Bethesda Game Studios has officially announced The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel during its 40th-anniversary celebration. The teaser, presented by Todd Howard, reveals the game's full title and setting in Hammerfell, five years after the events of Skyrim. The brief cinematic shows a desert landscape and an Elder Scroll emerging from the sand, accompanied by lore text from Moth Priest Yazar.
Sentinel is a major city on the Iliac Bay in Hammerfell, aligning with earlier reports from The Verge's Tom Warren. Bethesda confirmed that development is ongoing and no gameplay or release details will be shared for "some time." The game remains the studio's primary focus since its initial tease at E3 2018. However, industry reports suggest potential delays due to Xbox layoffs, and Bloomberg's Jason Schreier indicates the title is still at least two years away.
No release date, platforms, or launch window have been confirmed, tempering hopes for a 2027 launch.
