Bethesda Will Not Share New Info About The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel on Skyrim’s 15th Anniversary

Today is truly an important date, as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, one of the greatest RPGs in history, turns 15 years old. The game was released on November 11, 2011, and has since become a cult classic, still enjoying incredible popularity and love from players around the world. As you may know, Bethesda Game Studios is actively working on the sixth installment, which was announced back in 2018 — but don’t expect any new news to be revealed today, even on such a special occasion.

Bethesda themselves mentioned this on Reddit, writing, "We’re excited that you’re excited, but we will not be sharing anything new about Sentinel for some time." As we recall, earlier this month the studio confirmed longstanding rumors that TES VI will have the subtitle Sentinel and that its events will take place in the Hammerfell region.

Additionally, the developers expressed their gratitude to the gaming community on their social media for the response to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which they have transformed into something truly special over the past 15 years. It seems that fans will be spending several more years with the game, as according to Jason Schreier, The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel won’t be released until at least 2028. Furthermore, Bethesda Game Studios have noted that they won’t be showcasing the game again anytime soon—only when the time is right.

Speaking about TES VI: Sentinel, Bruce Nesmith, the lead designer of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, recently mentioned that he wants to include two main features in the sixth entry: an improved horseback riding system and full interaction with ladders. These are rather unusual priorities, as they typically differ from what players expect, such as a vast, detailed open world, a deep storyline, and more.

The official release date for The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel and the platforms on which it will be available remain unknown. The early synopsis claims the game will delve deeper into the franchise’s history, revealing more about the mysterious scrolls.
