Fans are already speculating whether game developer Bethesda Softworks will be unveiling "Fallout 4" or "Elder Scrolls 6" at the 2015 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in June.
iDigitalTimes wrote that Bethesda will probably not introduce "Elder Scrolls 6" soon, and that the game will be released several years in the future. Instead, "Fallout 4" will be detailed during the 2015 E3. According to iDigital Times, Bethesda believes that "Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" is still a hot game and they can further capitalize on it. It would be disruptive to "Skyrim" if the sixth instalment would be released too soon.
Master Herald reported that "Elder Scrolls 6" may be released in March 2016. There are rumors that Argonia might be the setting for the new game. Due to the swampy marshland environment, players who loved "Morrowind" might also sit comfortably in Argonia. There are talks that the next title might even be "Elder Scrolls 6: Argonia."
Majority of the players are certain that the game will be set in the continent of Tamriel, which has nine different provinces. Since the previous installments of "Elder Scrolls" explored Skyrim, Cyrodill, Morrowind, High Rock, Daggerfall and Hammerfell, it is likely that the next game will have gamers explore the lower regions or the four provinces of Summerset Isles, Elswyr, Black Marsh and Valenwood.
Another Master Herald report revealed that Bethesda already trademarked the name "Redguard," which is believed to be the official title of the next installment. A pattern was observed in which Bethesda trademarks a name before releasing it as the official title of their next "Elder Scrolls" game.
"Oblivion" was trademarked in 2002, the same year when "Elder Scrolls 4" Oblivion" was introduced. "Skyrim" was trademarked in 2006, the same year when "Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" was launched. "Redguard" was trademarked in 2011, but there was no "Elder Scrolls 6: Redguard" that followed. Bethesda also previously trademarked "Battlespire," "Daggerfall" and "Arena" but let these expire. The names are currently inactive.
The development team at Bethesda, with Todd Howard at the helm, is known to work on one game at a time. Ecumenical News reported that if "Fallout 4" will be unveiled at the 2015 E3, then "Elder Scrolls 6" will be released at a much later date. The good news is that Bethesda regularly launches a sequel to "Elder Scrolls" every four to five years. "Skyrim" was launched in 2011, so there might be some good news for fans on June 14, 2015.
