Official Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Discussion Thread

they always come out quite close to each other recently , I mean Oblivion and Fallout 3 were both out in 2007 I think, New Vegas was October 2010 , Skyrim was November 2011, so we will find out in a weeks time whatever happens, I hope they announce it maybe optimistically with a release date in December this year or January next year, anyway back to skyrim, just got the '' master criminal trophy'' with my level 14 Aragonian Cam-Eron, only a few more to the lovely platinum

I would be amazing if we got anything announced at E3 this year about Elder Scrolls VI. Bethesda has made it no secret they prefer to announce games closer to their release dates, Fallout 4 last year being an example. They like to have the game mostly finished before they release it.

Dishonored 2 comes out in November. It may not be developed by them, but it is published by them and is a major, major title. They wouldn't release Elder Scrolls around the same time. It would hurt Dishonored's sales.

They've been at work pretty hard on the Fallout 4 DLC as well. If anything surprising comes out from Bethesda, it might be another massive, story driven Fallout 4 DLC announcement for later in the year.

I would think the earliest we can hope for Elder Scrolls VI is an E3/Summer 2017 announcement for a Fall 2017 release, or, which is the one i'm leaning towards, that same scenario except in 2018. That gives them time to work on character models, writing, lore, quests etc and wait until the new versions of consoles are more clear and they know exactly what they have to work with power wise.

TL;DR: My guess for ESVI is Fall 2017 at earliest, likely for Fall 2018.

If a remaster of skyrim is released on console with mod support, I will be a very happy man

Even if it's just a higher-res, smoother playing vanilla Skyrim (and its DLC) for PS4, I'd be happy with it. Provided, of course, all the bugs had been worked out. As much as I'm still enjoying the PS3 version, the game is freezing far too often, even with my characters with relatively smaller (right around 1 MB) save files.

I didn't mean to imply that it would, but it would almost be a necessary by-product of putting the game on the latest consoles. Putting out a fixed game (like it should have been in the first place) would be the top priority, of course.

That'd be nice.

OH MY GOD!

Yup. NHL 17 just likely got kicked off my list. Was actually going to replay Skyrim soon. Will now wait and play Oblivion instead



I'm not. It's always worth it. Fallout 4 DLC still being finished. The Skyrim Remaster was already being worked on, since porting it to current gen is how they did a baseline for Fallout 4 development.

Elder Scrolls is always worth the wait. I'm assuming 2017 will be full go on development with a slight chance on Holiday 2017 release, but more likely a holiday 2018 release. 7 years after Skyrim, but tons of time and work out into it.

They tend to like November for their big games. I'm expecting an E3 2018 reveal/announcement with November 2018 release. Slight chance of 2017. Remember they also don't like to announce until the game is nearly done as well.
