You might be thinking, if you're the optimistic sort, that today's official unveiling of The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel means that wheels are turning and things are happening and you're going to be off to Hammerfell soon—or at the very least, learning more about what's coming in Bethesda's next big RPG. Alas, in a follow-up post on social media, the studio made it clear that you shouldn't start holding your breath just yet.
"Thank you for 40 years of shared memories," Bethesda wrote. "We can't wait to make even more together with The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel. Development continues, and while it'll be some time before we're ready to share more, it feels great to finally reveal the name and location with you."

"Some time" is obviously not a defined span, but I find that generally speaking it's a nicer, more politic way of saying "long time"—for instance, you could say it's been "some time" since Bethesda first announced the Elder Scrolls 6, and yeah, that's true. It was also eight freakin' years ago, and we've heard basically nothing since.
That is, very roughly, the same amount of time Bethesda needed to make the first Elder Scrolls game, Arena, as well as Daggerfall, Morrowind, the Morrowind expansions Tribunal and Bloodmoon, and the spinoff games Battlespire and Redguard.
