A job posting from Bethesda indicates that multiplayer could be a reality in The Elder Scrolls VI. While we’ve seen multiplayer before in The Elder Scrolls Online and through mods like Skyrim Together, this would be the first time a major installment in the series would allow multiplayer play through official channels.

The job posting, which is for an associate level designer, requires experience with “a variety of open-world multiplayer games” as well as knowledge of “The Elder Scrolls Construction Set or GECK” tools.

These requirements don’t necessarily confirm that the game will be multiplayer, but the mention of The Elder Scrolls Construction Set combined with the mention of multiplayer means that there’s a chance whoever gets this job will be working on the next installment of The Elder Scrolls. However, until we have more information, it’s probably worth holding back the excitement for a bit.
