The Next Elder Scrolls Game Is Officially Called Sentinel

Bethesda officially announced The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel, ending years of speculation about the title of its next flagship role-playing game. The game, first teased eight years ago and following 2011's The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, is set in the city of Sentinel in the province of Hammerfell, according to a short teaser video. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma had hinted at the name in August, and fans had speculated about "Sentinel" for months. Bethesda did not provide a release date or in-game footage, saying it will "be some time" before more is shown. The title matters as a rare concrete update on one of the industry's most anticipated releases, though the absence of a launch window leaves investors and players waiting on Bethesda parent Microsoft for a timeline.
