The delay of the next game in "The Elder Scrolls" series has resulted into much anxiety for gamers. "The Elder Scrolls 6" features a great plot and enticing gaming experience, but the delay might influence the general trend of the game.

Bethesda is yet to unveil the name for the upcoming game. However, rumors have it that the sixth installment might retain the "Skyrim" brand; with "The Elder Scrolls 6" being referred to as "Skyrim 2," according to Neurogadget.

The last sequel in the franchise, "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" was released in 2011. Based on the long timeframe, it is only rational that players would clamor for a new installment from Bethesda.

Meanwhile, speculations are rife that Bethesda, the company that is developing the game, will launch the next installment in "The Elders Scrolls" franchise during the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E30) 2016 to be held on June 14 to 16. Fans have to be patient to find out what E3 2016 has in store.

There are increasing rumors as thrilled fans have spotted the most recent job search of Bethesda, indicating that the company is soliciting for a character artist who has the knowhow on role-playing games like "The Elders Scrolls," according to ZeniMax Media. The job advertisement is giving optimism to fans who believe this is an indication that the production is ongoing and they should anticipate the launch of 'The Elders Scrolls 6" in 2017.

However, it is important to note that Bethesda release of its "The Elder Scrolls" installments has been at intervals of four years. As a result, fans can only expect to lay hands on the sixth installment in "The Elder Scrolls" franchise in 2019, especially since the developer company released "The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited in June 2015.

Here is a sneak peek for more information on the upcoming game.
