Waiting for Elder Scrolls 6? "There will be a different console generation by then," says ESO dev

Even the most hardcore Elder Scrolls fans knows, deep in the marrow of their bones, that we're not going to see 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elder Scrolls 6 for a long, long time. Sure, it got announced at E3, but ZeniMax On🅠line Studios game director Matt Firor is here ಌto confirm that we're still a long way from a trip to Tamriel. 

"The easiest thing is look at how it was announced; it was Starfield and then [Elder Scrolls 6]. You can go back and count the years between 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bethesda Game Studios releasജes, and you'll get the idea that [The Elde💦r Scrolls 6 is] not coming anytime soon," he told  

You c🐻an be sure that the arrival of Elder Scrolls 6 is playing on Firor's mind. He's the boss of Elder Scrolls Online, and a new single p♓layer Elder Scrolls game will make an interesting test for the huge online adventure.

"I don't even know what the world is going to be like when it comes out; there will be a different console generation by then, I'm sure," continued Firor. "Who knows. But I know we're free and clear for a long time." Could all that talk of a new console generation point to a new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elder Scrolls 6 engine, as well? 

We did the Bethesda Game Studios releases math. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Skyrim was released in 2011, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fallout 4 in 2014, and this year sees the launch of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fallout 76. We'd expect at least two more years for Starfield, so 2020, and Elder Scrolls 6 by 2022 atꦅ the earliest. I've ch🦹ecked, and cryogenically freezing myself costs $28,000 (and I need to be clinically dead first), so I'll just have to wait like a normal human. 

The long wait means we have plenty of time to come up with crazy theories. Like that Bethesda's Redfall trademark is making people wonder if Elder Scrolls 6 could be set during a deadly plague...
