Apparently some folks got a bit upset by reports based on Todd’s talk at QuakeCon last week. An article came out where Todd was quoted as saying we had no plans for a TES V. He did not say that. 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.

Todd and Bethesda Game Studios are hard at work on their next big game, and we’re not ready to discuss it. As always, we prefer to have something amazing to show when we talk about it. We aren’t going to confirm or deny or comment on speculation, nor are we going to give hints about anything. If you know us by now, you know we don’t really do that.

They are going to make one eventually. Whether it's there current title or not is unclear.

No. Bethesda is abandoning their biggest money-maker.

I'm sure the developers also play the games extensively as just about everyone who picks it up will do too. The series is just too good to put down.

Really?

You're one lucky son of a...

TES:V hasn't been officially confirmed. Some would even say it's been officially denied (though they are not to be believed).

There is a lot of reason to believe it's currently in development, and that it has been for some time. The links ThatOneGuy provided are where it's all at.
