Bethesda says development plans for The Elder Scrolls VI are still on track despite the latest round of layoffs affecting Bethesda Game Studios, ZeniMax, and the wider Xbox organization. The company’s message is intended to push back on concerns that the cuts could disrupt one of its biggest upcoming games.
The update follows reports of declining morale at the studio as employees deal with the fallout from the broader layoffs. Even with that backdrop, Bethesda maintains that The Elder Scrolls VI has not been delayed and that its roadmap has not changed.
That reassurance is significant because the game has been closely watched for years, and any sign of internal disruption quickly raises questions about timing and development progress. With layoffs hitting multiple parts of Microsoft’s gaming business, attention has turned to whether major projects could face setbacks.
For now, Bethesda’s position is clear: the current plan for The Elder Scrolls VI remains intact. While the company did not share new milestone details, its statement suggests that work on the RPG is continuing under the same development roadmap as before the cuts.
