Next Elder Scrolls Game

The Elder Scrolls series has always focused on Tamriel, regardless of the fact we know the world itself is called Nirn. While making a new game that focuses on the continents beyond Tamriel would be intriguing it would practically be a different game entirely. For one thing do the outer continents even have Elder Scrolls of their own?

Make solo game in other region of tamriel

I'd rather play a new solo game. Not much into the mmorpg mechanics/endgame any more. Not to fault ESO. It is an mmorpg. I hope we still get to have new games with the original TES concept single-player games. I'm hoping we get something as good as Morrowind with updated graphics.

MMORPG of all of known Nirn, including, Tamriel, Akavir, Atmora, Yokuda, Pyandonia, Aldmeris, and Thras

Assuming they add spellcrafting, housing, fix inventory problems etc. then I'd love to see more of the world in ESO. It's generally more fun to play with others.

Though if they do make more single-player games, after their experience with ESO and with multiplayer increasingly becoming the norm, I would expect future titles to include multiplayer co-op. And I'd be happy to play those.

Honestly, I haven't loved (or even finished yet) Oblivion or Skryim but I bought them both because I enjoyed Morrowind so much. And ESO has a major disappointment on several fronts. But I'm likely to die long before the Morrowind goodwill dries up so I'll keep buying their games.

Its already a done deal. With Fallout IV in a few days, Todd Howard and crew were rumored to have already started on Elder Scrolls VI: (either Black Marsh or .... Hmm cant remember Elsewhere, I think) at last summers Quakecon. Zenimax Media denied the rumor immediately. So, believe what you will of that.

If it was my company, yeah, i would privately have a ES solo play in development, even if publicly I was supporting the MMO. To do otherwise would be insane if the MMO went belly up.

Well the thing is despite the series being called The Elder Scrolls little no nothing is know about them. All that is know they are older than anything on Nirn, no one knows where they came from, tells of the past and future events, can cause a dragon break, as powerful as the divines them selves, and are fact a living being that are always changing the events of time it self by the deeds of every day mortals.

So we do not know if "all" the Elder Scrolls are souly on Tamerial or if there are tens or even hundreds of more Elder Scrolls off Tamerial and are in Atmora, Akaviir, or even at the place elves came from. Do we even know and Kyne forbid if any Daedric prince has one? After all Skyrims Dawnguard DLC the vampire princess did have a scroll and her father was a servent of Molag Bal.

Why is this poll on this site? ESO was not made by the same company that made the other ES games and I doubt they can get the legal permission to make a single player game as that is Bethesda's territory...

I doubt we'll see another TES MMO. I also seriously doubt we'll see co-op or whatever in TES:VI (IF there ever is one), since that'd likely mean no mods, and no mods = R.I.P TES

Valenwood only(not any other region). I want to know more about the cannibal elves(green pact).I want to see a rebellion between the city wood elves ( who don't follow the green pact ) and the green pact wood elves.

Zenimax owns both Bethesda and Zenimax Online.

Skyrim sold 20 million copies. How many players left in ESO to keep buying expansions?

What is this?

Do we have to guess what the next game will be or do you want us to vote on what we want?

Where is the lol button?

I don't need an LOL button, but.. yeah, it doesn't matter what we want; they're working on it already while we're talking about it, whatever it might be.

Really depends of settings and features, I like to have a large amount of different scenery. I wasn't into Skyrim as much as Oblvion and Morrowwind mostly because though beautiful I wanted to see different stuff.

mtwiggz

Really depends.

I've played all of the previous TES games, all of which I loved. Marrowind still being my absolute favorite. During all of my adventures through Tamriel I've always wanted the option to play online with friends, thus ESO being a must have.

With that said; I'd much rather expansions onto ESO than a TES single player game. Under the condition that they actually fix game breaking bugs, exploits, balancing issues, latency issues, load screen issues, etc. If things were to stay the same as they are now I would trash ESO in a heart beat for a new single player TES game.

Zenimax owns both Bethesda and Zenimax Online.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZeniMax_Media

Just because Zenimax Media owns Bethesda and ZoS, doesn't mean they will forbid or require a new ES title. Bethesda has their own campaign as does ZoS, Zenimax Media is just the corporate entity that monetarily and legally controls both developers. ZoS basically just consulted Bethesda for the lore and mechanics of ESO, but when it comes to the single player ES IP, Bethesda will almost certainly be the dev in control of it.

Regardless, I'm sure that a new ES title will be announced before the end of 2016.

