"The Elder Scrolls 6" release date news: Title will come out in 2017?

The rumors about the upcoming release of "The Elder Scrolls 6" appear to be becoming more rampant. New speculation that is currently circulating all over the internet suggests that the next installment of the action role-playing open world fantasy video game will be launched during the Electronic Entertainment Expo or E3 2016.

The yearly event, which will happen at the Los Angeles Convention Center in California this year, has been used by game developers and publishers to introduce new video games and video games related products.

According to reports, game developer and publisher, Bethesda Softworks, is said to be planning a major reveal during the event. Fans speculated that it will be the much anticipated "The Elder Scrolls 6."

However, Pete Hines, vice president of Bethesda, told DualShockers in a 2015 interview that the title, which is also rumored to be called as "Skyrim 2" will not be happening anytime soon. During that time, the company's main focus was on the big release of "Fallout 4." Since "Fallout 4" has already made it in the market, many video game fanatics believe that the company has shifted their focus on the development of "The Elder Scrolls'" sequel.

Nonetheless, critics believe that the company is still working on DLC packs and game improvements for "Fallout 4," and since Bethesda is not known to split teams to work on other projects, they believe that "The Elder Scrolls" may not get materialized until 2017.

Meanwhile, Gaming Bolt suggested that the next installment of "The Elder Scrolls" will not necessarily come out as "Skyrim 2." Bethesda could always use their creativity to make sure that the sequel lives up to the expectations of the fans.

As of now, no official statement has been released by the company with regard to the development of the title. However, fans are keeping it positive, hoping for an earlier release of "The Elder Scrolls 6."
