'The Elder Scrolls' is a series of action role-playing open world fantasy video games primarily developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks.

There have been many rumors around the release of Bethesda's "The Elder Scrolls 6." The most recent reports hint to the possibility of the game coming out in 2017. Speculations are rife that Bethesda, the company that is developing the game, will launch the next installment in "The Elders Scrolls" franchise during the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E30) 2016 to be held on June 14 to 16.

Rumors are increasing as thrilled fans have spotted the most recent job search of Bethesda, indicating that the company is soliciting for a character artist who has the knowhow on role-playing games like "The Elders Scrolls," according to ZeniMax Media. The job advertisement is giving optimism to fans who believe this is an indication that the production is on going and they should anticipate the launch of 'The Elders Scrolls 6" in 2017.

However, it is important to note that Bethesda release of its "The Elder Scrolls" installments has been at intervals of four years. As a result, fans can only expect to lay hands on the sixth installment in "The Elder Scrolls" franchise in 2019, especially since the developer company released "The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited in June 2015.

An earlier statement from the vice-president for PR and Marketing at Bethesda, Pete Hines, indicated that "The Elder Scrolls6"is happening but not so soon, since the video developer is still concentrating on "Fallout 4," according to Neurogadget. Bethesda is yet to issue an official statement concerning the release date of the much-awaited "The Elder Scrolls 6."

Apart from the release date rumors, the location of the upcoming game has become a central subject of discussion among avid fans. Its settings will most likely determine the name of the sixth installment in "The Elder Scrolls" series. Gamers online have already predicted Valenwood, Elsweyr, and Black Marsh (Argonia) as some of the possible locations for the upcoming game. These regions are virgin spots for Bethesda.

Since there is no official confirmation from the game developer, fans should take this information with a grain of salt. Meanwhile, watch the sneak peek below to have a glimpse of what "The Elder Scrolls 6" will look like when it finally releases.
