Elder Scrolls followers are taking it nicely after Microsoft says it's a 'huge yr for video games ending in 6' forward of its upcoming Xbox Direct showcase: 'I'm virtually dwelling off hopium and copium at this level'
There’s an Xbox Direct showcase taking place on January 22, and Microsoft has teased three video games that may seem: Fable, Forza Horizon 6, and Beast of Reincarnation. In response to a submit on X about mentioned showcase, UsagiMoonlight wrote,” Extra excited for Horizon 6 than GTA 6 atm,” to which Microsoft responded, “Huge yr for video games ending in 6, although.”
Properly.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is clearly the chief of that exact pack, however Forza Horizon 6 is a reasonably large deal too. Experience 6 can also be coming in February, if that is what you are into. However there’s one other ‘recreation ending in 6’ introduced way back and extraordinary ever since that you just may need forgotten amidst all of the every little thing: The Elder Scrolls 6.
Elder Scrolls followers, nonetheless, haven’t forgotten. And as clocked by GamesRadar, a few of them are taking the comment as maybe a bit of extra significant than it was meant.
“They’re teasing us,” one enthusiastic redditor said merely, main one other to reply, “In the event that they drop a Starfield replace and a TES6 trailer on the identical time, I’ll purchase the brand new xbox. This can be a menace.”
Others had been very barely extra measured of their responses, corresponding to this poor particular person, who acknowledged it is “a protracted shot” but in addition admitted they’re “virtually dwelling off hopium and copium at this level.”

Just a few see the choice to disable replies to the X submit as, perhaps, an indication that somebody had by chance let the cat out of the bag and was now attempting to cease the phrase from spreading.
In fact, that is not going to maintain anybody from re-posting, as definitive Elder Scrolls wiki the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages did, with a really rational response of its personal:
One particular person predicted dire penalties for the social media supervisor who posted it:
I believe it is quite a lot of enjoyable—I really like performative freakouts in response to marginal statements, and the longer the shot the sweeter it’s—however the place does this all really go away us? Something’s attainable and I hate to throw chilly water on anybody’s goals, however I’d peg the chance of an Elder Scrolls 6 look on the Xbox Direct showcase as slim. Very slim. Todd Howard mentioned in December 2025 that work on the sport is “progressing very nicely,” however he additionally mentioned a month prior that it is “nonetheless a protracted methods off,” too.
The advertising and marketing machine might definitely sputter up nicely earlier than the sport comes out (and certain will), however would Microsoft roll out the primary actual trailer for the following Elder Scrolls recreation—one of the crucial anticipated video games of all time—with out some substantial, hard-to-miss tease that it is coming? Yeah, no, sorry—I do not purchase it.
