Speculations suggest that Bethesda is gunning for a 2018 release for "The Elder Scrolls 6."
According to Gamenguide, although developer Bethesda has already released another big-name project, "Fallout 4," together with its expansion content, the industry follower stated that there will be no other projects for the studio soon. Even with the last expansion, "Nuka-World," already out, Bethesda will continue supporting "Fallout 4," and the latest DLC is only the last one for the season. This means that another DLC run for the game is in the works, and Bethesda will be concentrating on that.
However, this doesn't mean that the studio has put the next "The Elder Scrolls" on the backburner. Although the studio is known to shift focus only on one big project at a time, rumor has it that a creative team has already ventured on what "The Elder Scrolls 6" will be about. While it is unconfirmed if the team is just conceptualizing or ready with pre-production, observers agree that "The Elder Scrolls 6" is already a confirmed title. Accordingly, speculations say that the next "The Elder Scrolls" game will figure prominently in the 2017 E3 trade show. Should this happen, then fans can expect "The Elder Scrolls 6" to be released in the market by early 2018.
Meanwhile, although no solid details have surfaced for "The Elder Scrolls 6," rumors about its plot and story are already surfacing online. "The Elder Scrolls" franchise has been one of the most complex stories that Bethesda has fielded in the industry, so most fans are waiting for what the next installment will be about. According to rumors, with the many possibilities regarding locations, it is more likely that "The Elder Scrolls 6" will deal with a whole new story and area in "The Elder Scrolls" world, rather than being a direct sequel to its predecessor, "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim." However, it can be counted on that the new game will still deal with the story of the next Dragonborn.
