📰 Why Are Fans So Upset? The Main Reasons
🕵️♂️ 1. Teaser Came Too Early: Bethesda announced Elder Scrolls 6 in 2018, years before development really started. Now, fans feel misled.
📢 2. Radio Silence: Bethesda has shared almost nothing—no gameplay, no story, not even concept art. Even a “still working on it” tweet would help.
⏳ 3. Long Wait: It’s been seven years since the teaser, and the game is still likely two or more years away.
🎮 4. Other Games Get Trailers: GTA 6, Resident Evil 9, and even Fallout 76 get new trailers and updates, while Elder Scrolls 6 fans get nothing.
🕹️ 5. Starfield’s Reception: Some fans worry that Bethesda’s focus on Starfield delayed Elder Scrolls 6, and are skeptical after Starfield’s mixed reviews.
📝 6. High Expectations: After Skyrim’s massive success, fans want a game that’s bigger, deeper, and more innovative—but fear the long wait means disappointment.
