What if Bethesda had already teased in Skyrim the location where the events of The Elder Scrolls 6 will take place? In any case, this is what the recent discovery of a fan on Reddit suggests.
All we've seen of The Elder Scrolls 6 is what Bethesda deigned to show us in a teaser released six years ago. Many fans have since speculated as to our next destination on the continent of Tamriel. One of the most popular theories in this sense was recently correlated by a discovery in Skyrim.

Like Fallout 5 for fans of the post-apocalyptic franchise, The Elder Scrolls 6 is eagerly awaited. It's now been 13 years since the cult Skyrim was released, released in a myriad of editions since then. With only a meager teaser in six years, those waiting for the sixth opus can only wait to get confused in conjectures. These were mainly interested in the next playground prepared by Bethesda. Based on the only teaser available, many assumed that our next adventure would take place in Hammerfell, the homeland of the Redguards. Very recently, a fan on Reddit made a discovery that could corroborate this theory… directly in Skyrim.
He managed to go beyond the limits of the game to discover an area made up only of hills and the beginning of the sea or ocean. Comparing this soberly modeled area in Skyrim and the teaser for The Elder Scrolls 6, we can notice clear similarities. As a reminder, Hammerfell is located in the west of Tamriel, while Skyrim is located in the northeast. It is precisely on the southwest border that the Reddit user made this discovery. Had Bethesda seen this far already in 2011 for its flagship license? Doubt is, to say the least, permitted.
A future game worthy of its illustrious elders?
However, this new information regarding The Elder Scrolls 6 should be taken with a grain of salt. Even though Bethesda is currently fully dedicated to its development, its release still seems very far away. The studio, however, wanted to be reassuring during the celebration of the 30th anniversary of its iconic franchise. For example, we know that the game is already playable via several internal builds. According to the developers, these early versions of the upcoming title “ fill with the same joy, excitement and promise of adventure “.
Let's hope for Bethesda that the promises surrounding the highly anticipated The Elder Scrolls 6 are kept. Whether we're exploring Hammerfell or another region of Tamriel, fans are eager to return. It now remains to be seen under what conditions. With Starfield, the studio took the opportunity to inaugurate the new version of its Creation Engine. Will this be enough to offer us fantastic adventures, without Bethesda resting too much on its laurels since the venerable Skyrim? You will probably have to show a lot of patience to be sure.
