π° What Happened
Bethesda marked its 40th anniversary by teasing The Elder Scrolls 6 again, this time with a title: Sentinel. The reveal also included a quote from a Moth Priest serving High Queen Iradne of Hammerfell.
Fans have long guessed the game would be set in Hammerfell, home of the Redguards. Sentinel is a major city there and already appears in The Elder Scrolls Online.
Polygon looks at five fan theories, starting with the idea that the game may also visit High Rock, the region north of Hammerfell.
π The Backstory
Bethesda announced The Elder Scrolls 6 in 2018 with a short teaser, then went quiet for years while it finished Starfield.
The last main single-player game, Skyrim, came out in 2011 and has been re-released on almost every console since. The Elder Scrolls Online keeps the world alive between games.
Bethesda's teasers are famous for giving away almost nothing, so fans build theories from names, maps and single lines of lore.
π― Why It Matters
Fans have waited 15 years for a new Elder Scrolls, so each clue is big news. It also hints at where one of the biggest open-world games will take players next.
