Our sources lit us up with the news that Bethesda apparently has some secret announcement for E3. According to our sources, it is Elder Scrolls-related. Our sources suspect that it could be that the long-awaited Elder Scrolls MMO will finally be announced, but after some digging around, some of our sources suggest that it is more likely that Elder Scrolls V will be announced.

While Bethesda has never confirmed the existence of an Elder Scrolls MMO, sources continue to tell us that the company has had as many as nearly 100 people working on it since 2006. The company has continued to fund the development of the MMO, but the size of the team working on it has gone up and down, depending on what else was going on at the time within the studio.

As for the possibility of an Elder Scrolls V, options seem to vary on whether Bethesda has this on their radar at all. Of course, many believe that the official Elder Scrolls novels seem to indicate that the possibility for a new title was a given. Todd Hines from Bethesda has been quoted as saying that there were no current plans for an Elder Scrolls V in the pipeline.

We would not even want to guess what Bethesda might be getting ready to announce, but it would seem that the MMO is at least a possibility. We will have to wait it out till E3 (which starts on June 15th) to see what the publisher has up its sleeve.
