The Elder Scrolls is a franchise that set the gold standard for what a great Western fantasy role-playing game can be. In the years since the release of its last mainline entry, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, games like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt have exceeded what Skyrim accomplished in many ways.
Fans are hungry for more details regarding Elder Scrolls VI, and boy has the studio been secretive since its reveal teaser at E3 2018. Let's now take a look at everything we know and hope for so far for Elder Scrolls VI.
11 🤡 Skyrim🐭 Grandma Cameo (Confirmed)
If you're unfamiliar, Shirley Curry is an 82-year-old woman who built an online reputation for playing 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and even developed the nickname "Skyrim Grandma." She fell in love with the game and the uncommon sight of a grandma playing a fan⛦ta꧑sy RPG helped her grow a massive following.
Bethesda Softworks announced during a stream celebrating the 25th anniversary of the franchise that Shirley Curry would appear in Elder Scrolls VI in some capacity. It's unclear if Bethesda wa🐲s influenced by a petition her fans made to get her into the game.
10 ꦯ Xbox Marketing Partnership♎ (Hope For)
Bethesda as a publisher and Microsoft have had a strong relationship when it comes to the marketing campaigns for the publisher's large AAA titles. Their partnership has even extended to first reveals🍌 of games or gameplay happening during Xbox's E3 Press Conferences.
It may not seem like a trailer ending with an Xbox or PlayStation logo seems all that impꦏortant, but you'd be surprised at the effect it can have. Video game players who are more casual often see those commercials and think those games ar꧂e exclusive to the marketed platform, often influencing purchasing decisions.
9 You'll Start In Jail (Confirmed?) 🍰
The Elder Scrolls series has a long-running tradition of having the player start the game under arrest. This was last showcased in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim as the game started with the player riding in a wagon, tied up,🐻 on their way to their own execution.
The previous title, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion had an opening where players had to escape from a jail cell. Don't expect the next gam🌱e to be any different, but it may do it in a new and unique way that feels refreshꦐing while also sticking to the long-running joke.
8 Better Combat (H🔯ope For) ﷽
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was a critical and commercial hit that broke the series into the mainstream. Like its predecessors, the game𓄧 had many strengths that helped elevate it, but it also♋ had some glaring issues.
The game's combat was fine, but using a weapon always felt floaty and inaccurate. A big focus going into the development of the 6th entry in the series should have been improving and refining the combat system. Elder Scrolls is more about the൲ world than the combat, but that doesn't mean the combat shouldn't or couldn't be great.
7 Starfield Comes Firs♔t (Confirmed)
At E3 2018 Bethesda Game Studios did something out of character when they revealed both Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI. This was partially due to them being uncertain about Fallout 76, and fans non-stop asking about the next mainline Elder Scrolls title.
is set to be their space-focused science fiction RPG and they've confirmed that it is their next big release and that Elder Scrolls VI would follow it in the release lineup for the studio. With Starfield having no release date in sight, it means that Elder Scrolls VI is even farther away.
6 It May Take Place in Redf🐈all (Hope For)
The Elder Scrolls community is one that is known for being dedicat๊ed beyond belief. It may be unclear when the next game is coming out, but that hasn't stopped fans 𝓰from created dozens of theories in regard to where the game will take place.
These fans have even gone as far as to take the landscape shown in the teaser reveal trailer and approximate where it fits in the overall world map. Depending on who you ask and what online threads you're following it seem the game will take place in either Redfall, High Rock,ꦯ Valenwood, etc.
5 It's In Developmen♚t (Confirmed)
With the game's industry being as secretive as it is, the fact that players know the game is in development is a win in and of itself. It's one thing to assume a project is being worked on due to development patterns, but you never know if things change or move around. Even though it was just a flyover of terrain followed by the logo, that tease at E3 2018 bought the team a number of years at the time. Fallout 76 may haꦐve accelerated the timeline Bethesda Game Studios was working under and we could see their next big game sooner than we thought.
4 Won't Be Multiplayer ꦓ(Hope For)
Bethesda and Bethesda Game Studios have been dealing with the glaring problem in the room that is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fallout: 76. Over the course of several updates and content drops the multiplayer wasteland title has improved, but the reputation it built out of the gate is hard toꦫ overcome.
The publisher and its developers likely learned a lesson and will stick with what they know they do best, a single-player role-playing game experience. Considering Elder Scrolls: Online eꦅxists, it also makes it 𓂃so the franchise already has a go-to multiplayer playground.
3 ꦉ Next-Gen Release (Confi༒rmed?)
As we'll get into in the next entry, the game is a number of years away. With the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X set to release in 2020, it's a logical conclusion that Elder Scrolls VI will ꦓm๊ore than likely be a next-generation release.
For the first few years of a new console, generation publishers release their games on both the old and new platforms in order to take advantage of the established player bases on last-gen consoles. With Elder Scrolls VI likely releasing no earlier than 2022 or 2023, a focused next-gen release seems more 🦋likely.
2 Will Learn From The Wiꩲtcher 3 (Hope For) ♔
The most well-received and critically acclaimed Western fantasy RPG to release in the years since Skyrim's release was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. CD Projekt Red set a new gold standard for what should be expected from a large expansive RPG world and gave the play♛ers meaningful side quests. Whether or not the title's combat holds up is a rather divisive topic, but no one denies the sꦜtaying power the world design, quest detail, and writing has had on the game's industry. Bethesda were the kings, but can they manage to take back the crown?
