Bethesda Game Studios has finally announced the name of the next game in its long-running Elder Scrolls series: The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel.
The news comes from a video celebrating the studio’s 40th anniversary, which highlighted its many achievements and ended with Bethesda creative director Todd Howard offering a new look at the game.
“Everybody’s always asking about Elder Scrolls 6,” said Howard. “And we thought, hey, given the moment, what a perfect time to tell you what The Elder Scrolls 6 is actually called.”
The teaser trailer is short and doesn’t showcase gameplay, but the camera pans over sand before a magic-looking scroll emerges. Then the game’s title, as fans theorized, “The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel,”was revealed.
The trailer description also provides an additional hint to the game, which reads, “The scroll offered only a shimmer, a veil thinly lifted to my eyes. A future lost. A victory undone. Sands of time scattered by fate,” which is written in game lore by “Yazar, Moth Priest to High Queen Iradne of Hammerfell (4E 206).”
The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel has been in development for a very long time. Announced all the way back in 2018, today’s teaser trailer and name drop are the first new pieces of information we’ve received about the game since.
In a follow-up post on X, Bethesda seemingly confirmed the game’s location is set in Hammerfell, but it will be “some time” before more details
about the role-playing game (RPG) can be shared.
“Thank you for 40 years of shared memories,” the studio said. “We can’t wait to make even more together with The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel. Development continues, and while it’ll be some time before we’re ready to share more, it feels great to finally reveal the name and location with you.”
