Elder Scrolls Tabletop RPG Betrayal of the Second Era Up for Preorder
Chip Theory Games' The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era is a 1-4 player co-op tabletop RPG set in Tamriel's Second Era, with a November 2026 launch planned.
The Elder Scrolls is heading back to the table. The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era, a cooperative tabletop RPG from Chip Theory Games, is now listed for preorder by retailers, with a launch window pointing to November 2026.
The game supports one to four players and is set during Tamriel's Second Era, amid the events surrounding the Planemeld. Its campaign follows an investigation into a threat tied to the Order of the Black Worm.
Mechanically, Betrayal of the Second Era mixes hex-based dungeon combat with character progression, quests, and exploration. Zatu lists the base game for preorder at roughly $209.
Expansions are already planned around the release, including Elsweyr, Summerset, and Heroes of Tamriel. The project arrives as Bethesda's own return to the series remains without a release date.
Bethesda announced The Elder Scrolls 6 at E3 2018. In late 2025, the studio said most of its team was working on the game, and Xbox content chief Matt Booty said in June 2026 that he had seen it running and development was progressing well. Screen Rant reported on the tabletop game's preorder listings.
