Bethesda are finally going to show it. Rumors are that this will be shadowdropped (releases on the same day)

They literally have a teaser trailer for ES6 they officially released years ago (in 2018; similarly to how Cyberpunk 2077 was teased way the hell back in 2012). They said it wouldn't go into major production, though, until after Starfield released. Which has also already happened.

Right. Yet there's zero timeline for release, and I'd like a timeline for release. You can't just tease something and have pretty much no updates for 7 years...

Todd Howard thinks he can. 🤷🏻‍♂️

My copium is maybe we get a little update with this announcement. Not thinking it likely, but this whole Oblivion shadowdrop move would tie in well with a statement that ES6 is still coming and this is their way of tiding people over until then.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for. I don't need gameplay or anything, I just want to know more-or-less what the status is. As in, are we likely to see a release in the next couple years? Or is this a 5-years out situation?
