They announced way too early, but the game properly went into production after Starfield, so sometime between 2027 or 2028 is a reasonable release window for their cadence.
Comment on Xbox is reportedly set to officially name The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel as soon as next month

Gee whiz I can’t wait. That probably means only another 5 years before we see a screenshot.

Idk if “too early” is the right phrase. Cyberpunk had an initial announcement teaser 7 years before we got anything else about the game, and no one complains about that. In fact, ime, anytime it comes to CDPR they can apparently do no wrong even when they do the same exact shit every other game company does; just look at how people still glaze Witcher 3 even though it’s a very standard open world action RPG.
I’ve seen/heard that the ES announcement was made in order to let people know that it is indeed coming and will be made, rather than letting people think it should’ve been right around the corner.

Cyberpunk was definitely not immune to this, and it got quite the reckoning on release. The big difference in The Witcher 3 for me was how much it copied the parts of the Bethesda formula that were fun for me while also making every side quest interesting and well-presented. Prior to that, I hadn’t seen an RPG keep up that level of quality for so long, as games that big tended to be full of routine fetch quests with no interesting story bit to go along with it, to pad them out, while The Witcher 3 made each of those question the morality of the typical fairy tale as The Witcher (in general) tends to do.
