On 8 October 2018 at an interview with Eurogamer, when asked about when fans would get more information about Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI, Pete Hines stated, "A while from now and a really long while from now! Respectively. The first thing we do is the world so we've known for a while where it's set." On 28 June 2018, Todd Howard stated in an interview at GameLab that the location of The Elder Scrolls VI had been decided upon "a while ago." When asked if it was possible to discern the location of the game from the teaser trailer shown at E3, Howard stated, "I obviously would say yes … You can rule some things out. He stated later in the interview that it would be released "longer than eventually," relative to Starfield being released "eventually." On 14 June 2018 at an interview with Rooster Teeth, Pete Hines stated that The Elder Scrolls VI will take place in Tamriel. He also said that the technology needed for the game is "getting closer." Pre-production: 2018 On 11 June 2018, Todd Howard noted in an interview that The Elder Scrolls VI is in "pre-production" and was not yet playable. On 10 June 2018, at E3 2018, the company released a teaser trailer for The Elder Scrolls VI.

We're pretty clear, TES VI is not in dev." On 9 August 2016, Pete Hines stated that The Elder Scrolls VI "isn't in development," clarifying on 18 October 2016 that "nobody is working on it." On 12 August, 2016, he said, "You're not going to be hearing first details on years before the game comes out, absolutely not." Īt E3 2017, Pete Hines stated in an interview that The Elder Scrolls VI was "down the road." He continued, "To reiterate, they have at least two major titles that they are working on before we're gonna get to Elder Scrolls VI. People will probably hear about those even before Elder Scrolls VI. it's something that's going to take a lot of time, what we have in mind for that game." Howard also commented during the same E3 2016 interview, "We actually have two other large projects we're also doing that are bigger than anything we've done. But it is-I have to be careful what I say-it's a very long way off. So, given the limited information fans have right now, it’s safe to say that a return to Hammerfell or High Rock is a possibility.On 9 August 2015, Todd Howard stated in an interview with DualShockers that The Elder Scrolls VI was not coming for a "very long time." Pre-pre-production: 2016Īt E3 2016, Todd Howard stated in an interview with Geoff Keighley, "Yes, of course we are. In fact, both of them are supposed to be more marshy, based on information from within the Elder Scrolls games, so rocks and valleys don’t make too much sense. However, both of these areas aren’t supposed to have the same terrain that’s shown off in the teaser. That would leave Valenwood and the Black Marsh. Each of these areas has been explored in Elder Scrolls Online in the past few years, so they more than likely won’t be part of the upcoming game. While none of the above regions have been seen in a mainline Elder Scrolls game, two of them have shown up in Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr and Summerset Isles. Out of Elsweyr, Valenwood, the Black Marsh, and Summerset Isles, none of them make too much sense given the teaser trailer and Elder Scrolls Online. What About The Unexplored Areas In Tamriel? A scratch in the game is suspiciously in the same shape as one of the land masses between Hammerfell and High Rock - this definitely adds a bit of weight to the Twitter post. This could be a hint that Tamriel is going to expand, but that would be pretty unlikely considering how interconnected the games already are.Īccording to some, the Starfield trailer at E3 2021 held an Elder Scrolls 6 easter egg. However, as of the Tamriel fans have seen, there’s nothing North of Skyrim. In a 2020 tweet from the official Elder Scrolls Twitter account, there’s a picture of a map of Skyrim with three scandals - one on Hammerfell, one in the direction of High Rock, and one in a place North of Skyrim. However, leaks would suggest that it may take place in a previous area. This would leave Elsweyr, Valenwood, the Black Marsh, and Summerset Isles. The past games have been set in High Rock, Hammerfell, Morrowind, Cyrodiil and Skyrim - each of these areas are different parts of Tamriel as a whole.Ĭonsidering the name has shown as Elder Scrolls 6 and not any kind of remake, most would think that they’d be going to an entirely new area. When it comes to ideas about where the game will take place, there’s a theory for just about everywhere in Tamriel.
