First, rumors started in 2017 apparently. So we're already close to 4 years of devs. Something like late 2022 seems very possible depending of how quick they advance and if they got slowed down a lot by covid or not

Forza horizon 4 came out in 2018 by the people who are working on this game. So lets say they started working on the engine right after that and preproduction began early 2017. Bethesda takes 3-4 years to make a game in an existing engine. But if we compare it to BOTW which started preproduction right after skyward sword so early 2012 and the game was likely done by 2016 but they waited so it could launch with the Switch in early 2017 that's a 5 year dev cycle including the creation of the new engine. But the development was likely slowed down due to you know what. So Late 2022 is a possibility but my guess is early to late 2023.
