Xbox Chief Content Officer Matt Booty has commented on the ongoing development of The Elder Scrolls 6, revealing that he’s seen the game in action and that it will be revealed at correct moment. Some believed The Elder Scrolls 6 would finally show up at the recent Xbox Game Showcase 2026, but yet another no-show left many disappointed.
Speaking to Variety, Xbox CCO Matt Booty was asked about the weight of expectation for The Elder Scrolls 6 during showcases, where the Bethesda logo appears, only to reveal another game entirely, leaving some disappointed. Booty describes it as “one of the more challenging balancing acts of someone in a job like mine,” where “you want to go show the world all the cool stuff you’re working on, and you want to get them excited early, but we also know that we want to wait till the right moment. And when you decide to show it, you want it to be the best you’ve got.”
Booty followed up by suggesting that when The Elder Scrolls 6 does reappear, it may not be long before it releases, saying, “And also that when you show the game, you’re also giving them a promise of, hey, it’s coming soon.” He himself claims that he has seen the game in action of late, revealing, “So I can tell you, having visited Bethesda and sat with Todd and seen ‘Elder Scrolls‘ playing, it looks amazing, and it’s coming along well. And we’ll make sure to announce it and really reveal it at the right time.”
