All Elder Scrolls games in order, by release date and chronologically
There are few fantasy worlds as fleshed out and deep as the Elder Scrolls' Tamriel. We were first introduced to the series in the early '90s, and now eagerly await Elder Scrolls 6 to show us a new chapter of this tale. Until that upcoming video game makes its way to our PCs and consoles, we love to revisit these games to see how they have evolved and reimmerse ourselves in the lore. Similar to the GTA games, you'd be missing out on over half the games if you think there are only 5 Elder Scrolls games out right now. Surprisingly enough, every single game is considered canon and contributes to the ongoing story of the world. While you could always jump into whatever game looks most interesting, we think playing either in release order or chronologically is a better approach. This is the official order for the entire Elder Scrolls series in release and chronological order. All Elder Scrolls games in release order The Elder Scrolls is an old franchise that has undergone tons of evolutions over the decades. What hasn't changed is how ambitious these RPGs are. Each one has pushed the limits of open world games, RPGs, and simulations, though not without their bugs and glitches. Most mainline entries are set in one specific region or province of Tamriel, though some cover more ground or have expansions that let the player visit new areas. Recommended Videos While the oldest games in this list can be rough on the eyes, playing in release order really shows how impressive the growth of this series is from game to game. If you want to take on playing the Elder Scrolls games in release order, here's how to do it: Note: We will only list the original release for games that have multiple versions. Otherwise, half this list would be Skyrim. The Elder Scrolls Arena (1994) (1994) The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall (1996) (1996) The Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire (1997) (1997) The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard (1998) (1998) The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (2002) (2002) The Elder Scrolls Travels: Stormhold (2003) (2003) The Elder Scrolls Travels: Dawnstar (2004) (2004) The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey (2004) (2004) The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (2006) (2006) The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (2011) (2011) The Elder Scrolls Online (2014) (2014) The Elder Scrolls: Legends (2016) (2016) The Elder Scrolls: Blades (2020) (2020) The Elder Scrolls VI (TBA) All Elder Scrolls games in chronological order One of the great things about epic fantasy series is that they tend to have their own calendars. That isn't true for the Zelda games, but thankfully is for The Elder Scrolls, so we can easily track what games take place when. As cool as it sounds to play the series in the correct order of events historically, in practice, it is going to be a bit of a nightmare. Since every single game is considered canon, you are going to have to track down some very old PC and mobile games. Aside from major events, you aren't required to know the whole timeline or history of the series before playing the latest entry if you wish. Of course, those who do spend the time engrossing themselves will be rewarded. If you're up to the task, this is the official The Elder Scrolls timeline. The Elder Scrolls counts major time periods in Eras (E) followed by years. The Elder Scrolls Online (2E 582) (2E 582) The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard (2E 864) (2E 864) The Elder Scrolls Arena (3E 389 – 3E 399) (3E 389 – 3E 399) The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey (3E 397) (3E 397) The Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire (3E 398 – 405) (3E 398 – 405) The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall (3E 405 – 3E 417) (3E 405 – 3E 417) The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (3E 427) (3E 427) The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (3E 433) (3E 433) The Elder Scrolls: Legends (4E 175 – 201) (4E 175 – 201) The Elder Scrolls: Blades (4E 180) (4E 180) The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (4E 201) (4E 201) The Elder Scrolls Travels: Stormhold and The Elder Scrolls Travels: Dawnstar (Unknown) and (Unknown) The Elder Scrolls VI (TBD)

More than 4 years after its last Elder Scrolls 6 teaser, Bethesda officially re-acknowledges the RPG - using the exact same picture we saw in 2018
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Six-and-a-half years after we got our first Elder Scrolls 6 teaser we have an official update from Bethesda – and it uses the exact same picture we saw in 2018. Yippee. Bethesda is working with the Make-A-Wish foundation to raise money for the charity. There's a silent auction that you can bid on to create your very own NPC in the upcoming Elder Scrolls 6. When that game will come out is anybody's guess. The teaser trailer is now older than Skyrim was when it was originally posted. This should be a very sweet announcement, after all, who doesn't appreciate what Make-A-Wish does? But it's being overshadowed by the fact we've not had any meaningful, Bethesda-driven update on The Elder Scrolls 6 since 2021 when it was teased that the game would be set in Hammerfell – we haven't seen anything else from the game, not even a cinematic. One Twitter user writes, "Utilizing the same screenshot used for a 5 second teaser 7 years ago, we're so cooked." Another writes, "Will be cool to see them in 2036," joking about how long it's been since we had the last Elder Scrolls game. Most of the replies are some variation on "Wow, this game is still coming out," or, "I can't believe it's been so long since we got an update for this game." Former Naughty Dog developer Del Walker did say last year why some games get announced way before they're ready: to attract investors and keen developers. It's a lot easier to hire when people know what it is they'll be working on, but that does leave fans wanting for a lot longer than is comfortable. If you want a chance to create an NPC in The Elder Scrolls 6, you can visit the Make-A-Wish silent auction page and look for lot 301 – that's the Elder Scrolls one. It's currently up to $10,450, so you'll need to dig deep if you have a chance of winning. While you're waiting for the next installment in the series, check out our list of the best Elder Scrolls games you can play right now.
