‘The Elder Scrolls 6’ Finally Has An Official Title

Bethesda has officially named its next mainline role-playing game The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel, confirming a title that had been reported the previous week. The reveal, made by studio director Todd Howard in a video marking Bethesda’s 40th anniversary, is the first notable update in a long wait for the game.

The video offers little else: a brief image of a scroll emerging from sand, the logo and a cryptic passage attributed to a Moth Priest serving Hammerfell’s High Queen Iradne. Bethesda has not announced a release date, platforms or gameplay, and has not confirmed whether the game will come to Nintendo Switch 2. Sentinel is also the name of a city in the Alik’r region of Hammerfell, a setting familiar from earlier Elder Scrolls games.
