After waiting since the initial announcement in 2018, fans of The Elder Scrolls 6 may be losing patience following the release of a new trailer from Bethesda.
It’s a running joke in the gaming world that Bethesda has repeatedly re-released Skyrim since its original launch in 2011. Now, they’ve announced an updated version for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While some gamers are excited, others aren’t thrilled about seeing the game re-released yet again.

Features include:
- Performance optimization
- Enhanced loading times
- All expansion packs
- Hundreds of Creation Club items
- Improved resolution
I’m a little embarrassed to say this makes me want to replay Skyrim! I enjoy playing it around Christmas, and this feels like a good reason to start a new game. However, we also need to think about the fans who have been waiting for almost ten years for news about The Elder Scrolls 6 – they’re already feeling anxious.
“I thought this was a joke but wow, there it is,” wrote one fan over on the TES6 subreddit.
Another added: “I am 100% convinced Todd checks this subreddit and decided to troll us.”
Someone else pointed out that the game will continue to be re-released as long as people keep purchasing it. They called it a smart business move, essentially printing money at this point.
With a mysterious statue hinting at a major announcement at The Game Awards, fans of The Elder Scrolls 6 were already incredibly excited when this trailer dropped. And that’s really saying something!
“HE CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT,” one YouTube viewer wrote.
“We got another Skyrim before GTA 6,” another joked.
