Grand Theft Auto 6 and The Elder Scrolls 6 Are One and the Same
Grand Theft Auto 6was first officially confirmed by Rockstar in February 2022. with the announcement lacking the flare and scale that was expected of such a highly-anticipated release. Rockstar would go on to be uncharacteristically silent about the project, with thehigh-profile leaks that revealed a ton of early-developmentGTA 6detailslater on in the year only making things worse for the company.
This created a lot of frustration amongGrand Theft Auto’s wide-spanning community, who could not understand why such an exciting release was being kept under wraps. With a staggering amount of rumors and theories predictably arising as a result of this, it is clear to see whythe upcoming trailer forGTA 6is already being lauded by fans. The concrete details that will be in this trailer will really launch the next step of the run-up toGTA 6’s release, allowing the title to move beyond the damaging leaks and criticism that it has already faced.
The Elder Scrolls 6is an upcoming title from another massive IP, sharing a lot of immediate similarities withGTA 6. More importantly, however, is thatTES 6andGTA 6have both had an unusually vague level of marketing and communication since originally being revealed. It is true thatThe Elder Scrolls 6has already received a trailer of sorts, with its original announcement coming alongside a 37-second video in 2018 that showed nothing but a vague landscape and the title’s official logo.

WithThe Elder Scrolls 6nearing almost 2000 days since its brief announcement trailer,GTA 6’s upcoming reveal should serve as a wake-up call for the Bethesda title. The unprecedented amount of silence sinceThe Elder Scrolls 6’s announcement has become a thing of fascination in some spaces of the gaming industry, with Bethesda seemingly setting fans up for a pay-off that is almost six years in the making.
Comparatively,Grand Theft Auto 6only left fans waiting just under two years between its original announcement and its official reveal, with even this being considered as a long down-time for such a high-profile title. Regardless, the inbound reveal trailer forGTA 6should be the indicator thatTES 6needs to move forward with its own reveal, especially if Bethesda wants to generate the samebuzz that currently surroundsGTA 6.
Of course, this potential reveal forTES 6should above all else come at a time when Bethesda is ready to move forward with the project, and rushing a reveal could lead to the same criticisms that its announcement trailer currently faces. If this is the case, then Bethesda should at least consider ramping up the transparency ofcommunication it has with its fans overThe Elder Scrolls 6, withGTA 6’s recent developments proving that the fantasy title needs to move things up a gear.
