Elder Scrolls on Tabletop? Chip Theory Games Are Teasing Just That

You may recognise Chip Theory Games from Cloud Spire, from Too Many Bones, from Hoplomachus (and its recent Kickstarter), and many more - and if you don't, and you're a fan of Elder Scrolls, you may recognise them soon!

In a tweet that excited the internet (or certainly felt like it), Chip Theory Games offered a familiar looking logo, with a link to its site and saying only More Info Coming 2022.

The link itself allows you to sign up to its mailing list to be notified of any updates, though we have to say, 2022 is a long time to wait for new!

In the meantime, we can only speculate. Elder Scrolls itself is a digital RPG from Bethesda Game Studios, which includes huge names in the franchise such as Skyrim and Oblivion. Rumours are currently circulating around the next installment, announced in 2018 but with little to no further information on its plans since, though there are suggestions it will use E3 to announce more information later this year. It is possible that the game will tie in with the new area of the franchise? 

Of course, this isn't the first outing for Elder Scrolls into the tabletop world, as we also saw a skirmish level wargame from Modiphius in The Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms, that was generally well received. Plus, there's another game from Modiphius that will be heading to Gamefound, in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim the Board Game, which we know to be a cooperative game for 1-4 players, but little more. With a miniatures game already in the world, it'll be interesting to see whether the Chip Theory Games venture will follow the same route, or offer us something different. 

What do you think?
