The Elder Scrolls VI's Official Subtitle Revealed as 'Sentinel'

The Elder Scrolls VI will officially be known as The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel, Bethesda announced via social media. The full title was revealed through a video featuring new music and a quote from a Moth Priest concerning Hammerfell. The quote reads, "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."

Sentinel is a significant location within the Elder Scrolls universe, being one of the nine major kingdoms in Hammerfell and serving as the capital for both the Alik'r Desert and Myrkwasa regions. This detail strongly suggests that the game will feature desert environments. The naming convention follows Bethesda's tradition of titling Elder Scrolls games after significant locations, with Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim being prior examples. The release date for The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel remains unconfirmed, with the game having been initially announced at E3 2018.
