While Bethesda already confirmed its plans for the much-awaited "The Elder Scrolls 6," the game developer is still elusive with regard to the development and the release date. The sixth installment in "The Elder Scrolls" franchise was initially believed to arrive sometime in 2018, but with the recent reports and the revelation of the developer's other projects; rumors are rife that "The Elder Scrolls 6" may be pushed to 2019.
It may not be true that "The Elder Scrolls 6" will be adopting a virtual reality (VR) format. While the industry is slowly and steadily evolving to have the VR come out soon, it seems Bethesda is not keen on VR support for its much-rumored title, "The Elder Scrolls 6."
The game developer's vice president Pete Hines previously assured aficionados via Express UK that "TES 6" is definitely a part of Bethesda's plans. However, Hines was quick to clarify that the game is not an immediate priority for now.
"It's coming, just not as soon as you probably hoped," Hines told the publication. "We aren't working on 'TES6' at the moment."
Amid the disheartening news, avid fans are still optimistic that updates will soon come out about the anticipated title. Many were event disillusioned when "The Elder Scrolls 6" was absent at Gamescom earlier this year.
The wait for the release of the sixth installment in the franchise seem to be longer, according to Game N Guide. The developer has pointed out that there are two other projects in the works before "TES 6."
It is even worse for fans since the company has focused all its efforts on the two upcoming projects before embarking on "The Elder Scrolls 6." Bethesda is yet to reveal the titles of the two projects, and therefore, it is uncertain whether they are sequels or new games entirely.
The studio appears to be in hot water with its fanbase lately, particularly with the issues around "Fallout 4" and its PS4 mods. Fans can only hope that Bethesda releases some information soon.
For now, aficionados can look forward to the release of "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" Special Edition that is slated for a release on Oct. 28. Watch the footage below for more information on the release date of "The Elder Scrolls 6."
