Those waiting forThe Elder Scrolls 6will likely be anticipating the kind of epic single-player experience the series is known for, but a recent job posting suggests the elusive installment may implement multiplayer assets as well. Over the decades,Bethesda has developed and published plenty of games, many of which have become huge successes in the AAA market. While the likes ofSkyrimandFalloutare generally what the company is known for, it’s hard to play a mainstream release these days that doesn’t have the developer’s stamp on it.
However, when it comes to the next entry in Bethesda’s long-running epic fantasy RPG franchise, there’sstill no word on whenThe Elder Scrolls6will be coming out. Fans have been waiting for years now, ever since the teaser trailer was shown off at E3 2018. Half a decade has passed since then and no one outside the studio and publisher is any closer to knowing when a release date will be coming. In the meantime, the rumor mill continues.

A Zenimax job listing suggests thatThe Elder Scrolls 6could have a multiplayer mode, currently hiring for a number of positions including an Associate Level Designer. When looking at the job page, one of the requirements for a potential candidate is that they must have knowledge of “3D game space and environmental storytelling,” as well as experience in “The Elder Scrolls Construction Set.” However, what’s most interesting is that the role is asking applicants to also be strongly familiar with “a variety of open world multiplayer games.”
Looking at this, it does suggest thatTES6might have some multiplayer aspects. Of course, it goes without saying that there’s no way to verify whether this is true or not. All the mainline entries in the series have typically been single-player, withElder Scrolls Onlinebeing developed specifically for online play. However, that’s not to say Bethesda won’t allow for some multiplayer functionality, but it is justone of manyElder Scrolls 6rumorsthat have come about over the years. Essentially, readers are advised to take the information with a grain of salt.
For now, fans will have to wait until the developer or publisher makes an official announcement. WithStarfieldnow coming in September, many will be hopeful that Bethesda will give more details aboutTES6, but it’s looking like the long-awaited follow-up toSkyrimcould still be a long way off.
