It’s been 84 years… Okay, so it’s actually been six years, but it feels longer because of how prematurely the game was announced. Ask anyElder Scrollsfans and they’ll tell you that releasing a trailer that earlywas a mistake.
Nonetheless, while Bethesda clearly has some bridges to repair, especially afterStarfield, it has managed to win us back with talk ofThe Elder Scrolls VIbeing the “the ultimate fantasy-world simulator”.

For those looking forElder Scrollslike titles,Reign of Guildsis one you’ll want to stick around for
Skyrimsucceeds so well in giving gamers what they want – to the point that we refuse to acknowledge the age of the game, instead choosing to focus on whether we caneat ourselves to deathjust for funsies.
But it doesn’t have that truly immersive quality that we’re expecting – no,demanding– from the next Elder Scrolls game. We want to be able to almost taste the very air of the game, though we doubt Todd Howard can come through on that feature, even though he’d likely promise as much.

In truth though, we just want to see this game launch, much like theSkyrimloving grandmawho fears she’ll be dead beforeElder Scrolls VIcomes out. If Bethesda and Todd aren’t going to do it for the majority of the fandom, at least do it for grandma.
As far as we’re aware, and according toBethesda, the next Elder Scrolls saga is still in its “design phase”, which doesn’t exactly instil confidence that it’s headed for release any time soon.
But where there’s gamers there is hope, and where there’s hope there are fools, but fools we must be if we’re to get the kind of features we want to see in this RPG.
