The upcoming Bethesda games coming our way promise to bring back the beloved RPG series that the studio is known for. From Elder Scrolls to Fallout, we might be in for quite a wait for the new entries to arrive, but it's undoubtedly an exciting time for the Skyrim developer.
Bethesda has certainly been busy in recent years. Not only is it publishing some of the most exciting new games of 2025, but it recently released The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, fueling The Elder Scrolls 6 speculation and excitement. And, let's not forget with the release and success of the Fallout TV series, thoughts have been firmly back on the rad-filled world - even if we can expect a long wait to return to the Wasteland.
While we wait for more from Bethesda, it's also worth seeing what other games are in store for us in the future with our roundup of upcoming Xbox Series X games and upcoming PC games. But, for a refresher on what the studio is working on, read on below to find all of the upcoming Bethesda games currently in development.
Upcoming Bethesda games currently in development
2025
Doom: The Dark Ages
Developer: id Software
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
Release date: May 15, 2025
Platform(s): PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S
Bethesda and Doom go way back, so it should come as a surprise to no one that the studio is publishing the next carnage-filled outing for the Doom Slayer with Doom: The Dark Ages. Developed by id Software, the upcoming game is a prequel to Doom (2016) and will have you tearing through demons in a gnarly medieval-looking setting. The action is set back when the Slayer was a weapon for the gods, and you'll be tasked with facing the forces of hell in their name.
From gameplay footage, Doom: The Dark Ages looks to be a wild time. The weapons include the likes of a new gun that shoots skull fragments, and of course, the handy shotgun is back too. This franchise has already given us some of the best FPS games of all time, so we have high hopes here. The good news is that pre-orders are also live if you want to get ahead of the crowd.
TBC
Elder Scrolls 6
Developer: Bethesda Game Studios
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
Release date: TBC (potentially 2026)
Platform(s): TBC
Over the last decade, Skyrim has enjoyed immense success, with the fantasy RPG finding its way onto almost every platform imaginable over the years. With so much love for Elder Scrolls out there among players, it's no surprise that another installment is in the works. That's right, we are getting The Elder Scrolls 6!
First announced with a short teaser officially confirming its existence with a title reveal in 2018, very little is known about Elder Scrolls 6, as the team's main focus has been on Starfield for the past few years. Current projects point to Elder Scrolls 6 releasing in 2026 at the earliest, but there's a good chance that we'll be waiting a little while longer.
Fallout 5
Developer: Bethesda Game Studios
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
Release date: TBC
Platform(s): TBC
As one of the longest-running IPs now owned by Bethesda, another Fallout entry has always been on the cards. In fact, even before it was addressed by Todd Howard, seeing a Fallout 5 someday felt inevitable, given the success of Fallout 4. We don't yet know much about our return to the post-apocalyptic world.
However, we know that Bethesda is working on The Elder Scrolls 6 first, and that it takes them roughly five years to make a new Fallout game. With that in mind, if The Elder Scrolls 6 releases in 2026, we are looking at a 2030 release date for Fallout 5. We'll keep you posted as more updates head our way. But, in the meantime, you can read our ranking of the best Fallout games that you can play today.
Marvel's Blade
Developer: Arkane Studios
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
Release date: TBC
Platform(s): PC, Xbox Series X/S
Bethesda is on board as the publisher for the upcoming Marvel game, Marvel's Blade. Originally announced in 2023, it has admittedly been some time since we last heard news about this one. However, despite the lack of news, the game is still very much in the works. Deathloop and Dishonored developer Arkane Studios is leading the charge on the new vampire title, and we'll likely see them venture into new gameplay avenues with Blade.
While we only have a cinematic trailer to go off for now, we expect that Blade's gameplay will be stealth and combat-focused, given the nature of the Marvel Comics' character. After all, Blade is a master martial artist and gunslinger. We'll keep you posted as more news heads our way!
Look ahead to future releases with our roundups of all the most exciting upcoming PS5 games and upcoming Switch games on the way.
