There's an Xbox Direct showcase happening on January 22, and Microsoft has teased three games that will appear: Fable, Forza Horizon 6, and Beast of Reincarnation. In response to a post on X about said showcase, UsagiMoonlight wrote," More excited for Horizon 6 than GTA 6 atm," to which Microsoft responded, "Big year for games ending in 6, though."

Well.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is obviously the leader of that particular pack, but Forza Horizon 6 is a pretty big deal too. Ride 6 is also coming in February, if that's what you're into. But there's another 'game ending in 6' announced long ago and unheard of ever since that you might have forgotten amidst all the everything: The Elder Scrolls 6.

Elder Scrolls fans, however, have not forgotten. And as clocked by GamesRadar, some of them are taking the remark as perhaps a little more meaningful than it was intended.

"They're teasing us," one enthusiastic redditor stated simply, leading another to reply, "If they drop a Starfield update and a TES6 trailer at the same time, I’ll buy the new xbox. This is a threat."

Others were very slightly more measured in their responses, such as this poor individual, who acknowledged it's "a long shot" but also admitted they're "practically living off hopium and copium at this point."

A few see the decision to disable replies to the X post as, maybe, a sign that someone had accidentally let the cat out of the bag and was now trying to stop the word from spreading.
