikely

Corden doubts TES 6 will debut at August's Gamescom. If development stays on track, a reveal could follow Starfield's 15-month pre-release window—though without the same decade-long fan anticipation.
