The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel, Digi Mart USA News: Bethesda has denied rumors that it would make a major announcement about The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel during the Skyrim 15th anniversary celebration. According to a publisher report, the studio said there would be no “big announcements” on November 11 and that it will “not be sharing anything new on Sentinel for some time.”
The denial follows a November 3 Bethesda 40th birthday update, after which the studio gave few new details. Fans had pointed to a subtitle and video hinting that the game takes place in Hammerfell, but the report says none of the revelations suggested a near-term release date.
Rumors ahead of the anniversary were fueled by content creator King Fan Man, who claimed a studio source told him of imminent news, and by Reece “Kiwi Talkz” Reilly, who made a vaguer statement about a November 11 development. The report notes that this development was not necessarily related to the Elder Scrolls series.
Fans have waited since 2011 for a sequel, and the report says Xbox would like to see progress on its popular franchises to help boost weaker profits. The publisher report states that a 2027 or even 2028 release has become unlikely.
Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier recently warned that the game would not appear for more than two years, saying he had learned of a development timetable that makes 2029 a realistic target. Windows Central’s Jez Corden reportedly reached a similar view in his own report.
