(Bethesda/Official website)The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited'

It has been half a decade since the release of "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim," but there is no word yet on its possible successor. However, Bethesda's Vice President for Marketing Pete Hines reassured avid players that it will come to the gaming world; though, it will take a long time as the game developer is putting their 100 percent focus on "Fallout 4."

Despite the lack of an official announcement from Bethesda, rumors have it that "The Elder Scrolls VI" may be launched in 2019, and its story may revolve around where "Skyrim" might leave off. Some other reports do not agree; they believe the game is likely to be set in Argonia.

"The Elder Scrolls Online" landed on the next-gen consoles in June 2015, but there are improvements and patches to make about the game. And there is the "Fallout 4" they have to concentrate on.

Hines reiterated in his interview with Telegraph, "It's rare to have franchises like the ones we have and to have people joking about 'when is "Skyrim 2" coming out?'"

"[Other game publishers would] be spitting out a 'Skyrim 2' the year after or two years later. That's just not how we view it. We're not the sort of publisher that focuses on 'what's our 25 titles for 2015,'" he added.

Additionally, Hines told the publication that they don't publish to scale but rather to quality.

Meanwhile, the studio revealed their new update for "Fallout 4," which is still in its beta form. Players are advised to back up their saved games if they opt to proceed into the beta.

New features of the game include the following:

  • New ambient occlusion setting, HBAO
  • New weapon debris effects (NVIDIA cards only)
  • Added status menu for settlers in your settlements
  • Added ability to rotate an object you are holding with left/right triggers and pressing down on left thumbstick lets you switch the rotating axis
  • Improved "ESDF" keys remapping support while in Workshop mode
