Bethesda announced <em>The Elder Scrolls VI<\/em> around eight years ago and it&#8217;s been mostly radio silence since then, aside from some disappointing status updates. Well, the company finally gave us something. The game is officially called <em>The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This was announced in a short video in which the name came rising out of the sand. In Elder Scrolls lore, Sentinel is the name of a major city in Hammerfell. It&#8217;s believed that this will be the main setting of the game. The video also seems to suggest that the game might tackle the ancient origins of the Elder Scrolls themselves.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Elder Scrolls VI: Official Name Reveal\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mFu8t9735IY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Fans had been suggesting that the next Elder Scrolls game would be called Sentinel for months and this video proves them right. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma dropped a clue back in August, referring to the game as &#8220;The Elder Scrolls VI: ********.&#8221; The number of letters matched with Sentinel.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Now onto some bad news. We have a name, but we don&#8217;t have a release date or even any real in-game footage. Bethesda notes it&#8217;ll &#8220;be some time&#8221; before we get any more information.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Live playthrough of The Elder Scrolls VI: ******** this morning. The scale and grandeur are incredible. The story is even greater.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ASHA (@asha_shar) August 11, 2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Bloomberg&#8217;s<\/em> Jason Schreier echoes this sentiment and says the game is more than two years away. We can always play <em>Skyrim<\/em> again for the 100th time while we wait.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2305424\/the-next-elder-scrolls-game-is-officially-called-sentinel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><br \/>\n<center><script>\n  atOptions = {\n    'key' : 'ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540',\n    'format' : 'iframe',\n    'height' : 90,\n    'width' : 728,\n    'params' : {}\n  };\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/www.highrevenueformat.com\/ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540\/invoke.js\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We still don&#8217;t have a release window.
