The gaming community may not hear anything official about "The Elder Scroll 6" just yet, but several rumors indicate that the upcoming game will feature a new gameplay and may include "Fallout 4's" building element. It is also rumored to have a release earlier than expected.

Bethesda, the game developer and publisher, is expected to present a new gameplay with its upcoming installment. This is also not the first time that a game will allow players to create houses. "The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim" has an expansion pack called "Heathfire" that allows its players to build houses and other structures. However, fans are expecting that the building elements will fit the game better than "Fallout 4," DigitalSpy reported

Concerning the release date, Bethesda might already be working on the upcoming game. Game director Todd Howard has confirmed before that they always overlap projects so it wouldn't be a surprise if the game exists somewhere deep down in the vault of the company. However, it is also known that the company does not reveal anything before any formal announcement on their projects, and they always do it when it there is already a specified release date, GamingBolt stated.

The company is also known in the community to deny anything related to an unannounced IP and would rather confirm until the last minute. However, for this game, the studio already mentioned that they have not started just yet. 

"The Elder Scroll 6" is speculated to have a 2020 release at the earliest. The studio has already confirmed two major games under development not so long ago.  These are AAA games and everybody knows how long these kinds of games take to create.

For the meantime, fans can look forward to the "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" Special Edition to arrive on Oct. 28. This will come with full mod support, all three DLC expansions and a complete graphical upgrade.
