We’re all desperately awaiting an update onThe Elder Scrolls VI.
That being said,Bethesdashouldn’t rush development - especially given the mixed response toStarfieldand its recentShattered Spaceexpansion.
That franchise has turned out to be far more of a love-or-hate property than I think any of us expected.

I’m in the former ‘love’ camp, and recently awardedShattered Spacea score of eightbut, of course, we all have varying tastes.
You can never truly please everyone, although I’m imagining that Bethesda will be hoping to achieve wider acclaim withThe Elder Scrolls VI.
The game remains shrouded in mystery, likely many years away from launch.
In the meantime though, I have just the thing to keep you busy.

“Hunt nightmarish monsters from ancient folklore in a mysterious open world, collecting their enhanced sense powers and discovering elemental arrows. Beware, the hunter is also the hunted,” teases the synopsis.
It’s essentially a first-person open world action-adventure with a good dashing of horror thrown in there for good measure too.
Rather uniquely, the UI exists within the game world so, for example, you’ll actually need to glance down at your quiver to see how many arrows you have left.

If you’re still scratching your head at “heavy metal horror”, the soundtrack comes from Clifford Meyer - a member of several post-metal bands including Red Sparowes.
In a recentinterviewwith PCGamesN, developer Nate Purkeypile opened up about the size ofThe Axis Unseen, revealing that it’s “five times bigger thanSkyrim”.
That’s an exciting tidbit, but also a rather daunting one when you remember that the game doesn’t actually have a viewable map.
“I needed a lot of space for hunting creatures. Honestly, I was not super concerned about doing a giant open-world game because I’ve done six,” Purkeypile added.
