We do know one thing for certain wherever it does end up being set, we can expect to be fulfilling a great many side quests. Obviously, those of us who know the world of Tamriel thanks to Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim and yes, even Elder Scrolls Online, the entire world is a veritable expanse of different lands and settings where the game could be set. All we have are rumors to go off of, which doesn't form the basis of, well, anything really. In an interview with Eurogamer (opens in new tab), Todd Howard confirmed the team has settled on the location - but he won't tell us where yet. Details are, of course, exceptionally sparse at the moment. There is, however, a chance that this teaser doesn't relate to Elder Scrolls 6 at all. That says "transcribe the past and map the future" and shows an image with an unmapped Hammerfell region. However, since it was shown, general opinion has moved towards the idea that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be set in either Hammerfell or High Rock.Īdding credence to the Hammerfell rumor is a post from the official Elder Scrolls Twitter account at the end of 2020. It's hard to tell from the short E3 clip we have of the game. The landscape shown in the trailer didn't reflect Valenwood all that much. However, after the brief announcement trailer for Elder Scrolls 6 was released during E3 2018, many fans began to move away from the idea of a Valenwood setting.
The fact that Greenheart is a city in the verdant region of Valenwood made this even more interesting. It gave slightly more weight to rumor that Project Greenheart is in fact the codename for the next Elder Scrolls title. Though it was initially believed to be a fake, Fallout: Nuka World ended up being a big DLC release for Fallout 4. In this memo, Bethesda employees were reportedly warned against using the terms Fallout: Nuka World, Elder Scrolls VI or Project Greenheart. It’s an area of Tamriel that Bethesda hasn’t explored much and that's based on a reported internal Bethesda memo from all the way back in 2014. There were rumors that The Elder Scrolls 6 could be set in Valenwood, the home of the Bosmer. However, even though these areas are prime spots for exploration, that's not to say that Bethesda won't return to areas from previous games. Valenwood, Elsweyr, and Black Marsh are the biggest places left to explore. Previous games have taken us to High Rock, Hammerfell, Morrowind, Cyrodil, and Skyrim. We’re willing to bet that like all the other games in the series, The Elder Scrolls 6 will take place on the continent of Tamriel. Other than that, you might be waiting a while to see more.
The only footage we have of The Elder Scrolls 6 is a very short clip of the game's logo. What we do know, however, is that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be available on Xbox Game Pass on day one.

Similarly, releases on Xbox One and PS4 seem extremely unlikely, as Starfield shows Bethesda's moving on from last-gen hardware. A PS5 release is much less certain, however, as Microsoft may opt to make the new Elder Scrolls game an Xbox exclusive.

Similarly, platforms for The Elder Scrolls 6 haven't been confirmed yet but, given Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda's parent company ZeniMax Media, releases on PC, and Xbox Series S|X are almost a certainty. As such, tentatively expect The Elder Scrolls 6 to release in 2024 at the very earliest, after Bethesda has given Starfield at least a couple of years in the spotlight. In a more recent update, Howard told IGN (opens in new tab) that The Elder Scrolls 6 is still in "pre-production". Bethesda Games Studios director Todd Howard supported this in a 2021 interview with The Telegraph (opens in new tab), stating: "It’s good to think of The Elder Scrolls 6 as still being in a design … but we’re checking the tech: 'Is this going to handle the things we want to do in that game?' Every game will have some new suites of technology so Elder Scrolls 6 will have some additions on to Creation Engine 2 that that game is going to require."
