Eurogamer is betting all of its chips on a secret source in Denmark who claims that they have proof Bethesda Softworks is working on the next game in the Elder Scrolls franchise. You know, that unpopular series that gave us such duds as Morrowind and Obilivion.

Eurogamer's Denmark Editor-in-chief Kristian West said: "This source not only confirmed that the game is in current production, but also spoke briefly about the content - with fantasy-sounding phrases like Dragon Lord, something with The Blades - and that voice acting for the characters in the game is currently happening in the weeks to follow.

The same source confirmed, with official game documents in hand, that this will be the chronological sequel to what happened in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which is the latest game in the now 16-years-old Elder Scrolls saga and by itself one of the better RPGs for PC and consoles.

The sequel to Oblivion is coming, we can hereby confirm without hesitation. It's been a while since 2006, hasn't it?"

Yes it has, Kristian. Yes it has.

So do we, Blank Gamer, put any stock in this rumor? Not really. We think it's obvious that Bethesda Softworks is working on the next game in the series. The franchise is incredibly popular and Bethesda has confirmed they are hard at work on a new game that uses the Fallout 3 engine. That last point alone indicates an RPG is being developed. So the only unique news here is that they are recording the character voices. We'll need more info before we'll believe they are that far along in development.
