π° What Happened
Eight years after announcing it, Bethesda has finally named its next role-playing game: The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel. No gameplay was shown.
The trailer included a short quote from Yazar, a priest serving High Queen Iradne of Hammerfell: "The scroll offered only a shimmer... A future lost. A victory undone. Sands of time scattered by fate."
That quote appears to confirm the game is set in Hammerfell, a desert region long rumoured as the setting. Sentinel is a major port city there. Fans had guessed the subtitle years before the reveal.
π The Backstory
Skyrim came out in 2011 and is still one of the most-played role-playing games. Fans have asked for a sequel ever since.

Hammerfell sits north of Skyrim and is home to the Redguards, a people known as tough fighters. Players have visited it before in The Elder Scrolls Online.
π― Why It Matters
