2014 er et stort år for The Elder Scrolls. Her fejrer serien nemlig 20 års jubilæum, og forbereder sig på at indtage et helt nyt marked - online. Bethesda-bossen Todd Howard skriver i et åbent brev på website hvor stolt han er over serien og hans medvirken.
"The list of entertainment products that thrive over a twenty-year period is a short one. It's a joy to be part of one. When I look back over the last 20 years I've spent at Bethesda, I think how lucky we've been to keep a group together that continues to grow, both in talent and number, while being able to create games we love"
Endvidere mener han, at hemmeligheden bag seriens succes ligger i ikke at skue tilbage. At starte forfra med hvert nyt spil:
"One thing that has kept the series vibrant for so long is that as opposed to simply adding to the previous game for a sequel, we always started over. It was our desire that each game be its own thing; had its own tone, its own soul. As the years went by the technologies changed, we changed, you changed. But the goal remained the same - to create a game that transported you to another place. A game that fueled you with the ideal of endless possibilities. A world you could make your own"
Howard afslutter med at se fremad:
"Where does The Elder Scrolls go over the next 20 years? Time will tell. But I know it will continue to be an amazing partnership with you. And we can't wait to play it"
