Bethesda Game Studios has officially revealed the subtitle and logo for the upcoming video game "The Elder Scrolls 6." The game will be titled "The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel," according to reports from Variety, IGN, and Inven Global.
The reveal occurred on November 3, 2026, as part of a video message titled "Celebrating 40 Years of Bethesda Game Studios" released by the company. In the video, executive producer Todd Howard noted, "You know, everybody's always asking about Elder Scrolls 6," and explained that the studio's 40th anniversary provided a perfect time to reveal the title.
While the announcement included the official logo, Bethesda did not provide a release date or new gameplay footage. The teaser video featured a short sequence showing a desert location filled with sand that falls away to reveal an Elder Scroll and the game's title. The teaser also included a quote attributed to "Yazar, Moth Priest to High Queen Iradne of Hammerfell (4E 206)," which stated: "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."
While Bethesda has not officially confirmed the game's setting, the title "Sentinel" and the desert imagery in the teaser have led to speculation regarding the location. Sentinel is a city within the Hammerfell province on the continent of Tamriel. Hammerfell is located west of Cyrodiil and southwest of the setting of "Skyrim."
According to IGN, the reveal follows a previous tease from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who had used eight asterisks to conceal the subtitle when discussing a demo of the game earlier this summer. Fans noted that "Sentinel" contains exactly eight letters.
"The Elder Scrolls 6" was first announced in 2018 during Bethesda's E3 conference. Following the launch of "Starfield," the game entered active production in 2023. In 2021, Todd Howard stated he anticipated the game could be released 15-17 years after the 2011 release of "Skyrim."
Bethesda's history includes several major releases, including "The Elder Scrolls: Arena" in 1994, followed by "Morrowind," "Oblivion," and "Skyrim." The studio also released "Fallout 4" in 2015 and "Starfield" in 2023. Bethesda has indicated that "Fallout" and "The Elder Scrolls" are series the studio will focus on in the future.
