| The next Elder Scrolls game is a long ways off, folks. Bethesda Softworks has a tendency to focus one game at a time, and with work on every version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion tapering off, their eyes have turned to Fallout 3. Of course, they have teams experimenting with upcoming projects simultaneously, so discussion on the follow-up to Oblivion have already started within their ranks. Speaking to Pro-G, the studio's VP of PR and marketing Pete Hines speculated a bit. "Well, I can tell you that since Oblivion has been such a smashing success that I'm sure we will do it [Elder Scrolls V], but there are no immediate plans right now," said Hines. As for what form Elder Scrolls V would take, that's still up in the air. An MMO seems a natural, evolutionary step for the series, but while Hines doesn't suggest that's a direction for Elder Scrolls V, the possibility of a new game has been bounced around. He doubts, however, they would go forward unless they had a "fresh idea" for the genre. Needless to say, don't expect to hear much about Elder Scrolls V for a couple years -- nearing the end of this generation's life cycle seems fairly likely. |
