Do you think we will see another Elder Scrolls

Short version is YES you will see TES6.

the new IP's probably put it about 2 years behind schedule, thats OK though because thats what ESO was brought out for, to give Bethsda room to work on other stuff in the time they would normally being doing a FO or TES release.

Bethesda recently posted the following tweet announcing their E3

https://twitter.com/bethesda/status/694177212115894272?lang=en&lang=en

The Dovahkiin is front and center.

Last year was the 1st time Bethesda had ever had an E3 conference and Hines said the only reason they were there was because the time felt right and they had alot of big stuff to show that made it worth it(Fallout 4). Hines also said don't expect us to be back here anytime soon....so Bethesda must have a BIG announcement at E3 else they wouldn't be there.....

My hunch is they will tell us TES6 is being worked on(confirming its existence) and will probably unveil one of their new projects, or they will flat out announce TES6 just like they did FO4 (I doubt it, i think a release is a year or two off, but you just never know with Bethesda, sometimes they surprise you)

ESO is a few lag fixes away from being a gem when looked at as an MMO. comparing it to the single player titles isn't fair as there is far more freedom in the single player titles and they can release the Creation Kits and stuff, you can't do that with an MMO so the two really are not comparable that way.

No worries though, you will see TES6 at some point. No way they don't release another one, too much money to be made.

So that pic. is a line up of what they will be doing and talking about at E3?

ZeniMax Media = parent company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZeniMax_Media
Bethesda Softworks = TES publisher https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethesda_Softworks
ZeniMax Online Studios = ESO publisher https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZeniMax_Online_Studios

Note the board of directors for ZM, "Robert S. Trump (President, Trump Management, Inc.; brother of Donald Trump." He's gonna make ESO great again. LOLZ!

From what I've read, there is a 5-year plan in place for new content, development, and support for ESO. So by that logic, one could assume we will not be seeing a new Elder Scrolls installment for at least that long. I can't imagine they would try to juggle both ESO and a new Elder Scrolls at the same time, but who knows.

I seriously doubt that the corporation would wait 5 years to rake in the profits on one of its most successful and profitable single player gaming franchises. It will figure out how TES and ESO can successfully co-exist, and, honestly, they probably already have.

EDIT: Expect a TES VI teaser at E3 this year.

Im sure the plan for ESO goes well beyond five years. That being said Howard told everyone the entire bethesda studio was working on fallout 4. What he was saying basically is that ESO gives elder scrolls lovers something to do until prob 2017 when the next ES single player game comes out.

I can't stand that zone. Yesterday I was running around for the sky shards and it seemed like every 20 meters there was a puddle 2 feet wide that was /just/ deep enough to cause a dismount. 50 franking crocs and wamasu lining the edges of the swamp but 'edge' is a subjective definition in a land where the cobble pathway disappears under the standing mosquito-infested water. Made simple movement feel like I was grinding travel distance.

Yeah, that article is one of those articles that jumps on anything not said about Elder Scrolls and applies it to the Elder Scrolls rumors.

TES 6 will not be "Skyrim 2". This is a media fabrication.

The last DLC for Fallout 4 was not just released.

Skyrim remastered for PS4 and XBox One will have no impact on the setting for TES 6, but could delay it.

I would bet against them saying anything about Elder Scrolls 6 at E3 this year. The only way they would do that would be if they decided to change how the release information about upcoming games. There is an almost zero chance that this will be the last big Bethesda press event before Elder Scrolls 6 comes out.

jamesharv2005ub17_ESO · March 2016

I doubt he says anything either. He said back summer of 2015 it would be 2017 before we heard anything about a new elder scrolls single player game.

Todd Howard's team is already working on TES VI, they jump from TES to Fallout then back to TES and keep the pace going. There was a cool interview with him a while back discussing their development cycle. They don't take a lot of breaks, they just jump from one title to the other and tend to throw ideas around for the next while finishing up the last title.

Every article I have read indicates that his team is working on two new IPs and Fallout DLC and not a TES game.

They are supposed to be announcing some new projects at e3 this year.

Right and I highly doubt it will be a TES game.

The_Lex · March 2016

I was thinking maybe a title teaser - nothing more.

