The Elder Scrolls VI might soon get its full name. According to The Verge’s Tom Warren, Bethesda is preparing to announce the game as The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel, with a reveal possible as early as November. Warren expects only a title reveal at this point, so no trailer, gameplay footage, or release date should be anticipated yet.
The report also reveals that the game will be set in Hammerfell, the Redguard homeland previously explored in Daggerfall, Redguard, and The Elder Scrolls Online, and that its story will delve into the history of the Elder Scrolls themselves. Bethesda has reportedly been showcasing internal gameplay in recent months, though the studio has not commented on the rumors.
The name “Sentinel” won’t surprise many fans; Xbox CEO Asha Sharma watched a live playthrough at Bethesda’s offices in August and used eight asterisks where the subtitle would go. The city of Sentinel is a major Hammerfell location with eight letters, and Bethesda Game Studios echoed the asterisks, fueling speculation. A November reveal would also coincide with Skyrim’s 15th anniversary on November 11.
