A new Elder Scrolls 6 trailer is reportedly making the rounds internally at Bethesda, according to industry insider Jez Corden. The claim has reignited speculation around the status of the long-awaited sequel to Skyrim, which recently passed the seventh anniversary of its original teaser reveal at E3 2018.
🎥 A Trailer That’s Yet to See the Light of Day
Speaking during a recent episode of The Xbox Two Podcast, Jez Corden stated that he has it “on good authority” that a new internal Elder Scrolls 6 trailer is currently circulating among developers at Bethesda. While the trailer hasn’t been confirmed for public release, its very existence suggests the game is further along than previously believed.
“I thought it might show up at the Xbox Games Showcase,” Corden revealed, referring to the June 8 event. Although TES 6 was ultimately absent, the internal trailer’s presence hints at tangible development progress.

🛠️ Timeline of Development
Bethesda announced The Elder Scrolls VI on June 10, 2018, with a minimalist teaser. For years, the game remained in pre-production as the studio focused on Starfield. In August 2023, Bethesda confirmed that active development on TES 6 had begun, following Starfield’s core release.
Since then, Bethesda has remained notoriously silent, sharing no trailers, no concept art, and no developer diaries—until now, with this insider report suggesting things are finally moving.
🧠What Could Be in the Internal Trailer?
Though the trailer hasn’t been leaked or officially described, fans are hopeful it includes:
-
A first look at the rumored setting (possibly Hammerfell or High Rock)
-
Updates on Bethesda’s next-gen engine
-
Glimpses of new mechanics or lore elements
Its internal use likely means the footage is being reviewed, polished, or tested for future marketing.
🕹️ Fans Stay Hopeful Amid Silence
With Bethesda now under Microsoft’s umbrella and The Elder Scrolls 6 expected to be an Xbox exclusive, any future showcase—whether Gamescom 2025 or The Game Awards—could be a potential reveal venue.
For now, the Elder Scrolls 6 internal trailer rumor is the most solid indication that the sequel to Skyrim is well on its way.
While this remains unconfirmed by Bethesda, Jez Corden’s track record lends credibility to the idea that something significant is brewing behind the scenes. After years of radio silence, fans may finally be inching closer to Tamriel’s next chapter.
Stay tuned as we follow updates surrounding The Elder Scrolls 6, its potential trailer, and any future showcases that may deliver long-awaited answers.
