'Elder Scrolls 6' release date rumors: Game to be announced on E3 in time for 2017 launch?
Despite Bethesda Softworks showing no signs of the existence of "Elder Scrolls 6," rumors insist that the long-awaited sequel to "Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim" will make its debut next month at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3).
According to reports, the title will be announced by Bethesda during the event with an announcement trailer previewing what the game is all about.
Bethesda has yet to confirm this, although media outlets suggest that the developer will be using the element of surprise in releasing "Elder Scrolls 6."
When "Fallout 4" was released last year without warning, Bethesda sold millions of copies and benefited with the out of the blue release by surprising gamers with the game hitting the stores earlier than they expected.
After that, Bethesda said that the time between the announcement and the release of a new title will be far shorter than it was back then. If Bethesda is employing the same technique with "Elder Scrolls 6," the much-awaited sequel will be launched on E3 and will be available shortly after.
Meanwhile, there are also reports that the game will be out in 2019, four years after the latest "Elder Scrolls" game – "Elder Scrolls Online Tamriel Unlimited" – came out.
Bethesda usually releases new "Elder Scrolls" titles four years apart. If that is the case, the wait will go on for three more years since "Tamriel Unlimited" was released last year.
When "Elder Scrolls 6" comes out, fans will reportedly see a resemblance between the new title and "Fallout 4" as the former will allegedly be using the same settlement settings the latter has.
There are also reports that "Elder Scrolls 6" will be set in the murky and muddy island of Argonia also known as the Black Marsh, one of the nine provinces in Tamriel.
The E3 will take place on June 14 to 16 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. If the new "Elder Scrolls" will be there, it won't be long before fans finally see what they have been wanting to see.
