Explained simply
The Elder Scrolls is a long-running series of fantasy role-playing games made by Bethesda. Its games take place in Tamriel, a fictional world divided into regions, and let players explore landscapes, meet characters and complete quests.
The best-known recent entry, Skyrim, was released in 2011 and became one of the series’ most popular games. Bethesda acknowledged a sixth instalment in 2018, but has released few details about it since.
Hammerfell is a region of Tamriel associated with the Redguard people, while the Elder Scrolls themselves are mysterious objects in the series’ lore. The sequel matters to fans because it follows a lengthy wait, though its setting, title and release timing have not been officially confirmed.
