After This Week's Redacted Tease, Fans Think They've Discovered The Elder Scrolls 6's Full Name - and It Was Hidden in Starfield All Along

Fans linked the clue to a Starfield demo and a one-word reply from lore writer Michael Kirkbride, but Bethesda has not confirmed the title.

  • On Tuesday, Bethesda Xbox CEO Asha Sharma tweeted The Elder Scrolls VI's title masked with eight asterisks, describing the game's "scale and grandeur" as "incredible."
  • IGN reports fans suspect the subtitle is "Sentinel," citing coded numbers 190514-2009140512 from a Starfield demo as evidence of the connection.
  • Former Bethesda writer Michael Kirkbride strengthened the theory by replying "yep" to a Reddit post about "Sentinel," having authored much of the series' lore.
  • Bethesda has not officially confirmed the subtitle, leaving "Sentinel" unconfirmed after fans waited 15 years since Skyrim for the sixth entry.
  • The Elder Scrolls VI remains at least two years away, with this teaser emerging following recent firings across Microsoft's gaming divisions.
