The Elder Scrolls 6: release date, news, and rumors
Bethesda fulfilled the wishes of Elder Scrolls fans when studio head Todd Howard confirmed at E3 2018 that the developer was working on the highly-anticipated The Elder Scrolls 6. Despite only seeing a short trailer, rumors started of immediately about where the latest title, Elder Scrolls, will be placed, when it will be released, and when we will hear more. We have collected and evaluated all the news and rumors about The Elder Scrolls 6 in this manual. Here is everything you need to know. (Update: It looks like The Elder Scrolls 6 isn't likely to show up at E3 2019. Read on for more.)

Cut to the hunt

We could start by spreading the bad news: you probably won't be playing The Elder Scrolls 6 anytime soon. The good news, however, is that this has been confirmed, you... eventually. The game was confirmed at the Bethesda E3 2018 conference, but nothing more than a logo has been given. We don't even have subtitles or release year. Todd Howard said the game would come after Starfield, the company's next big IP address. This means that Elder Scrolls 6 could be years away. Additionally, Youtuber SkullziTV (via GamesRadar) has taken a look at the challenges facing Bethesda parent company ZeniMax regarding the Redfall trademark it has applied for. According to SkullziTV, if the two sides fail to reach an agreement, we won't see any mention of Redfall (aka the rumored name of the next Elder Scrolls game) before at least 2021.

The only Elder Scrolls 6 footage we have is a very short excerpt from the game's logo. Other than that, you can wait a while to see more. Here's the announcement trailer: This Can Be Called Elder Scrolls 6: Redfall Bethesda may have used the Elder Scrolls 6 name on a brand. According to a Newsweek report, ZeniMax Media (Bethesda's parent company) has filed a new trademark for "Redfall" which the company claimed referred to "computer game software for use with video game consoles." This isn't solid, but it's very likely that the new Elder Scrolls will call Elder Scrolls 6: Redfall. Redditors believe the name is related to the location of Redfall in Tamriel or the Redguard race in the Elder Scrolls. However, Bethesda has not confirmed or denied anything. Elder Scrolls 6 Probably Won't Appear at E3 Although Elder Scrolls 6 was one of the highlights of E3 2018, it won't be making it to the Bethesda E3 2019 conference. At a PAX East conference celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Elder Scrolls franchise, Todd Howard, interviewed about Elder Scrolls 6 and some of the new technology used in its development, said Bethesda's highly anticipated titles Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield for the first pitch) "It's going to be long! This is not a topic we will be discussing, any of these games, at E3 this year, and so please hold on." Of course, talking about the game in great detail and showing another teaser to complete the series (maybe one that confirms its annoying name) are different things and we are sure that fans will keep hope of 39, another nod, so small, at this year's conference. Photogrammetry technology will be used. Bethesda has at least given fans a glimpse of the technology that will be used in the development of The Elder Scrolls 6. We take a look at the technologies used in the development of The Elder Scrolls 6. Photogrammetry, which consists of scanning real objects and environments to integrate them into the detailed 3D game. Technology will take its first steps to Starfield before the latest version of Elder Scrolls is used. Skyrim Grandma to Make an Appearance Speaking of photogrammetry, beloved YouTube star and Skyrim gamer Shirley Curry, known as Skyrim Grandma to her fans, announced on Twitter that she would be appearing in the Elder Scrolls 6 video. In the 25th anniversary video, we even got a glimpse of what could be her character created using the latest photogrammetry technology. Redfall trademark litigation. While fans are hoping to hear more about The Elder Scrolls 6, a legal battle between Bethesda's parent company ZeniMaz Media at BookBreeze.com could prove decisive. But a deal could be on the horizon. This legal battle has been going on for a while, while Bookbreeze.com (its author, Jay Falconer) was contesting ZeniMax's filing of a new trademark for "Redfall," which the company says it refers to. "Computer game software for computers and video game consoles." In other words, this may be the name of the next Elder Scrolls 6 game, due to the location from Redfall to Tamriel or Redguard Race to Elder Scrolls. However, Falconer claims that it has already developed a brand name under the Redfall name and, according to a blog post, it challenges the ZeniMax deposit "to protect what I consider to be brand property and to protect my right to sell books e-book and audiobook) and film / film rights ". "I want everyone to know that I am not trying to stop the game, nor am I trying to take money out of the game. I don't want anything from the game at all," he wrote. Falconer. "I'm just trying to protect my ability to keep selling my books." "It's just a dispute over a brand name." Nothing else. This is not a puncture. I don't want anything from them and this should in no way slow down a game. "That being said, we can bypass the USPTO together and find a free solution as soon as all parties have a conversation. We just need to have this conversation. I am ready and willing to be open to any solution."

However, as stated by our partner site, GamesRadar, a deal could be in the works. According to the US Patent and Trademark Office, the Redfall trademark registration documents indicate that ZeniMax has requested that the dates be postponed. 39; a month, the "parties participating in the discussions for an agreement". According to GamesRadar's research, these deal discussions are likely being used to avoid a lengthy trademark dispute, which would prevent us from hearing more about the official title. of The Elder Scrolls 6 through 2021. According to GamesRadar, discussions for a deal could mean one of three things:

