Welcome to the Official Waiting Room. Pull up a chair, sit tight, and configure your neural-net implants. We are scheduled to launch in early next century.

Scroll to DiscoverNPCs now possess full persistent consciousness. Any crimes committed during a stealth archer playthrough will be remembered by town guards on completely different save files, characters, or Steam accounts. Recreating a character won't save you from your sins.
To support server upkeep, standard horses are now bare skeletons. To ride a horse with flesh, muscle, or physical collision, you must subscribe to our monthly Equine Safety Pass™ ($14.99/mo). Free tier horses have a 50% chance of despawning mid-gallop.
We've simulated sweetrolls down to the subatomic level. Every sugar crystal possesses independent gravitational pull and real-time friction. Eating a sweetroll launches a 45-minute carbohydrate metabolism mini-game that directly impacts stamina.
Standard bugs have been officially reclassified as "Lore-Friendly Anomalies (LFAs)". Giants launching you 5,000 feet into the air is now the Nordic Space Program, and clipping through castle walls is canonical high-level alteration magic. No patches needed.
Pre-order the Ancestral Edition today to guarantee that your great-great-grandchildren will receive access to the closed character creation beta in 2110. Includes a digital soundtrack and a physical Canvas Bag* (*subject to change to microplastics).
Hello. Todd. The most sacred week of our calendar approaches.
With the eleventh of November nearly upon us, the studio is preparing its annual observance. This year's cake, I am told, is structurally ambitious: Janet from HR is attempting a scale model of the blank second whiteboard, rendered in icing, which is to say a large white cake that says nothing. It may be her finest work. It may be the game.
To mark the occasion we are releasing a Commemorative Countdown to the Countdown — a smaller timer that counts down to the moment you may begin looking at the main timer. Immersion. As always — it just works.
Greetings, patient ones. It is I, Todd, and it is the spooky season.
In the spirit of the season, I can confirm that the ancient undead of The Elder Scrolls VII — the draugr — have formed a bargaining unit. They now rise to attack intruders only on a schedule, with proper notice, and they have requested a dental plan, which raises questions none of us are qualified to answer.
The fog team, I should add, lives for October. They have cranked the fog to a density previously thought unsafe. Visibility in the test build is zero. Three testers reported it as 'the scariest and most complete thing in the game.' They are not wrong on either count. Happy Halloween.
Hey everyone. Todd. Here to legitimize a sport.
I am thrilled to recognize the first professional Elder Scrolls VII Waiting League. Competitors are ranked on a single metric: how long they can wait, doing nothing, for a game that does not exist. It is, we believe, the purest form of competition, and the only esport perfectly matched to our release schedule. The finals will be held in the Waiting Room. There is no prize pool. There is only the wait.
A rival league that permits blinking has been dismissed by purists as 'casual.' We take no official position, but we agree.
Hello. Todd. Addressing the leak directly, as a leader must.
This week, dedicated fans datamined the entire Elder Scrolls VII build. We want to be transparent: they found nothing, because there is nothing, and we consider this a successful security outcome. No story was spoiled. No feature was leaked. The game remains, as ever, a perfect unknown.
One datamined file, labeled 'final_FINAL_real_v3.esp,' was found to contain a single developer comment from 2027 that reads 'we'll fix this later.' It is the most complete asset in the build.
Hi. Todd. Reporting from the far side of a handshake.
After weeks of negotiation, we have reached an agreement with Radiant Local 2111. The procedurally generated residents of the Preston Settlement will receive paid downtime between quest markers; in exchange, they have agreed to request the player's assistance only during business hours. The collective bargaining agreement is four hundred pages long and composed entirely of the phrase 'You must be new here.' Both sides consider it fair.
Sheila forecast the signing as 'clear skies, light wind, a strong chance of lasting labor peace.' She was correct. She is always correct. She knows only the weather.
Hey everyone. Todd. Enormous news, structurally speaking.
The Chair — discovered behind the door marked 'Demo (Final)' — has proven so beloved that it is being spun off into its own standalone title. Pre-orders for The Elder Scrolls: Chair have already surpassed lifetime pre-orders for The Elder Scrolls VII, a game that contains the Chair for free. We are aware of the economics. We are choosing not to think about them.
A Collector's Edition will include a physical replica of the Chair, which is a chair. It ships in 2109. Supplies are limited by the concept of chairs.

When the server registers our 2111 beta window, we will transmit a character creation key directly to their biometric chip or email inbox (whichever is current).
