It may have been the basis for a question in our E3 community predictions quiz, but realistically, most of us weren't expecting Bethesda to even mention The Elder Scrolls VI at its press conference - and it didn't. Despite Bethesda's constant denial, however, we've always assumed that the project is underway behind closed doors. Not so, according to the company.
Speaking to PCGamesN, vice president of PR and marketing Pete Hines shot down the rumours once again. "[Bethesda Game Studios] have at least two major titles they are working on before we’re going to get to Elder Scrolls VI," Hines told the publication.
Now, we know that Bethesda has some sort of new property in the works, and Todd Howard has previously said that the studio is working on multiple large-scale projects, so holding off on a new Elder Scrolls title seems to make sense. That said, we didn't see anything new from the developer at Bethesda's E3 showcase the other day, so we suppose that the speculation's going to continue for some time to come.
What do you think? Is The Elder Scrolls VI really in development? Temper your expectations in the comments section below.

If that's the case it's not happening this gen.
Easier to keep re-releasing Skyrim and expansions for ESO than it is to make a new Elder Scrolls altogether.
If we're lucky we might get a trailer by the time Kingdom Hearts 3 is released.
This is so dumb, especially since TESO doesn't even come close to being a replacement for any proper elder scrolls game. It's not like WoW and the Warcraft series, where the former is good enough to replace the latter.
Next up, Skyrim comes to iOS and Android...with touch controls..
How dare they be on anything other than a Elderscrolls and Fallout rotation?!
Id LOOOOVE to see a new openworld ip! In my dreams it would be... Hmmm. KIND OF based in modern reality. Think big cities full of the hustle and bustle that comes with that but outside of all that you still have huge natury areas. Feilds and forests and mountains etc. And it will be based around paranormal stuff. Ghosts/spirits/possibly.... ALIENS!
I wouldn't be against a remaster morrow wind...
I kinda think they would say that even if they are actually in the process of making it. Make it a bigger surprise for when they announce it. But man I have been waiting a lifetime it seems for a new one to be announced!
Bethesda are either liars or idiots or both.
@kyleforrester87 bloody correct and in spite of your sarcasm! lol
