A new report claims the next major installment in the Elder Scrolls franchise will carry the subtitle Sentinel, alongside new narrative details regarding the upcoming release.

Story and Setting Details

Sources indicate that The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel is the intended title for the highly anticipated follow-up to Skyrim. The game is expected to be set in Hammerfell and will explore the history of titular artifacts, giving players an opportunity to uncover their secrets directly.

While concrete release dates remain unconfirmed, industry speculation points toward potential updates arriving around upcoming anniversary milestones, though extensive gameplay demonstrations may still be some distance away.

Development Timeline

Bethesda initially announced the project back in 2018 while it was in early pre-production, as the studio's primary focus was then dedicated to Starfield. Following Starfield's launch, development efforts have shifted significantly toward the next Elder Scrolls title.

Even with various ongoing projects and updates for other Bethesda franchises, The Elder Scrolls 6 remains a primary focus for the development team moving forward.
