The odds are pretty good that if you are a gamer, you have played one of the many titles in the Elder Scrolls video game series. The series was started back in 1994 with Elder Scrolls: Arena and it has been quite popular since then. The game features awesome graphics and gameplay that rivals many other games of the same type. It happens to be an action role-playing open world game and right now, that is one of the most popular genres of video game.
The video games are well known for their rich, over detailed content and the open world concept that just seems to continue into the dark for hours of free-form gameplay. Three of the most recent titles were given the “Game of the Year” nods from more than one respected sources over the years. In terms of sales, the series has sold for a combined total of 40 million copies worldwide. The most recent version of the game is called Elder Scrolls Online and that was revealed to the public back in 2012.
More than two years later, it was released for Windows PC and OS X in April of 2014. There are plenty of fans of games that like to play on their desktop computers, but when Elder Scrolls Online was released, there was hope for an Xbox One and Playstation 4 version as well. According to news outlets, those two versions were supposed to follow the release of the PC and Mac versions in June, but were delayed until June of this year.
Now the focus has been put on the possibility of a new game to be released this year. Elder Scrolls 6 rumors have been making the rounds and even though Bethesda Game Studios recently showed fans a trailer for Fallout 4, they are still expecting to see a new release. Fallout 4 was another game that was talked about for many years and fans were not sure it was ever going to be produced. With the studio spending so much time on that game, it is possible that Elder Scrolls was just set aside for now. According to one online source, Elder Scrolls 6 is supposed to be revealed later this year, saying that a new “Elder Scrolls” game is released every four years.
Since Elder Scrolls Online was already released this year, some fans are thinking that there will still be a new “version” released. Fans have been waiting a long time, but that does not mean that Bethesda is looking to release a second version of the game this year. There are even reports that coming in that suggest that you might not even see a new version of Elder Scrolls by March of next year.
