TESVI might actually release in 2027 and here is my reasoning
So I know many people have thought about this or I hope have, but the doomsayers saying "Oh it wont release until 2040" well lets break down BGS history with Elder Scrolls starting at Morrowind.
Morrowind to Oblivion was 4 years because they switched from Netimmerse to Gamebryo, which was not much of an upgrade at that time.
Oblivion to Fallout 3, was 2 years. (this is an outlier and not typical of their release schedule)
Oblivion to Skyrim was 5 years because of the switch from Gamebryo to Creation 1.0.
Skyrim to Fallout 4 was 4 years. Fallout 4 to Fallout 76 was 3 years.
Fallout 76 to Starfield was 5 years because of the switch to Creation Engine 2.0. (I didnt include TESO as it was developed by a separate company)
Now this is going to sound like hopium, but if you notice anytime there is an engine change, the game time frame extends by one year, but anytime there is not, the customary time is 4 years. Now that being said, I am still going to project a release of Fall - Winter 2027. And here is my reasoning as to why.
They just switched from Creation 1.0 to 2.0 for Starfield. Meaning that Starfield was the game that broke in Creation 2.0.
Now bearing that in mind, Starfield released on September 6, 2023. So, if we follow by their non-engine update years, then it can reasonably be projected that the game might potentially release around September - December of 2027. However, to not be disappointed, I would bank towards 2028 rather than get all your hopes up on 2027, but it is a major possibility given BGS release history.