In a previous interview with Pete Hines, Bethesda vice president for marketing, he confirmed that “The Elder Scrolls 6” is indeed in the works.

that was my take away from it.

the article prefaces that their are "rumors" about a skyrim 2 and all that. Although i agree it is doubtful that it will be a second skyrim (personally i thought skyrim was the worst of all of them), but you also cant say it wont be a second skyrim.

the article said that fallout 4 was "recently" released. this is a true statement. I would consider anything released this month as recent.

last, if there is something at e3 about it, I fully expect it to be a small teaser and nothing more. a tiny 30 second clip which will basically be title screen with elder scrolls on it. I have zero hope that it will have a full dialogue or a q&a etc. on it. SImply a teaser which will be followed up in 2017 with real information and a possible release year which i would anticipate to be 2018. 2018 is a legitimate timeframe for the release given their usual time between games.

ESO was never even remotely considered to replace the single player franchise. This has been stated well before ESO even launched by Bethesda, Zenimax, and ZOS. I also believe Todd Howard stated it a couple times along with Matt Firor.

Had ESO been sufficiently popular with a massive number of subscribers..... that would have been $15 a month per pouring into their pockets indefinitely rather than $20-$200 for each game released once every 5 or more years.

And I take what anyone says with a grain of salt. Especially an MMO developer. I could break this forum listing only half the lies told to us by them over the years. Like any business they will say, in the moment, whatever they think will result in them making the most money. Which is the point of business.

I only said they might have considered it. You are essentially claiming omniscience - to know that such a thing was "never even remotely considered". I feel much safer in my statement.

Sorry, didn't know stating fact meant I know every thing. Go dig up Q & A's from 2013 and you'll find that question asked many many times. And it's always answered with a "No, The Elder Scrolls single player games will still be developed."

Also.... you need to remember that even though ZOS and Bethesda work closely in lore and other such things found in the TES universe, they are essentially two different companies.

It would be suicide for Bethesda to abandon their most popular series. This is common sense..... but then again, common sense isn't exactly common any more.

ZOS and Bethesda are two separate companies so Bethesda could have another elder scrolls in the works already. ZOS has nothing to do with the single player franchise

It does have an effect. Same parent company, same IP. I expect to see a new game, but it is hard to assume that the schedule for TES 6 will not consider ESO.

I know, I was kindly reminded of this above by another comment. Somehow I forgot that it is 2 separate companies - not sure what I was thinking! Thanks though

Here are Todd Howard's own words, recently made at a game conference. This may help some people in this thread understand why this is even a question in the first place:

"We have three longer-term projects we're doing that are all...we'll talk about them at a much future date," he said. "But they're different than anything we've done before while also being a Bethesda-style game; big and crazy. But in many ways different than things we've done before."

So, personally, I don't think Todd Howard's team is working on Elder Scrolls 6. However, this does not preclude Bethesda from handing development over to another studio- whether in-house or not.

Economically, it does not make sense for Bethesda to kill one franchise it owns (ESO) with the release of another, competing game in said franchise (ES6).

I think Howard and his team are on to a new IP. Something to clean the creative palate, as it were. Howard has personally been involved in ES in one form or another since Arena, no? I couldn't fault the man if he wanted to explore something new (hopefully set in space, but that's just pie-in-the-sky guessing on my part).

He recently revised his statement:

"I should have never said a number because we have so many things," Howard says. "You could add it up in different ways. You could say it's bigger or smaller. They're a long way off. I think the larger point was, no one should expect to hear about those anytime soon. We always overlap projects. We just have more going on now than we had before."

ContraTempo · March 2016

Bethesda seems to feel they can still make money off ES so yes, they will have a new one. Eventually.

Not milking.It's called selling,as it isnt free.

Don't be daft. After the sales of skyrim do you think they wont do another one? Adding dlc to a game also is not "milking" the original game.

They're already working on a new TES game.

- TES and Fallout games are cyclical, with or without ESO. Given the success of ESO, don't be surprised if a Fallout MMO is being talked about by the suits. If so, after another year or two focus might turn to ramping up TES VI (which they may have in pre-production now) and laying the ground work for a new MMO.

I don't mean to offend, but what is your basis for saying this other than pure speculation akin to a clickbait site?

I get it that everyone assumes there'll be a ES6 from Bethesda but Howard's recent comments surely don't lend credence to to the confidence in your statement.

I very much want an ES6 game from BGS but I won't believe it till it's announced. Hell, even in my own home, speculation on this invites the 'the look' from my wife
