_______________________________________________________________________

Last week at QuakeCon 09, Bethesda's Todd Howard was quoted as saying the company had "no current plans" for a fifth Elder Scrolls game. According to Bethesda, that's not what Howard said at all.

The developer's Pete Hines posted a statement on the Bethesda Blog today, clarifying Howard's comments regarding the future of the Elder Scrolls series.

That was not a direct quote from him. That was someone's interpretation of what he said. I know, I was there. At his QuakeCon talk he was asked when TESV is coming out and Todd replied, "Don't look for a new Elder Scrolls game in the near future." He also went on to say how much the franchise means to us and that it definitely will continue. He just wasn't going to provide any timeframe on "when." This should not be news to anyone that has been paying attention. 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.

In other words, the fate of the series isn't in question, and it shouldn't be.

Hines goes on in his post to clarify statements Howard made about an Elder Scrolls MMO, pointing out that neither Todd nor anyone on Todd's team worked on MMOs, and when the studio that does work on them - ZeniMax Online - is ready to show what they are creating, they'll show it.

I am trying to imagine an angry Pete Hines here, and it terrifies me. Just believe the man and move on before anyone gets hurt.

P.s another rumour floating around is that the next game will be called ElderScrolls Shadow Realm and it will be all of tamreil Just to let you know if you didn't.

Yes, this is very old news, but if you want to speculate then use the topic in the post above me.

Also that rumor for "Shadow Realm" is bull. Let me guess, you saw a fake youtube video called that? Listen, anything about TESV on youtube is total bull, there are a lot of fake videos out there made by people with too much time on their hands.

Heh - that was a big kerfuffle months and months ago. In the speculation thread that I think someone linked in the above posts, there is a link to Pete Hines' bethblog comment as well.

I'll close this now. :)
