In this article, I will take a look at the little snippets of information which have been revealed about Bethesda’s next title. What is the game called, what do we know about it so far and when can we expect to play it? I will also examine how trust-worthy the source of information about the new game was. And what is the game called? Starfield.
Starfield: Also known as Elder Scrolls in space?
WheneverBethesdaare asked when they will make the nextElder Scrollsgame, they are keen to stress that they have other titles that they want to release first. Well, what are those titles? We do have an idea that one of their new games may be calledStarfield.
Back in 2013,Bethesdatrademarked the name. This trade mark was renewed in 2016. So, we can surmise that it is a game that they have been working on for years now. Here is a look at the trademark information for their new game.
Supposed Bethesda employee leaked information about their new games
Then, in 2017, somebody posted on 4chan using an account which was named Salulard. They claimed to be a Bethesda employee and posted a lot of information regarding upcoming projects - including this information aboutStarfield:
He also posted this information aboutStarfieldin response to questions he received from 4chan’s community:
Salulard went on to say thatFallout 4 VR,Skyrim VRandStarfieldwould be revealed at E3 2017. He was right aboutFallout 4 VRandSkyrim VRbut wrong aboutStarfieldbeing revealed.
In addition to this, Salulard posted some approximate release dates for Bethesda’s next few games and these included two Elder Scrolls titles. It takes us all the way up to 2030, when Elder Scrolls VII will apparently be reeleased. See the screenshot below.
Well, can we really believe what was said about Bethesda’s new games?
His replies were all rather detailed but I don’t know that they’ve necessarily got the ring of truth to them. To me, it sounds more like a fan’s wishlist for a game based on what they’ve already played. Its sounds too similar…to safe an approach forBethesdato take. Having said that…could it be true? If so, you might be interested in what Salulard posted about the next Elder Scrolls game too. Here it is, along with a bit ‘snext game:
Akavir would be an interesting setting for the nextElder Scrollsgame. I would like it if it was true but does it seem to be likely? And if it is right, does that mean that we should believe the rest of the “leak” too?
DidBethesdainitially plan to revealStarfieldand pulled it in response to the leak? Or do you think that the “leak” was just fake and we shouldn’t read anything into it? Please comment below and let us know.
