Elder Scrolls Novel Blurb Seems to Confirm Oblivion Sequel

Considering for what reason well The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion sold, it’s pretty probable Bethesda will make a new game in the series eventually. But according to a blurb describing maker Greg Keyes’ “The Infernal City: An Elder Scrolls Novel,” the prospects for a sequel have become a lot more likely (via Kotaku).

The Waterstone’s retail site’s listing for the novel originally had a blurb that described its chronicle as “[taking place] forty-five years after the Oblivion Crisis, what one. is the story of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion game and the extent pack Shivering Isles. It partly bridges the gap for the nearest game, which is set 200 years after the Oblivion crisis.”

Next game, huh? Set 200 years after Oblivion, eh? It sure seems to settle a sequel, but you probably won’t be surprised to learn that this portion of the blurb seemingly confirming The Elder Scrolls V has since been removed from the retail listing. So don’t necessarily take this as a confirmation, further if the blurb was indeed accurate, it looks like Bethesda is already setting the pieces for a sequel in place.
