If recent reports are correct, the next Elder Scrolls title will be set long after the fourth installment, Oblivion. Two hundred years to be exact.

The Infernal City, the latest Elder Scrolls novel, was described in this manner on the >publisher's website: "A novel that takes places forty-five years after the Oblivion Crisis, which is the story of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion game and the expansion pack Shivering Isles. It partly bridges the gap for the next game, which is set 200 years after the Oblivion crisis."

The blurb was spotted by a Kotaku reader. It's since been edited to remove any mention of a new Elder Scrolls game. Maybe they felt it was a too cruel of a tease, considering how far away Elder Scroll V is.
