Microsoft may finally be ready to pull back the curtain on the next chapter of one of gaming’s most beloved RPG franchises.
According to a new report from The Verge, Xbox is preparing to officially reveal the full name of the next Elder Scrolls title, which is reportedly called The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel.
The announcement is said to potentially take place as soon as next month, coinciding with the 15th anniversary of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on November 11.
The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel Reportedly Set in Hammerfell
Apart from the reported title reveal, sources cited in the report also claim to have knowledge of the game’s setting.
If the information proves accurate, The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel will take place in Hammerfell, a region familiar to longtime fans of the franchise. Hammerfell has appeared in previous Elder Scrolls titles, including The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, The Elder Scrolls Online, and The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard.
The report notes that the setting may not be officially disclosed alongside the title reveal, but it has fueled renewed discussion among fans who have long theorized that the next game would take place around Iliac Bay and Sentinel City.
Fan Theories May Have Been Right All Along
Speculation surrounding the setting of The Elder Scrolls VI has persisted ever since Bethesda released its brief announcement teaser in 2018.
Theories pointing toward Hammerfell and the surrounding Iliac Bay region have gained traction over the years thanks to environmental clues, lore references, and various hints discussed by the community. The report further claims that the game’s story could explore the history of the Elder Scrolls themselves and potentially uncover some of the franchise’s biggest mysteries.
