It seems that barely two months after insinuating the prospect of having “The Elder Scrolls 6” being Bethesda’s main dish for E3 2016, reports are now going around that the developer seems to have put the game in the backburner for good.
While it would still be working on the development of the game, the insinuations going around these days is that Bethesda would be focusing on the continued development of “Fallout 4” which is set to roll out to the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One in November this year.
After getting privy to reports that “The Elder Scrolls 6” will be featured at the E3 2016, many of its fans and gamers were already anticipating the possible release date of the game to be either in late 2016 or early 2017.
However, with the extreme concentration being poured by Bethesda on “Fallout 4,” there is a good chance that “The Elder Scrolls 6” would be rolled out in 2018.
Apparently, Bethesda is highly optimistic of the sales showing of “Fallout 4” starting November this year that the developer will continue to focus on its updates including DLCs and patches and milk the most of the role-playing title.
It is not clear however why Bethesda would need plenty from its development team for “Fallout 4” after its release to the retail markets when, in fact, they shall only be focusing on updates instead of the usual game development.
I hope The elder scrolls 6 will not be “Skyrim 2”. There is still much of Tamriel left for a title game other than Skyrim and revisiting Skyrim would not be a good decision when they could visit one of the other provinces not previously done. After visiting Morrowind, Cyrodill, Skyrim, Solstheim in Morrowind and Skyrim, High Rock and Hammerfell in the last 5 games, there are still 4 more provinces to save the world from. Summerset isle, Elsewer, Black Marsh and Valenwood.
I would much rather see a new Elder Scrolls game in one of those provinces rather than revisit Skyrim. That would just be boring and I’m sure other people agree with me.
