Bethesda shoots down Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel announcement rumor on Skyrim’s 15th anniversary

Bethesda has ruled out a major Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel announcement for Skyrim’s 15th anniversary, ending speculation sparked by a separate teaser from podcast host Reece Reilly. The clarification confirms that the teaser was unrelated to Bethesda or the Elder Scrolls series, and that the studio does not plan to share new details about Sentinel for some time.

The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced eight years ago, while Skyrim was released 15 years ago. Bethesda marked Skyrim’s anniversary with commemorative artwork by Karl Fitzgerald and a giveaway of three limited-edition posters; fans responded to the Sentinel news with a mix of frustration, jokes and pride that the studio had addressed the rumours directly.
