The Elder Scrolls 6 is probably still a few years away yet but that’s not because Bethesda is deliberately dragging its heels. 'We have some other projects that we look at from time to time as well.'īethesda wants to take its time to get it right 'Yes, Elder Scrolls 6 is in pre-production and, you know, we’re going to be doing Fallout 5 after that, so our slate’s pretty full going forward for a while' Howard told the publication. In an interview with IGN, Todd Howard confirmed that Fallout 5 will be Bethesda's next project after The Elder Scrolls 6. The Elder Scrolls 6 newsįallout 5 is coming after The Elder Scrolls 6 We do know one thing for certain wherever it does end up being set, we can expect to be fulfilling a great many side quests.

Obviously, those of us who know the world of Tamriel thanks to Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim and yes, even Elder Scrolls Online, the entire world is a veritable expanse of different lands and settings where the game could be set. There is, however, a chance that this teaser doesn't relate to Elder Scrolls 6 at all. That says 'transcribe the past and map the future' and shows an image with an unmapped Hammerfell region. However, since it was shown, general opinion has moved towards the idea that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be set in either Hammerfell or High Rock.Īdding credence to the Hammerfell rumor is a post from the official Elder Scrolls Twitter account at the end of 2020. It's hard to tell from the short E3 clip we have of the game. In this memo, Bethesda employees were reportedly warned against using the terms Fallout: Nuka World, Elder Scrolls VI or Project Greenheart. It’s an area of Tamriel that Bethesda hasn’t explored much and that's based on a reported internal Bethesda memo from all the way back in 2014. There were rumors that The Elder Scrolls 6 could be set in Valenwood, the home of the Bosmer. However, even though these areas are prime spots for exploration, that's not to say that Bethesda won't return to areas from previous games. Valenwood, Elsweyr, and Black Marsh are the biggest places left to explore.

Previous games have taken us to High Rock, Hammerfell, Morrowind, Cyrodil, and Skyrim. We’re willing to bet that like all the other games in the series, The Elder Scrolls 6 will take place on the continent of Tamriel.
