Officially revealed for several seconds last year at Bethesda’s E3 conference, The Elder Scrolls 6: Check out these Thu’umnails probably won’t see the light of a full release in 2019. Or 2020 even, as the best-case scenario for Bethesda’s big-budget RPG could be 2021 thanks to some ongoing litigation.

Will developers ever cease focusing on single-player games and pump more resources into the potentially more lucrative fields where games exist as a service for new content and streams of revenue? With Bethesda releasing Fallout 76 soon, you’d think that at least one big name developer is bidding farewell to games where story comes first and online takes preference. Bethesda apparently, is far from done when it comes to making the kind of games that made the studio famous in the first place.

From the mighty melody of even Andrew WK failing to rouse the game journos in attendance into party mode to Todd Howard’s reveal of Skyrim finally coming to a smart fridge near you, Bethesda still had some surprises and even a rare look at the future.

What, you thought Bethesda was going to end their annual E3 press conference with a look at an Elder Scrolls mobile game? For those true believers watching, a dream was finally answered as the most tantalisingly short reveal was used to close the show off: The Elder Scrolls VI. With the briefest of teasers and a familiar stirring in the audio department as a powerful choir chanted versus of power, Bethesda ended their night on the highest of notes.
