Bethesda Softworks has announced the next game in The Elder Scrolls series. According to GameSpot, the announcement took place at the Spike Video Game Awards ceremony held on December 11, 2010.

The game, called The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, will be released on November 11, 2011. You can watch the first trailer for the game on the official website of the series. It shows a cave with bas-reliefs of warriors and dragons. One of the dragons wakes up, separates from the wall and spews flame towards the warriors. It is currently unknown on which platforms Skyrim will be released.

Bethesda Softworks has been producing The Elder Scrolls role-playing games since 1994. The first two parts - Arena and Daggerfall - were released only on personal computers. The third part - Morrowind - was also released on the Xbox console. The latest game released, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, is available on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms and has a 93 percent rating on review aggregator GameRankings . During its first nine months of sales, Oblivion sold three million copies.

Most of The Elder Scrolls games take place in a fictional world, the continent of Tamriel. Each game has a certain storyline, while the player has great freedom of action and can choose how he will achieve the goal set by the developers. The camera in The Elder Scrolls traditionally takes the "out-of-the-eye" position. Since Morrowind, the player can also switch the camera to a third-person view.
