With only a handful of upcoming Bethesda games currently announced, it's a quiet yet exciting time for the home of Skyrim. Whether you can't wait for the next Elder Scrolls game or one particular upcoming Marvel game from Arkane Studios, both the publishing and development divisions of the Microsoft-owned company have been hard at work.
Already, Bethesda has brought us one of the biggest new games of 2025 in the form of Doom: The Dark Ages, as well as having shadow-dropped Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered following months of speculation. It even found time to launch Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PS5 after it debuted on Xbox and PC in December 2024.
Looking to the future, Bethesda also hinted at The Elder Scrolls 6 numerous times in recent months, and off the back of Amazon's very successful Fallout TV series, many of us can't wait for our long overdue return to one of the best RPGs ever (though Fallout 5 will come post-Elder Scrolls 6, according to Bethesda).
Despite the current upcoming Bethesda game line-up looking pretty slim, you shouldn't be disheartened. Now's your time to check out what other games are in store, with our roundup of upcoming Xbox Series X games and upcoming PC games sure to keep you company in the meantime. But, for a refresher on what the studio is working on right now, read on below to find all of the upcoming Bethesda games we know to be in development this summer.
Upcoming Bethesda games currently in development
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.
