Don't rule out Elder Scrolls V, afterall

As we reported a couple days ago, Todd Howard’s comments at QuakeCon seemed to indicate that Bethesda was not working on a follow-up to The Elder Scrolls IV. Those comments have since been clarified by Bethesda’s head of marketing, Pete Hines, who says the company does in fact have plans for The Elder Scrolls V.

“Both Todd and I have said repeatedly that, of course, we’re going to do another Elder Scrolls game. The last one was enormously popular. So was the one before that. You get the idea. So do we,” Hines wrote on the Bethesda Blog.

The company is working hard on its next big game, which, Hines said, it isn’t ready to discuss. “As always, we prefer to have something amazing to show when we talk about it. We aren’t ready to confirm or deny or comment on speculation, nor are we going to give hints, about anything.”

Fans of the popular RPG can now look forward to a new Elder Scrolls, at least that’s what Hines seems to indicate without making an official announcement.

    Seems like you only get one Elder Scrolls per console lifetime.  Here's to Elder Scrolls V on PS4.

    I'm sorry but Elder Scrolls IV was a horrible game, Fallout 3 was garbage so i dont expect much out of Bethesda

    it would be one TES per console lifespan if it all consoles had a short lifespan like the original Xbox. TESV will make it this gen.

    Might be good. I hope they sort out the issues people had with Oblivion, but even with issues there just isn't a game that can replace it tbh.

    Thank goodness for that. The Elder Scrolls games have been fantastic, I've been looking forward to the next one since Oblivion was released.

    @4

    I was thinking the same. I think it will come out this gen but not anytime soon.

    @12 I think most people like you don't understand the difference between "This game is crap/ horrible" and "The game is great in it's own right but I am personally not interested".