Bethesda could shake thing up with Elder Scrolls: Akavir.

Tamriel folk thought Martin Septim's sacrifice stopped the Daedric invasion of Nirn. But he only played a part.

A similar crisis had befallem Akavir but the Dragon Emperor of Akavir relit the Dragon Fires of his continent.

The heir of Tosh Raka comes to claim the throne of Tamriel, to claim dominion over the entirety of Nirn.

Traditional ES game please. Skyrim 2 could be the best business move though, at least Ive strange feeling about it. I wish I could play with my ESO character next ES game.

Bethesda will make the next Elder Scrolls game so there's a big chance it will be a solo game, just like Obilivion and Skyrim.

Because, this is a PLAYER made poll. And, pretty much, unless ZoS decides to censor it, they will leave it up.

AshTal

Make future expansion adding all regions of tamriel to ESO

Have to say I would be very torn between a new Elder Scrolls game and ESO. I guess it depends what and how ESO adds new content. I can very much see me stopping ESO for a new Elder Scrolls single player game if the future DLC's don't add a lot more single player content, and if I have to grind through Cadwell silver and Gold and an empty Craghorn on every alt.

I seriously doubt that Zenimax would allow Bethesda to actively develop a new single player TES game that would compete with ESO while ESO is still viable. You haven't seen any more single player KOTOR games from Bioware since The Old Republic began development, have you?

Anyway, I wouldn't expect to see a new TES single player game before 2018 at the earliest, even if they give up on ESO tomorrow.

Bethesda and ZOS are a lot more closely tied than some of you seem to want to realize. They're far from completely separate entities. They're more like separate development teams working for the same company. They share most of their executive and administrative staff (like Pete Hines, who does PR for both).

I think that it's highly unlikely that one is going to be allowed to develop a game that would compete directly with the other. I doubt we'll see a new TES game as long as ESO is still viable and releasing new content.

While you may be correct from a business standpoint, that a single player ES title will draw players from ESO, it just doesn't seem like smart marketing. Single player fans will flock to ES:VI, but that leaves all the MMO-lovers who are the ones partaking in pvp and endgame content anyway. Sure, there are a handful of solo players who went to ESO because it was the latest ES title, but that couldn't account for more than 25% of the current player base. The ones that enjoy the multiplayer part of ESO will stay. Not only that, but a single player ES title would be a finite game, while ESO has more longevity (if ZoS can keep cranking out content). Imo, it would be a smart business model to allow both games on the market at the same time. They can satiate both parties without forcing the single players into a model that just doesn't fit what they're looking for.

Now as for your KOTOR and SWTOR argument, I find that invalid as kotor 2 released in 2004 and swtor in 2011, with the initial announcement of development for swtor in 2008. The single player kotor games were dead in the water long before swtor was started. Bioware was starting on their mass effect franchise and had probably thought that they milked the kotor IP for all it was worth before someone said..."Hey, that WoW seems to be doing well. Let's jump on that bandwagon. It'll give the kotor fans something to stop crying about and make us a ton of money! Killing two birds with one stone, amiright?"

Like I said, though: You may be right as far as Zenimax's marketing plan is concerned, but it wouldn't kill ESO if another standalone ES game was released.

There will be another single player TES for sure. As an example, FFXI was an MMORPG and during its prime FFX-2, FFXII and FFXIII were released. This MMORPG is still on-going despite FFXIV, the new main MMO being heavily developed. So you can cast your thoughts away that having an Elder Scrolls MMO is going to effect anything. Sure it's a different company, but these companies all have various development teams. ZeniMax Media is no different.

As I said above, ZeniMax Media Inc. has many different development teams. Bethesda Game Studios is the team we all know that makes the single player TES and Fallout series. This team generally focuses on one game at a time and the quality shows! Since Fallout 4 is coming out this year and will most likely have various DLC and patches for a couple more years. You can expect the next TES to be around 2020 at the absolute earliest. For a little more insight, Fallout 4 was in early development around Skyrims release in 2011.

It won't matter what the next one is, if it has Z$S on it, no one will touch it with a ten foot barge pole...

Dagoth_Rac

Bethesda will release a solo TES:VI in the next couple of years. ZOS will keep releasing DLC for ESO all the while. The MMO and single player games will exist in parallel. I do not understand this weird belief that it has to be one or the other. The parent company has completely different teams and have even set up separate companies to manage TES and ESO separately. This is not a zero-sum game.

This poll is flawed or manipulative, you gave 1 choice to single player voters and 3 choices to split the mmo fans up lol.
