If you like a bit of retro gaming and have Steam then Bethesda have some free Elder Scrolls games for you to play. They are really old, you’re not getting Skyrim I’m afraid, but they may be of interest.
The Elder Scrolls: Arena, The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, along with Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory have all been released for zero pence, along with An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire and The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard, which are not free and will cost you $5.99.
Here are the links to the games on Steam:
- The Elder Scrolls: Arena
- The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall
- Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
- An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire
- The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard
The Elder Scrolls VI was officially revealed back in 2018 and since then we’ve heard literally nothing. Bethesda are concentrating on Starfield which should be out this year.
In October 2018 Bethesda’s Pete Hines was asked when the game would be out. “A while from now and a really long while from now!” he commented. “Respectively. […] the timeframe for Bethesda Game Studios titles has not changed at all. […] Timeframe-wise, it would still be about as long as you’d expect when you look at Fallout 3 to Skyrim to Fallout 4 to Fallout 76. It’s still going to be those periods of time, that hasn’t changed. Or at least, I don’t think it will change from that based on what I know.”
Since then Microsoft snapped up Bethesda so it is unlikely that The Elder Scrolls VI will ever make it to PlayStation.
In November 2021 Todd Howard was asked about the technological leap between Skyrim and The Elder Scrolls VI, Howard and said, “It’s probably our biggest ever [jump]. […] We could really take advantage of the new systems: redoing the renderer and the basic underlying guts of the engine itself. […] Whenever you do an engine overhaul… we’re still making data. We’re still doing a lot of art and design and levels and spaces and things like that, and the engine is changing, and figuring out when those sync up is one of the great challenges that all developers deal with.”
The last update we had for the game was in November 2021 when stated “We’ve been designing The Elder Scrolls VI.”
