Even if brand Marvel hadn't blown up, even if Capcom had gone for a MvC4 rather
than a soft reboot, it was probably time to calm things down a bit.
Outside of our bubble, there are currently three mainstream «recognized» strains of lore: the main line games (with Skyrim representing another, visible
soft reboot of the setting), The Elder Scrolls Online (taking place more
than seven centuries earlier), and Cosmic TES (secret lore, based either on obscure meanings behind mundane or religious occurences or focused on the post-Nirn world depicted in c0da and set in the post-Landfall 5th era and later).
