The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel

Elder Scrolls 6 — the next chapter in the iconic adventure RPG series The Elder Scrolls. The project is currently in pre-production and is being developed by Bethesda Game Studios, the acclaimed developer behind TES 5: Skyrim and Fallout 4. The new game may take place in the northwestern province of Tamriel, High Rock, where you can enjoy picturesque mountain locations and visit the cities of Northpoint, Evermore, Orsinium, Daggerfall, and many others.

The Elder Scrolls 6 is a single-player role-playing game with action elements, set in a vast open world. It is currently in pre-production at Bethesda; development will begin after the release of the space opera Starfield (after 2020) for next-generation consoles and PC.

The sixth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series takes place on Nirn, a fictional planet in the Elder Scrolls universe, also known as the “mortal plane.” There is no information yet about the specific region.

Most likely, Bethesda will continue telling the story of Tamriel, the planet’s largest continent. This makes sense given the many races, classes, guilds, occupations, and political entities, which provide fertile ground for creating and exploring any conflict.

In that case, the most likely setting is High Rock, a hilly and rocky region in northwestern Tamriel.

Its native inhabitants are the Bretons, a human people with elven blood, as well as the Orcs, who control the central provinces and the citadel of Orsinium. Nords from northern Skyrim and Reachmen—the warlock-sorcerers of High Rock—can also be found in the province. The Imperials from Cyrodiil may send an expeditionary force to bring the province back under their control.

There are two other possibilities. The first is Hammerfell, a province neighboring High Rock (or perhaps both provinces). The design of the game world shown in the trailer supports this theory. The second possibility is that TES 6 will take place on Akavir, the continent neighboring Tamriel. In that case, Bethesda will have complete creative freedom to introduce new races, locations, and events, and significantly expand the game universe.

Details about The Elder Scrolls 6’s story are still unknown. According to Todd Howard , Bethesda’s lead game designer, the game’s story will. Given that the series is moving forward along its in-game timeline, we can expect the events of TES 6 to begin several centuries after the events of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

The “Elder Scrolls” play an important role in the series: they predict the future. For example, the events of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion were foretold in the “Prophecy of the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal,” while the events of Skyrim were foretold in the “Prophecy of the Dragonborn.” No scroll predicting the events of The Elder Scrolls 6 has been found yet, but one could appear as an Easter egg in The Elder Scrolls Online or The Elder Scrolls: Blades.

The protagonist of The Elder Scrolls 6 will be yet another prisoner sentenced to death, who happens to be in the right place at the right time. After gaining freedom and an important quest to save the world, they will have to balance the interests of the Breton kingdoms, the Orcs, the Empire, and the Aldmeri Dominion if the game is set in High Rock. Or they can choose one side.

Obviously, the choice of Tamriel’s races and character classes will remain—from humans and elves to Khajiit and Argonians, and from mages and hunters to soldiers and thieves.

Details about The Elder Scrolls 6’s single-player mode are still unknown. According to Todd Howard, the game will be single-player.

It’s safe to say right away that The Elder Scrolls 6 won’t have multiplayer, since ZeniMax is developing the MMO The Elder Scrolls Online. It enjoys well-deserved success among players thanks to its wealth of PvE and PvP content, numerous races, full-fledged progression system, and many regions of Tamriel.
