Bethesda has addressed community concerns following significant Xbox Game Studio layoffs, reportedly affecting up to 25% of its staff. While The Elder Scrolls VI remains the primary focus, new information suggests another Elder Scrolls title may be in development.

A LinkedIn profile for former Bethesda Associate Quest Designer, Griffin DeClaire, listed involvement in an "unreleased Elder Scrolls" project. Given that The Elder Scrolls VI has been publicly known for over eight years, this points to a potential Elder Scrolls spin-off. DeClaire's past work on the "pitch/writing/quest implementation process" indicates the title has moved beyond pre-production.

Recent rumors also suggest Bethesda is seeking development assistance from other ZeniMax studios for its existing projects. The impact of the recent layoffs on the unannounced Elder Scrolls game's development timeline is currently unknown, but it is likely to cause delays.
