Bethesda announced during E3 2018 that it would launch The Elder Scrolls 6 after Starfield which was, back then, scheduled to roll out after Fallout 76. Now, that Fallout 76 hit the shelves in November 2018, Bethesda is already working on Starfield and its launch, so the next in this series of new releases would come The Elder Scrolls 6. In the meantime, many speculations emerged on how the upcoming title in the Elder Scrolls franchise would be like and which storyline and timeline it would follow.
While yesterday we’ve presented you the first part of a series of articles on The Elder Scrolls 6, which debated topics such as The Elder Scrolls 6 release date, mainly, today we come with the second journey in the universe of The Elder Scrolls 6, a world about which we don’t know much, at the moment.
According to Miami Morning Star, The Elder Scrolls 6 might follow only two storylines, the most plausible one being the so-called “The Decline Of The Empire.”
The Elder Scrolls 6 – The Possible Storyline and Timeline
Judging on how the Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim ended, we presume that The Elder Scrolls 6 would bring the gamers in the middle of a war between The Empire and The Thalmor, as The Empire seemed vulnerable at the end of the Skyrim title. Even before the storyline of Skyrim, The Empire lost vast territories over The Thalmor.
With the Empire previously losing Morrowind to the Black Marsh, then the Summerset Isles, Valenwood and Elsweyr to the Aldmeri Dominion, and Hammerfell after the peace agreement, in Skyrim it again faced the Stormcloak Rebellion. The Empire is declining, and The Elder Scrolls VI might be when a great war begins again, with the Thalmor trying to conquer the weakened Empire…
As for what timeline we’ll see in The Elder Scrolls 6, Bethesda might fast forward so that the player would be thrown into a world where The Empire would be on the brink of destruction. The gamer might struggle to stop The Thalmore from taking over The Empire. At the moment, this is just a theory since Bethesda revealed nothing about The Elder Scrolls 6. Also, there is a second theory on The Elder Scrolls 6 possible storyline and timeline, about which we’ll discuss in a future article, so keep in touch.
