[dropcap]W[/dropcap]ith more than 10 million copies sold in the first month alone, elder Scrolls 5 quickly became one of the most acclaimed video games of 2011. The Elder Scrolls 6 however, should aim higher.
Elder Scrolls 6? Is it a fact?
Bethesda has recently announced an online version of the game, The Elder Scrolls Online. Along with the announcement, rumors of a sixth Elder Scrolls title have already emerged online and offline among gamers and fans of the franchise. While fans of the game speculated on whether they were fact or pure fiction, Bethesda has released a couple of teasers on the Vine which caused gamers from all around the world to explode. They are now divided into two major groups: those who expect the teasers to be announcing the future Fallout title and those who expect an official announcement on the Elder Scrolls 6 title.
Elder Scrolls 6 release date
Officially, the Elder Scrolls 6 does not exist, not yet however. Therefore, we can only speculate on the date the game will be release. However, a recent job announcement from Bethesda slightly confirmed the rumors as they called for experienced programmers ready to work for an unannounced game developed for “future-generation consoles.” Could it be Fallout? Could it be Elder Scrolls 6? Well, only Bethesda knows. While they express their interest in finding an experienced developer specialized for the Xbox 360 and PS3, they mention nothing about the game they will work on. But let’s look on the Scroll’s timeline for a second.
Elder Scrolls 3 was launched in 2002, Elder Scrolls 4 in 2006, Elder Scrolls 5 in 2011. Should we expect another 4 or 5 years gap between the latest and the future version? According to the timeline, Elder Scrolls 6 will be launched somewhere between 2015 and 2016.
Elder Scrolls 6 story line
We know nothing about the launch date, the game was not yet been announced officially. We can speculate however on the location of the game, as it seems more likely the story to take place on the continent of Tamriel, similar to the other titles of the series. While it was rumored that in the online version announced lately the players will be able to travel across the continent, we may expect that this will not be the case in the Elder Scrolls 6 game.
Concerning the fans of the Elder Scrolls series, they are again divided. Some wish to explore old and familiar regions of the continent, some would want Bethesda to take a new approach and create a whole new world, other than Tamriel. We know only one thing for sure: Elder Scrolls 6 will be another major hit. If not for its novelty, it certainly will, for the tremendous amounts of fans that gathered around the franchise.
