A Long Wait and a Big Debate

The Elder Scrolls saga kicked off way back in 1994 with its first title dropping on MS-DOS, courtesy of Bethesda. Since then, it’s built a massive global fanbase, and now everyone’s on edge for The Elder Scrolls VI.

Here’s the snag: Bethesda’s keeping tight-lipped about when this long-awaited gem will hit. It’s been almost seven years since they teased it at E3 2018—a show that’s now a distant memory. With no word from the devs, fans are left sifting through rumors, hoping something sticks until Bethesda, now under Microsoft’s wing, spills the beans.

Hammerfell: Hit or Miss?

Details on The Elder Scrolls VI are so thin we’ve got no release date, no story hints, no confirmed setting—not even a full title. But a new tidbit might fill one of those gaps. Twisted Voxel reports that YouTuber and insider eXtas1s claims the game’s just called Hammerfell—a spot long rumored to be its backdrop.

In a recent video, eXtas1s also mentioned the game could boast 12 or 13 big cities. Hammerfell’s a sprawling region west of Tamriel, so naming the game after it tracks if the rumor holds water.

Fans are torn. “Hammerfell sounds solid—liking it so far,” posted Shepherdsfavestore on Reddit. But not everyone’s sold. “My hype for The Elder Scrolls VI just ‘Hammerfell’ flat,” quipped a less-than-thrilled user. Others in the thread weren’t buying rumors of naval battles and ship crafting floated by Twisted Voxel either.

Rumors like these? Take ‘em lightly until Bethesda says otherwise. Here’s hoping they drop some real news before 2025’s out!
