Next Elder Scroll Revealed By Novel...Sort Of

October 25, 2009 in Rumor comments 7

Recently Bethesda hasn't said not about the Elder Scrolls series. Fans are hoping for a new game, and soon. But interesting news has been revealed from the Elder Scrolls novel; The Infernal City. With a description of the novel taking place between Oblivion and the next game, set 200 years after IV. Well, at least we know now when the time period will be.

A book blurb on the Waterstone's retail site reads "A novel that takes places forty-five years after the Oblivion Crisis, which is the story of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion game and the expansion pack Shivering Isles. It partly bridges the gap for the next game, which is set 200 years after the Oblivion crisis."

    I love the Elder Scrolls, man. I can't wait to play the next Elder Scrolls game. I might even buy this book! (Though that might be a little bit of a stretch.)

    Yeah, but I'd rather hear news on a release date neh? Probably a year or two or more off though ~_~

    Since it is such a short amount of in-game time passed, the level of technology wouldn't have changed much, though different cities/countries = different levels of technology.

    I'm hoping for a revamped magic system with more options and variations in spells...

      I'd prefer new on a release date too,but at least it has been (sort of) revealed.


      BTW,I totally agree with you about the magic system,the difference between alot of Oblivion's spells were the amount of damage/effect duration.

    Well everyone, there are always usermods XD

    At least, for PC users >_>

    Usermods can only do so much though, it really does need a bit of an overhaul...
