The rumor mill around The Elder Scrolls VI is bubbling again - and this time the leaks sound particularly promising. According to new information from the well-known insider Extas1, the upcoming role-playing game will be a true open-world monster with many new features and well-known fan favorites.
It should not be forgotten that this information is as yet unconfirmed and should therefore be viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism. Nevertheless, they provide plenty to talk about and fuel the anticipation for the game. Whether the speculation turns out to be true remains to be seen.
A new level of immersion
Bethesda wants to work with The Elder Scrolls VI will once again raise the bar for open-world games. Thanks to fast loading times, the game world will be seamless and more immersive than ever before. The story will mainly take place in Hammerfell and High Rock - two regions that have been rather underrepresented in the series so far.
One particularly exciting feature is the ability to build and upgrade ships. Inspired by Starfieldthe shipbuilding feature is to be significantly expanded and play an essential role in exploration. But that's not all: players can apparently plunge into epic sea battles, explore islands off the coast and even explore the depths of the ocean.
The return of the dragons
Yes, you read that right: The dragons are set to return! How exactly they will be integrated into the story remains unclear - but their mere presence is likely to appeal to many fans of Skyrim into nostalgic rapture. Whether they will be enemies or even allies remains to be seen.
Also impressive: The Elder Scrolls VI will feature 12 to 13 large cities - an impressive number when you consider how detailed Bethesda's cities often are. There is also a revised progression system that dispenses with rigid classes and instead focuses on natural progression and improved combat. Those who like to try their hand at building will be delighted: In addition to classic settlement building, it will also be possible to construct villages and fortresses.
According to the leaks The Elder Scrolls VI will be presented to the public as early as July 2025 - a bold prediction, as Bethesda has previously spoken of a long development period. Whether these rumors turn out to be true or we have to wait even longer remains to be seen. Expectations for Bethesda's role-playing epic are higher than ever!
Bethesda recently launched a charity auction in which everyone had the chance to win a roll of play as an NPC character in the game.
