The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel

The next Elder Scrolls game now has an official name. Bethesda Game Studios revealed The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel on November 3, 2026 in a short video for Bethesda’s 40th anniversary. The title rises out of the sand, and Todd Howard narrates the clip. However, the game is still in development, and no release date has been announced.

What’s Confirmed So Far

Official title: The game carries the name The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel. Bethesda announced the sixth numbered entry at E3 2018, so the name arrives about eight years later.
Promotor: Bethesda Game Studios is making the game. The studio says development continues, so more details will follow later.
Reveal video: The anniversary clip shows the title but no gameplay. Additionally, Bethesda says the reveal shares both the name and the location of the game.
Timing: Bethesda says it will be some time before the studio shares more. As a result, no release window, platforms, or price exist yet.

Why the Name Matters

Sentinel is also the name of a major city in Hammerfell, a desert province in Elder Scrolls lore. The clip includes a line attributed to a priest of Hammerfell, so many fans expect a desert setting. Bethesda has not broken down the location in detail, so that part remains a fan expectation. Meanwhile, the long wait since 2018 makes any new detail a big moment for the series.
