Bethesda and Todd Howard now have Skyrim Grandma Shirley Curry asking them to hurry up and release The Elder Scrolls 6.
86-year-old Shirley Curry may be known as the Skyrim Grandma, but she’s just as eager to move on and play the next Elder Scrolls game as everybody else.

Obviously, that’s not The Elder Scroll 6’s name but we all know what she meant. She got plenty of cheers from the crowd, who can clearly relate; she even added that she’d like to play the new game before she dies.
If you’re unfamiliar with Curry, she’s been making Skyrim related YouTube videos as far back as 2015 and soon became a prominent figure within the Elder Scrolls community.
The fact that she got her own panel at PAX East should demonstrate how popular she has become. She recently also broke 1 million subscribers on YouTube.

In the meantime, Bethesda is prioritising its sci-fi role-player Starfield, which we finally got to see proper gameplay
