Bethesda unveils next big title at summer showcase. What we know so far
Bethesda has announced its next big title. Bethesda first announced The Elder Scrolls 6 in 2018, and since then, a lot has changed. Xbox now owns Bethesda, and fans have been waiting for seven years with very little news. Most of Bethesda's time was spent working on Starfield, which came out in 2023. Because of that, not much work happened on The Elder Scrolls 6 until recently. Now, nearly two years later, there's still no major update. Fans were hoping the recent Xbox Games Showcase would mention the game, but it didn't. Xbox head Phil Spencer talked about Xbox's 2026 games at the event. He mentioned titles like Fable and Forza Horizon 6, but not The Elder Scrolls 6. That likely means the game won't release in 2026. Fans will probably have to wait until at least 2027. Even if Spencer didn't mention the game, the fact that it wasn't shown at all makes it clear it's still far off. When the game does come back into the spotlight, it will probably be at another Xbox Games Showcase. Big games like this need a long marketing campaign, so it's unlikely they would reveal it the same year it comes out. Also Read: Loyd has breakout game in Aces' victory over Wings after slow start this season There was a recent report about a trailer being shared inside Xbox. But that trailer was likely only for internal use—to show how far the team has come in development. This is common in large game studios. Of course, none of this is confirmed, and plans could still change. But a 2026 release was always a long shot. Now, it looks almost certain the game won't be ready until 2027 at the earliest. Based on how big the project is, 2027 seems likely, but 2028 could happen too. Anything beyond that would suggest serious delays—but so far, there are no signs of any big problems.

Phil Spencer Just Lowkey Confirmed The Halo: Combat Evolved Remaster Making 2026 A Massive Year For Xbox
What might have been the biggest news of the Xbox summer showcase didn't come in the form of a surprise trailer but rather straight from the mouth of Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer. While there was no footage to debut, the executive quietly let slip that a new Forza is coming next year as well as the 'return of a classic' that's been with Xbox from the beginning. It's hard to imagine that's anything other than the previously reported Halo: Combat Evolved remaster. 'As we think about bringing a new generation of players to these iconic franchises I'm excited to share that players will get to celebrate 25 years of Xbox with a new Fable, the next Forza, Gears of War: E-Day, and the return of a classic that's been with us since the beginning,' Spencer said near the end of the livestream. That tiny, innocuous-sounding snippet was full of news. The Gears of War prequel didn't previously have a release window and the newest Forza hadn't previously been mentioned at all (will it be Forza Horizon 6 or something else?) But the detail most fans will be glomming onto is the hint at the original Halo's return. That game, previously reported by The Verge's Tom Warren to be a remaster of Halo: Combat Evolved in Unreal Engine 5, will presumably follow in the footsteps of the recent remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion,which Microsoft shadow-dropped last month. If that ends up being the case, the Halo remaster will likely be the original game running with overhauled graphics and some tweaked systems, though unlike Oblivion, there is already an HD Master Chief Collection players can use to access Bungie's hit 2001 shooter. We'll have to wait to learn more to see if Combat Evolved gets a more fundamental reworking to make it stand out on modern platforms. Whatever it ends up being, it's almost a guaranteed thing that a Halo remaster will be coming to PlayStation 5 as well, potentially serving as the perfect starting point to bring the iconic Xbox exclusive to Sony's console for the first time ever. And while that multiplatform push has left some fans wondering why they bothered buying an Xbox console at all this generation, Spencer's last-minute sound-bite suggests next year will be full of nostalgia for those who have been with the platform for decades. All of the core, previously exclusive franchises will be there, and playable on Microsoft's new Xbox-branded ROG Ally PC gaming handheld to boot. .
