Bethesda revealed on November 3, 2026 that the next Elder Scrolls game is The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel. The teaser points to Hammerfell, but there is still no release date, platform list or trailer.

The next Elder Scrolls game finally has a full name: The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel. Bethesda Game Studios revealed it on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, in a video celebrating Bethesda's 40th anniversary, and Xbox Wire published the logo the same day under the title “The Elder Scrolls VI: Official Name Reveal.”

What the reveal shows

According to The Verge, studio head Todd Howard made the announcement in a video of less than ten minutes and called it the “perfect time” to name the game. The short teaser shows a scroll buried under a sand dune before the logo appears, followed by this quote: “The scroll offered only a shimmer, a veil thinly lifted to my eyes. A future lost. A victory undone. Sands of time scattered by fate.” It is attributed to Yazar, Moth Priest of High Queen Iradne of Hammerfell, dated 4E 206.

Hammerfell, now officially hinted

Hammerfell, the desert province of the Redguards, had long been the setting fans expected. Bethesda Game Studios now says it outright on X: “it feels great to finally reveal the name and location with you.” Polygon notes that the year 4E 206 would place the quote five years after the events of Skyrim. That is a reading of the date, not a confirmed story detail.

What Bethesda has not announced

No release date or release window.
No official platform list in the reveal.
No gameplay trailer: the Xbox Wire post contains only the logo.
Bethesda Game Studios says development continues and that “it'll be some time before we're ready to share more”.

The game was first announced in 2018, more than eight years ago. The name reveal also lands in the month of Skyrim's 15th anniversary.
