Could an "Elder Scrolls 6" release date announcement come soon?  New reports are suggesting that a new development inside Bethesda could signal the start of production for the highly anticipated sixth installment.

According to reports, Bethesda has recently posted four new job openings.  While this could mean anything, fans are speculating that this could actually have something to do with pending "Elder Scrolls 6" work.

"The post stated that Bethesda is looking for a game programmer, an engine programmer, and two graphics programmers," Yibada reported. "The job posting as well revealed that Jeff Gardiner, the lead producer of 'Fallout 4,' and Dave Schreiber, sound designer of 'Skyrim,' are on the list as well for the unannounced game.

It was previously hinted by lead designer Todd Howard that Bethesda has three new games underway.  Could "Elder Scrolls 6" be one of them?

Meanwhile, rumors have been circulating that an announcement about the sixth installment could be made at the E3 2016 in June.  Bethesda has been reportedly preparing for a big audience in the event, making fans question if the developers have very important information to share.

"The Elder Scrolls is a huge series for Bethesda," Neurogadget reported. "Like Fallout 4, The Elder Scrolls 6 would be the sort of hype-inducing game to make an E3 stage show huge. On the other hand, it still feels too soon for The Elder Scrolls 6 to actually release, and Bethesda doesn't seem to favor making announcements too far ahead of time."
