ZeniMax has two options on the table right now: Abandon the Redfall trademark immediately, or slug it out in court.Redfallis an upcoming co-op vampire shooter from developer Arkane Studios.

Officially revealed for several seconds last year at Bethesda’s E3 conference, The Elder Scrolls 6: Check out these Thu’umnails probably won’t see the light of a full release in 2019. Much like a line to ride a vomit comet at an amusement park, there’s going to be a hell of a wait until The Elder Scrolls 6 is finally out and about in the world.
