If you were hoping more DLC for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was still on the way,
you’re out of luck; Bethesda has announced only “minor updates” will be provided in
the future as the studio ramps up production on its next project.
In a post on the Bethblog, the company explains that its next major project is ready
to make the leap from pre-production to a state where it’ll require a lot more hands.
“For the last year and a half we’ve been working on new content for Skyrim; from the
game updates, Creation Kit, Steam Workshop, Kinect support, to DLCs,” it explains.
“Parts of our team have also been in pre-production on our next major project, and
that game is at the point where it requires the studio’s full attention to make it
our biggest and best work yet.
“Even though we’re moving on, we’ll still have minor updates to Skyrim as needed.
We’ve invested so much of ourselves into Skyrim and will never truly say goodbye to
it.”
So what do you reckon? Is Fallout 4 full-steam ahead, or could this morning’s news
about The Elder Scrolls: Arena point to a next-generation Elder Scrolls game about to
go into full development? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
