Elder Scrolls 6: 5 Most Likely Locations To Be Revealed At E3 2018

A return to Morrowind would be a divisive choice amongst fans of the series.

Many would view a second game in Morrowind as little more than a remake of Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. People are already sick of Bethesda constantly re-releasing the same games, and though the game would likely be very different from the original, it’s still somewhere we’ve already explored.

However it's proven to have a sufficiently diverse range of locations and cultures, and enough has happened in the lore of the series since ESIII was set that it would be quite a different land. It's also worth bearing in mind that ESIII only explored about half of Morrowind - whilst fans now have expectations for that place, Bethesda can flex their creative muscles to design the rest of the map however they like.

It's a nice idea, and one Bethesda undoubtedly considered at some point, but fans likely wouldn't appreciate the choice of location any more than if the next Fallout was in Washington D.C.

I'm based in the UK, looking to make a career out of writing about entertainment and culture. The only thing I like as much as watching films, playing games or listening to music is enjoying as much hummus and crisps as I can while I do so. My favourite film is Eddie the Eagle and I like any game that lets me wander around beautiful worlds (or eat hummus and crisps).
