Elder Scrolls 6 isn’t coming anytime soon

Elder Scrolls Online released last year on PC and just this past summer on both Xbox One and PS4. Also in the works at Bethesda is some game you may have heard of called Fallout 4.

At Gamescom, VP of Marketing Pete Hines spoke with Dualshockers and stated that as a result of both of these games that Elder Scrolls VI isn't going to come for a "very long time". According to HInes, everyone at the studio is working on Fallout 4 and they are 100 percent in on it to ensure the game releases on time.

Although this may disappointing, it does make total sense. If you remember at E3, Fallout 4 is going to have a vast number of customization options for weapons as well as the ability to completely change the landmarks, buildings and game environments to essentially make your own game within a game. All of these options are relatively new and will surely require more programming and testing. With an iconic franchise such as Fallout, it's understandable that Bethesday is prioritizing it over any new titles.

As far as guessing on Elder Scrolls VI, who knows? It's been about four years now since the release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skryim and we currently have Bethesda working on ESO, as well as completing development on Fallout 4. As great as a followup to Skyrim would be, let's focus on the brilliance that Bethesda is putting out now and enjoy those. Good things come to those who wait. I mean, hey, Fallout 4 is finally coming, right?
