Though Bethesda's bigwigs have gone
back and
forth on the existence of another installment in the
Elder Scrolls franchise, an excerpt from
online book retailer Waterstone's product listing for
Elder Scrolls: The Infernal City seems fairly certain of the series' continuance. The listing -- which was recently edited to remove the following savory quote -- mentions that the novel takes place 45 years after
Oblivion, adding that "it partly bridges the gap for the next game, which is set 200 years after the Oblivion crisis."
As promising as this sounds, we find a major flaw with this claim -- see, we've already clocked over 200 years of playtime into
Oblivion (and still haven't beaten it!), meaning we're technically playing the sequel
right now. We've contacted Bethesda to ask them about the book listing, and to see if 200 years of technological progress will bring about unimaginable advances in
equestrian fortification.
