After Skyrim: 10 Awesome Predictions for the Future of the Elder Scrolls Series

5. The Next Generation of Elder Scrolls

If you€™ve been paying attention to gaming news at all these last few months, you won€™t be surprised to hear that the next E3 gaming expo will reveal the next generation of consoles; the PS4 and the Xbox 720 (and maybe even a few more surprises, but we€™ll have to wait and see). So then logically, it stands to reason that the next full Elder Scrolls sequel will be released as a next-gen title. Perhaps that goes without saying for many, but I bet quite a few of you hadn€™t even considered that prospect. Excited? You should be. If you played Morrowind, you€™ll remember how monumental the shift between that and Oblivion was. Then when Skyrim dropped the jump in presentation was again phenomenal (with a new more bespoke focus on third person gameplay). I honestly shudder to imagine what an Elder Scrolls game would look like, would feel like, on a next generation console. Well it€™s probably going to happen my friend, and all I will say on the subject is this: hold on to your steel helmets, it€™s going to be one helluva ride.
