Microsoft’s lawyer left a phrase that surprised everyone due to the “closeness” of the possible launch of the game
The preliminary phase of the trial between the FTC and Microsoft for the purchase of Activision Blizzard came to an end yesterday, and it did so with a bombshell that no one expected. At the time of defending the FTC’s argument, in which they were justifying the reasons why it was necessary to block the purchase, Judge Corley asked the organization’s lawyer about a game similar to Call of Duty within Zenimax, with which we can Compare the importance of its exclusivity.
The lawyer responded that the most similar in terms of popularity would be TES 6, to which the judge responded that it had not yet reached the market. Given this, Corley asked Microsoft’s lawyer what release plans exist for the game, and in his response, he advanced the possible The Elder Scrolls 6 release window. According to the lawyer, the year in which the game could hit the market will be next 2026.

The Elder Scrolls 6 release window will be 2026
Although a few days ago we had similar information from Phil Spencer, the Xbox boss did not dare to give a specific date for the release window of The Elder Scrolls 6. Many intuited that the title could arrive in 2028, according to Spencer’s statements that “it could be 5 years away.” However, if the words of Microsoft’s lawyers are true, the title could arrive much sooner than expected.
Could you clarify an issue that the council brought up to you, when they asked you about Zenimax and asked you to find a game that was more similar to Xbox, you mentioned Elder Scrolls? That is incorrect. There are two games from Elder Scrollsone is online called Elder Scrolls Online, which is a multiplayer game, is on PlayStation today. The game Elder Scrolls 16 (6) is talking about… The projected release is 2026 as a single-player game. It is not similar to Call of Duty, which as you know is multiplayer and cross-platform.
While it is true that the lawyer mentioned The Elder Scrolls 16, it is quite clear that he really wanted to refer to the sixth installment of the TES saga. Therefore, There is some disparity between the information offered by the company’s lawyer and the CEO of Xbox. We will have to wait to see what finally happens with the game’s release date, but all of us Western RPG lovers hope that the reason ends up being on the part of Microsoft’s legal representative.
