Board Thread:Future TES Titles/@comment-1600847-20160919132933

Some of you may or may not have heard a few things regarding the future of the Elder Scrolls that was revealed in the past few months. If not, I'll sum up:

A) The Elder Scrolls VI was confirmed by Todd Howard at E3 2016, with him saying "It is going to happen"... but then a few days later came:

B) Sadly, TES VI is not in development as of June 2016. According to Pete Hines, "We're not working of TES 6 at the moment." Meaning that the best case scenario would be a 2019 release date. This was later elaborated on, with Todd Howard Howard saying in an interview that TES VI would be started after Bethesda finished its current 2 as of yet unnamed projects (all we know is that one of the two was trademarked as "Starfield"). Howard then went on to say that "We don't have the technology to make the game we want yet."

However, it's not known if these two projects are being developped by Bethesda (i.e Skyrim and Fallout 4) or only published by them (i.e Dishonored and Doom). Though if it's delaying the release of their flagship franchise, I'd say it's safe to assume it's the former for at least one of the two projects. So what could these games be? A new IP? I doubt it, since Bethesda hasn't had a new IP in decades (remember they bought, not made, the Fallout franchise).

Since Fallout 4 just came out I believe the next game will be TES game, and that it will be another spin-off, but a Bethesda developped one (i.e, Battlespire or Redguard).

If so, it really could be anything. It could be open world like the single-player TES games, or a more zone-focused experience like ESO. It would be set in any Era, in one province or several. It opens a lot of possibilities.

Bethesda actually had a sequel planned for their last spin-off (Redguard) called Eye of Argonia. It's unknown just how far they got, whether they had a story written or any gameplay. If they had a basic story outline they could dust it off and use it or update it at their leisure.

So what do you think? What would want to see in a potential TES spin-off?
