The Elder Scrolls VI officially named Sentinel

The long wait for the next installment in the iconic RPG franchise has reached a major milestone as Bethesda officially revealed the subtitle for the sixth game. Titled The Elder Scrolls VI Sentinel, the confirmation was delivered through a video celebrating the 40th anniversary of Bethesda Game Studios. Studio chief Todd Howard made the announcement, noting that it was the ideal moment to finally share the full title after more than eight years have passed since the initial existence of the sixth game was first acknowledged.

Despite confirming the title, the studio is holding back on sharing further details or gameplay footage at this time. The corresponding press release on Xbox Wire consists solely of the game's official logo image. Prior reports indicated that the studio had been planning to reveal the name around November, aligning with the milestone marking 15 years since the release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Sentinel is set to take place in Hammerfell, a prominent province within the Elder Scrolls universe that has previously featured in earlier titles such as The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard and The Elder Scrolls Online. Furthermore, Sentinel is slated to be the first game focusing heavily on the lore's history, helping players uncover the secrets behind mysterious ancient artifacts.
