"Fallout 4" is complete and its last expansion pack has been announced. As a result, Bethesda will soon shift its focus on other games.

Series director Todd Howard confirmed at E3 that the company is working on the next installment in "The Elder Scrolls" franchise - "The Elder Scrolls 6," according to Kitguru. However, fans of the game will have to wait a little bit longer since besides the confirmation, Howard said that there are two more projects to be released before the next "Elder Scrolls" game.

Furthermore, Bethesda's vice president of PR and Marketing, Pete Hines, gave more details via IGN about the upcoming projects, saying that the two games will have the size of "Fallout 4" and "Skyrim." While "The Elder Scrolls 6" is in the works, Hines clarified that gamers will not be getting it for many years.

The release date for "The Elder Scrolls 6" might still be a long way off, but it is certain that the game will be superior, particularly because the studio will not be rushing to finish it. With the information that "The Elder Scrolls VI" will be launched after two major projects, fans have a timeline on when to anticipate the installment.

Details about the first two major games are yet to be unveiled since the developer has kept everything under wrap. As fans wait for many years to lay hands on the sixth installment in "The Elder Scrolls" franchise, they can enjoy "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" remastered that was revealed at E3. The refreshed version of "Skyrim" will be available for PS4, Xbox One, and the PC on Oct. 28.

In the remastered, fans should expect all DLCs of "Skyrim" and other features such as graphics improvement and console mod support. Watch the sneak peek below for further information on "The Elder Scrolls 6."
