Apart from the recent release of Oblivion Remastered on the Switch 2, Bethesda has been keeping itself busy with the next major chapter in The Elder Scrolls series.
Back in August, we heard how the Xbox boss Asha Sharma was treated to a live playthrough of the upcoming title (who also teased the game’s title), and now we’ve got another update. The Verge’s senior correspondent Tom Warren reports the game will be called “The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel“.
According to “sources familiar Bethesda’s plans”, the title’s official reveal could be coming as soon as “next month”, which apparently lines up with “a period that will mark 15 years since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released”. Warren also shares a little bit more about what fans of The Elder Scrolls can apparently expect from this new entry:
“I understand that Sentinel will be set in Hammerfell, a province in the Elder Scrolls universe that’s appeared in The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard and The Elder Scrolls Online. Sentinel will be the first game about the history of the Elder Scrolls, and help uncover the secrets of these mysterious ancient artifacts.”

This sixth major entry in the series has now been in development for more than eight years since its official announcement. A release date hasn’t been revealed, and platforms also haven’t been locked in just yet, but based on recent reports, the new chapter is in a respectable (and playable) state.
Apart from Oblivion Remastered, Bethesda has also released The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary on the Switch 2.
