The Elder Scrolls 6 finally has a name: The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel. Bethesda revealed the title on November 3, 2026, at the end of a video celebrating 40 years of Bethesda Game Studios, and Xbox followed with an official name reveal post carrying the new logo.
It is the first official update on the game's identity since its June 2018 announcement, nearly eight and a half years ago. In that time Bethesda shipped Starfield, moved The Elder Scrolls VI to the front of its schedule, and let fans spend years guessing at a subtitle.
The reveal came with no gameplay, release date or platforms. What it does offer is a short teaser, a line of in-world lore and a name that points squarely at Hammerfell, the Redguard homeland many fans had expected for years. It also confirms the subtitle fans had pieced together from months of hints and leaks.
The reveal arrived inside a retrospective. Bethesda Game Studios is marking its 40th anniversary this year, and its celebration video looks back over four decades of the studio's games before turning to what comes next. Only at the very end does it address the question fans have asked since...
