Microsoft's lawyer made a bit of a slip last night, casually stating that The Elder Scrolls 16 will release in 2026. Needless to say, this is incorrect.
During the proceedings, Microsoft's lawyer took to the floor in a bid to clear up a bit of a misunderstanding surrounding Bethesda's Elder Scrolls series. However, in doing so, they perhaps made things a touch more confusing., Microsoft's lawyer tried to offer some clarification between two Elder Scrolls games.
"When you were asking about Zenimax and asked [the FTC lawyer] to find a game that was most similar to Xbox, he mentioned Elder Scrolls. That is incorrect," Microsoft's lawyer began."There are two Elder Scrolls games, one is online called Elder Scrolls Online - that is a multiplayer game, it is on PlayStation today."
Microsoft's lawyer then went on to state that the FTC's lawyer had instead been referring to"The Elder Scrolls 16", whose"projected release is 2026 as a single-player game".However, even that 2026 date seems unlikely. After all, just last week, stated that the latest instalment of the highly-anticipated RPG series was still"five-plus years away".When further questioned directly about Elder Scrolls 6, Spencer reportedly said he"didn't even know which Microsoft platforms it'd be on", adding:"It's so far out it's hard to understand what the platforms will even be".
