Bethesda finally announced the long-awaitedElder Scrolls 6at its E3 2018 press conference with a brief cinematic teaser trailer and logo reveal. Bethesda hasn’t had much to share aboutThe Elder Scrolls 6since its reveal, as the studio is busy working on projects likenewFallout 76contentand the upcomingStarfield. However, a new rumor making the rounds online claims to reveal more details aboutThe Elder Scrolls 6, though fans should take the information with a massive grain of salt.
The information was shared on Twitter by user SkullziTV, citing anonymous sources. SkullziTV was unable to verify if this newElder Scrolls 6information was accurate, and other leakers chimed in to say that they received similar information that they were also unable to verify. Considering this, fans should treat these claims with a healthy amount of skepticism. While they could be true, it’s perhaps the more likely scenario that they have been completely fabricated.

With that caveat in mind, the rumor claims thatThe Elder Scrolls 6will be set in Hammerfell, and that it will have a “political system” involving betrayals, marriages, and factions. None of this would be new toThe Elder Scrollsbrand, but the implication here is that these features will be given more importance in the new game.
The other claim is thatThe Elder Scrolls 6will not have dragons.Dragons played a key role inThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, with the main quest all about figuring out why the dragons have returned. And so with the creatures being such a big focus of that game, it wouldn’t be all that surprising forThe Elder Scrolls 6to ditch them, if nothing else but for variety’s sake.
And finally, the rumor claims thatThe Elder Scrolls 6is in full development right now (which may be hard to believe sinceStarfieldisn’t out yet), and that the game is looking to launch at some point in 2025 or 2026.The Elder Scrolls 6release dateis definitely going to be years away, so the 2025 to 2026 window doesn’t seem unrealistic.
Again, fans should take all this information with a massive grain of salt until official word comes from Bethesda or Xbox. As it stands, it’s highly unlikely that fans will see much ofThe Elder Scrolls 6at all until some timeafterStarfieldlaunches, so no one should be holding their breath that they’ll get clarification on these leaks any time in the near future.
The Elder Scrolls 6is in development.
