It’s an area of Tamriel that Bethesda hasn’t explored much and that's based on a reported internal Bethesda memo from all the way back in 2014. There were rumors that The Elder Scrolls 6 could be set in Valenwood, the home of the Bosmer. However, even though these areas are prime spots for exploration, that's not to say that Bethesda won't return to areas from previous games.
Valenwood, Elsweyr, and Black Marsh are the biggest places left to explore. Previous games have taken us to High Rock, Hammerfell, Morrowind, Cyrodil, and Skyrim. We’re willing to bet that like all the other games in the series, The Elder Scrolls 6 will take place on the continent of Tamriel. Other than that, you might be waiting a while to see more. The only footage we have of The Elder Scrolls 6 is a very short clip of the game's logo. What we do know, however, is that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be available on Xbox Game Pass on day one. Similarly, releases on Xbox One and PS4 seem extremely unlikely, as Starfield shows Bethesda's moving on from last-gen hardware. A PS5 release is much less certain, however, as Microsoft may opt to make the new Elder Scrolls game an Xbox exclusive. Similarly, platforms for The Elder Scrolls 6 haven't been confirmed yet but, given Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda's parent company ZeniMax Media, releases on PC, and Xbox Series S|X are almost a certainty. As such, tentatively expect The Elder Scrolls 6 to release in 2024 at the very earliest, after Bethesda has given Starfield at least a couple of years in the spotlight. In a more recent update, Howard told IGN (opens in new tab) that The Elder Scrolls 6 is still in "pre-production". Bethesda Games Studios director Todd Howard supported this in a 2021 interview with The Telegraph (opens in new tab), stating: "It’s good to think of The Elder Scrolls 6 as still being in a design … but we’re checking the tech: 'Is this going to handle the things we want to do in that game?' Every game will have some new suites of technology so Elder Scrolls 6 will have some additions on to Creation Engine 2 that that game is going to require."
