Developer Bethesda Softworks will host a showcase at the Electronic Entertainment Expo on June 14 this year, and this announcement has led to many tongues wagging about what the company will reveal in the middle of the year. One of the rumors circulating is the unveiling of "Elder Scrolls 6" and the announcement of a March 2016 release. 

According to Master Herald, the next installment in the "Elder Scrolls" series might be released by March next year, based on alleged interoffice memos said to have been leaked from Bethesda. This date sort of coincides with Venture Capital Post's report, which places "The Elder Scrolls 6's" release to be before "Fallout 4." According to the report, the future title just might roll out by this December or January 2016, although it was quick to warn readers to take the info with caution.  

Aside from the rumors on the game's release date, there are also speculations on what direction the new title's story will take. Since "The Elder Scrolls" series is known for its massively-large content and immersive story lines, the next series is touted to continue where the fifth installment, "Skyrim," left off. In addition, the next 'Elder Scrolls" game will reportedly focus on Argonians, the reptile-like residents of Tamriel, and locations will be centered on the Black Marsh. There are also reports that the new game will introduce more races and will feature back stories on most of Tamriel's older races. 

At any rate, Bethesda has made an announcement that one of the things to expect this June is the arrival of "The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited" to current-gen consoles, saying that it is "coming June 9th to Xbox One and PlayStation 4." At the moment, it is available for PC and Mac. 

Part of the post reads, "Featuring the entire original game and all six major content updates since launch – including the new Justice and Champion Systems – there's never been a better time to play The Elder Scrolls with your friends. Rally your most trusted allies, take up your sword, and get ready to experience everything Tamriel has to offer with no restrictions!"