Bethesda's showcase for E3 2019 dated and confirmed. The Bethesda Showcase for E3 2019 will kick off at 5:30pm PDT on Sunday, June 9. The horror shooter Doom Eternal has confirmed the appearance of him. Having been teased on the show last year, could we see The Elder Scrolls VI make an appearance? There's a good chance that, especially if this year's E3 coincides with the reveal of the PS5 and Xbox Two, we'd be surprised if Skyrim's scouting didn't focus on next-gen consoles. Elder Scrolls VI Goes Official Bethesda is a very active studio: Not only is it working on a new IP address, Starfield, but it's also continuing to grow for Elder Scrolls Online and committing to Fallout 76. And that's just across its major franchises. RPG. There is still a lot to do elsewhere with mobile games, Dishonored, Prey and others. Thanks to Todd Howard, we know that Bethesda is working on two new titles at the same time, although their development is lagging behind. We now know that one of them is Elder Scrolls 6. Returning to Skyrim after a while, Howard likened it to visiting an old friend from high school, adding that this time it had allowed him to see Skyrim as a gamer for the gamer. first time. For us, this would be the perfect time to start applying this new perspective to the next title in the series. At the very least, we can say that we know it won't just be called Elder Scrolls 6. There will be a colon and another word to round out the title if previous versions have anything to say. We're also willing to bet that, like every other game in the series, it will take place on the continent of Tamriel, the map of which is featured below.

Previous games have taken us to Highrock, Hammerfell, Morrowind, Cyrodil, and Skyrim. Valenwood, Elsweyr and Black Marsh are the biggest sites to explore. While there's still a lot of Morrowind to explore, we imagine a lot of it will be covered in the next Elder Scrolls Online title. So Valenwood, Elsweyr, or Black Marsh. Who seems more likely? Online rumors strongly point to Black Marsh, birthplace of the Argonian reptilian race in the world. There's no real reason for this rumor, but its swampy swamp and network of islands would bring an interesting geographic twist to the series, though it's a geography that does compare to Witcher 3. It's probably the least well-known region of Tamriel, so that Bethesda would have plenty of time to get creative. That being said, Elsweyr would also make for an interesting geographical change with its barren plains and barren lands that the Khajits call home. It would certainly be interesting to learn more about the culture of the Khajits or the Argonians so that these two wildly different contexts have understandable appeal to fans. There is a rumor, however, that Elder Scrolls 6 could be set in Valenwood. Valenwood is the homeland of the Bosmers and is a district of Tamriel that Bethesda hasn't explored much.

The rumor that the game will be created here is based on an internal Bethesda memo published in 2014. In this memo, Bethesda employees were looking to use the terms Fallout: Nuka World, Elder Scrolls VI, or Project Greenheart. Though originally false, Fallout: Nuka World proved to be great DLC for Fallout 4, lending a bit more weight to the rumor that Project Greenheart is actually the codename for the next Elder Scrolls title. The fact that Greenheart is a town in the Valenwood green makes it even more interesting. Forest and jungle are hard to access in games and it would be very interesting to see Bethesda get creative with the role of Tamriel, who would have shunned civilization and embraced the wilderness. It's hard to tell from the short E3 excerpt that we have the game, but our first impression is that the game world looks a lot more like Valenwood or Elsweyr than Black Marsh. In an interview with Eurogamer, Todd Howard confirmed that the team picked the location, but he won't tell us where.

What features can we expect?

House Building We are pretty sure that the game will involve building houses or creating cities to some extent. Skyrim introduced the idea of ​​designing and maintaining a homestead with its Hearthfire DLC, which Fallout 4 developed with the introduction of its settlement mechanism and the rebuilt Elder Scrolls Online with its Homestead DLC. This clearly leads to further extension of these features in the next Elder Scrolls title, which didn't feel completely finished in Fallout. This would be a feature that would fit particularly well into the buzz going around Valenwood, if the player had to adapt to the desert, as the Bosmer resident has his treetop cities. In the same way, the player used debris and junk food to create his rules in Fallout. You could also use your natural surroundings to create Elder Scrolls with a nice contrast.

A Whole New Story In a recent interview with Gamespot, Todd Howard said that Bethesda was trying to figure out exactly how it tells stories in its games. Howard noted that Skyrim and Fallout 4 took a slightly different approach to stories, with Skyrim leaving things more open to the player's vision and Fallout guiding them more firmly into one story. Now, he says the studio is trying to "tell a better story in an open world." He said: "Each of our games have had hits and misses and if you ask us internally, we have new ideas that we want to explore in the future because we feel like we haven't figured it out yet the way we thought." Being aware of the differences between approaches narratives of Skyrim and Fallout and the fact that they both have positive and negative aspects suggests that the next Elder Scrolls title could find a certain balance between giving the player completely free reign and telling a story about their character. It's hard to deny that The Witcher 3 has had a huge impact on player expectations in terms of packing an engaging story into an open-world game. While we didn't want Bethesda to just produce a copy of The Witcher (we're not sure that's possible), it does push Bethesda to achieve high-quality environmental goals. mission-based narrative. Something we don't think we'll see is multiplayer. Skyrim certainly doesn't suffer from a lack of multiplayer and it wouldn't make much sense to incorporate an online multiplayer game mode with Elder Scrolls Online.

VR This is certainly not a certainty, but the fact that Bethesda has published a full VR experience for Skyrim means it's not out of the question.

What would we like to see?

< p class="bordeaux-image-check"> Well, we would like to see and hope there will be better graphics and a reduction in bugs. The Skyrim Remastered version showed how things have evolved visually since the game's first release. Therefore, we expect any resulting title to be at that level, if not much higher, depending on the distance of the game. Thu There is a good chance that the game will be created with a completely new engine. After creating an entirely new engine for Skyrim, we don't think it's unlikely Bethesda will do the same for Elder Scrolls 6 and the Fallout suites. The Bethesda game studio in Montreal is currently hiring an engine programmer. Therefore, this space is worth looking at. (Image credits: Bethesda)
