Morrowind was the game which came to define the format of the Elder Scrolls franchise when it released back in 2002. Many of the gameplay aspects and mechanics which appear in Morrowind can be seen in some form in both Oblivion and Skyrim, albeit reworked, polished, and streamlined. It was also the game where much of the now huge Elder Scrolls modding community began, thanks to Bethesda making the game creation kit available for free. The Game of the Year edition, which is the version currently available for free, was released in October of 2003. In addition to the Bloodmoon and Tribunal expansions, it includes a variety of patches and extra content.
The Elder Scrolls series is set to continue relatively soon with the launch of The Elder Scrolls: Blades; the first Elder Scrolls title available on mobile devices. The game currently has no release date. However, Bethesda will be launching a closed beta in the near future, ahead of Early Access. The Elder Scrolls 6 is currently in development, but a release date is unknown. The game will be releasing after Starfield, which is Bethesda’s next upcoming game.
