The Elder Scrolls games take place in the fictional world of Nirn, on the continent of Tamriel.
[2] The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, released in 2002, saw a return to the old-style expansive and non-linear gameplay, and a shift towards individually detailed landscapes, with a smaller game world than past titles.
Development of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion began in 2002, and focused on artificial intelligence improvements that interact dynamically with the game world.
The game is not a direct sequel to its predecessor, Oblivion, but instead takes place 200 years later, in Tamriel's land of Skyrim.
The Elder Scrolls Online had been in development for 5 years prior to its announcement and was released on April 4, 2014.
