The Elder Scrolls VI Finally Has a Name: Sentinel, but Bethesda Isn't Ready to Say More

Bethesda has finally given The Elder Scrolls VI a name: Sentinel. The reveal closes a long gap that opened when the studio first teased the game at E3 2018, more than eight years ago. For a series that fans have followed through many quiet years, a title is the first concrete piece of news in a long time.

The name comes with a clear warning, though. Bethesda says it will be "some time before we're ready to share more," which suggests there is no new footage, release window, or platform announcement on the way anytime soon. Reports also indicate that players should expect to wait at least two more years before the game arrives, which would put its launch in 2028 at the earliest.

For now, the news confirms that the project is still in development and has an identity of its own. It doesn't give fans much to judge the game by. Until Bethesda shares more, Sentinel will remain a name with very little around it.
