'The Elder Scrolls 6' Release Date, News & Update: Argonia Debut By Bethesda Pushed Back By 'Skyrim' Remastered? Christmas Release Follows E3 2016 Leak?

The debut by Bethesda of what is believed to be an Argonia-based "The Elder Scrolls 6" may have been pushed further back by the release of "Skyrim" Remastered. According to news, despite the obvious delay that "The Elder Scrolls 6" will see, fans are excited over the leaked E3 2016 announcement of "Skyrim" Remastered.

E3 2016 'The Elder Scrolls 6' Announcement Will Be About 'Skyrim' Remastered Instead?

Metro reports that gaming industry insider Shinobi602 confirmed that Bethesda will announce "Skyrim" Remastered at E3 2016, effectively pushing back on "The Elder Scrolls 6" announcements. Fans were surprised to hear of "Skyrim" Remastered as bets were on Bethesda eking out clues regarding "The Elder Scrolls 6" and Argonia at the E3 2016.

'The Elder Scrolls' To See Christmas Offering For 'Skyrim' Remastered

According to Metro, retailer base.com has started announcements of the new "The Elder Scrolls" offering, listing "Skyrim" Remastered for a November 23 release. The media outlet points out that the UK retailer did not include a "Skyrim" Remastered cover to accompany their "The Elder Scrolls" announcement.

Forbes joins fan excitement of the E3 2016 leak in favor of "Skyrim" Remastered rather than "The Elder Scrolls 6." Despite protests that "Morrowind" and "Oblivion" are ripe for remastering, the media outlet shares in the opinion that "Skyrim" has a timeless appeal.

To be sure remastering "Skyrim" is in itself a heavy workload for Bethesda. Forbes points out that remastering the older "The Elder Scrolls" games, "Morrowind" and "Oblivion" would have entailed tons more work.

What's in Store For 'The Elder Scrolls 6?'

Given "Skyrim" Remaster on the priority plate, progress on "The Elder Scrolls 6" would have definitely slowed down. For now, however, earlier leads remain intact - namely, the clues of a new Tamriel civil war breaking out in the Black Marsh so that Argonia is the new focus for "The Elder Scrolls 6."

Metro anticipates a Christmas season release for "Skyrim" Remastered or "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - The Definitive Edition." Despite this recent change in anticipated schedule fans might still get a tasty tidbit on "The Elder Scrolls 6" at E3 2016.
