Bethesda Softworks understands how highly-anticipated its role-playing game “The Elder Scrolls 6” is but since it appears very likely that it will not be launching the game at the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2015 to be held in Los Angeles, the developer is launching instead “The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited” to the Xbox One and PS4.
The multiplayer online game was launched a few days ago, on June 9, following its release on the Mac and the PC on April 4. “The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited” will allow players to fight on multiplayer battles and quests.
Bethesda has also allowed gamers to pre-order the game as early as last month, which also offered the “Imperial Edition Upgrade” where gamers can choose to join any alliance and use the Imperial White Horse as they travel through Tamriel. The upgrade also comes with the Imperial gear and the Imperial style customization options.
Joining the E3 2015
While fans are looking forward to any announcement or advance game details on “The Elder Scrolls 6,” it is likely that they will be disappointed since latest reports seem to indicate that Bethesda would not reveal anything regarding the game come the E3 2015 event.
Reports are rife that Bethesda will launch the the gameplay trailer of “Fallout 4,” since it is unlikely for the game developer to launch two products in the same franchise one week apart. The developer has also released the teaser trailer of “Fallout 4” on June 3 and it is expected that it will follow it up with a gameplay trailer launch of the role-playing game at the E3 2015.
“The Elder Scrolls” franchise usually releases a new title in every four to five years, except for the “Morrowind” sequel so it is very possible that the sixth installment would be released either later this year or early next year.
Long wait
After the success of “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim,” many are really expecting the sequel to come out soon from Bethesda.
So far, Bethesda has not confirmed any details regarding the “The Elder Scrolls 6,” leaving the anxious gamers and fans to speculate on a lot of things about the game.
There have been rumors about the gameplay of “The Elder Scrolls 6” alluding that gamers could do more exploration on Tamriel because the place has new provinces that have not been fully explored yet in Skyrim.
Even though a couple of areas in Tamriel were already introduced in Morrowind, there are still locations that have not been shown yet including the island of Vvardenfell which has been offered a glimpse in “The Elder Scrolls V” but was not fully explored yet.
With so many possibilities, “The Elder Scrolls 6” will more likely introduce new provinces and unravel formerly closed areas like the Hammerfell and High Rock which were previously seen in “Daggerfell,” but but just like in “Morrowind,” not everything on the two areas were made available to gamers.
The only thing ESO does is make me want to play Skyrim again. ESO is not a true Elder Scrolls game. It’s an Elder Scrolls Lite Edition.
Fallout 4 should hold me over until The Elder Scrolls VI comes out though.
It was never a total guarantee, but a chance that TES VI would’ve been teased at E3 this year.
Loads of immature people all over the Internet, claiming to also be Fallout “fans”, have actively shot down TES VI’s chances of being announced within these next couple of years with claims of a “0% chance”. It’s really annoying.
The thing is, it doesn’t even matter that Bethesda didn’t show TES VI this time at E3 2015. All it means is that they’re still working on that game.

Even better, the absence of any news of TES VI only means that Bethesda will spend at least one more year developing the game. The most sensible year of release for TES VI, when taking development patterns of past TES games into consideration, is sometime in 2017.
Skyrim took a little more than 5 years in total content-development time. TES VI will most likely take 6, and we’re already almost past the 4th year since Skyrim was finished and released back in 2011.
In short: Lack of announcement for TES VI this time should jade nobody. Good news is that TES veterans (including myself) KNOW it’s in development, due to the 2011 “Redguard” trademark.
Bulls**t. The redgurd trademark means nothing, since it was intented to be the name for one of the unreleased Skyrim DLCs. They renewed it, but didn’t use it. Nevertheless TES 6 obviously IS under developement. After breathtaking Skyrim’s success they wouldn’t let the chance of hugging another millions of dollars to pass ’em by.
I completely agree, Drakulus. The only thing ESO is worthy of is sending me back to Skyrim. I’ll be patiently waiting for TES VI while I slowly run out of Skyrim mods. *Thumbs up*
I think it’s going to come out in 2016 august or something. I really hope they release the game fast. if they don’t release the game until 2018 i will be worried about TES.
Elder Scrolls Online should never have been made. I can’t wait for a single-player sequel to Skyrim! In the meantime, I’ll play more Skyrim (with mods, because I’ve already played through the main quest three times) and Dragon Age Inquisition, which is the best of the Dragon Age games so far.
