Of course, that depends on what map you use as a source, and what kind of scale you use to determine how it relates to the E3 trailer.
Hammerfell is the larger of the two, and feels like it has a decent number of geographic features that could line up with what we see in the trailer. Both Hammerfell and High Rock also have coastlines that match the direction of the shade in the trailer, which is a compelling piece of evidence. This of course leaves High Rock and Hammerfell, both of which have a heck of a lot of coastline to work with and are large enough to conceivably host the next Elder Scrolls title. The scrub grass, bushes, and the mountains we see in the trailer are hardly fertile farmlands, and the stone we see peaking up across the plains would make most tilled farming difficult.Īnother card against the Summerset Isles is that The Elder Scrolls Online just released an expansion in this area, and the fact that the Summerset Isles are almost half the size of Skyrim, which would make The Elder Scrolls VI geographically smaller than the last three Elder Scrolls games in the series. That leaves High Rock, Hammerfell, and the Summerset Isles, but the Summerset Isles are out because they’re supposed to feature pleasant farmlands and park-like woodland areas. That doesn’t look like it matches up with anything we see in the trailer.
For that same reason, the snowy land of Skyrim is also probably off the list, even if Bethesda wants to port it to every electronic device in your home.Įlsweyr is a potential option, if you factor in the northern badlands and the dry plains, but also unlikely because the southern region of the map is the only part of the province that borders the coast, which is supposed to be a dense rainforest. Right off the bat, the rocky soil and the lack of any kind of trees, mushrooms, marshland, or dense forest immediately mean it isn’t Morrowind, Black Marsh, Valenwood, or Cyrodil, though it’s not surprising they chose to explore a different part of the world than they have before. We also see a distinct ridgeline, and a small ruin or castle near the edge of the ridge, as well as what looks like a small port city on the right side of the coast in the bend of the “S” in Elder Scrolls. The trailer Bethesda demoed at their E3 event shows off a hillside with sparse grass, plenty of rocky soil, and more than a few mountains on an open coastline. Let’s dive into the trailer, and discuss where we think The Elder Scrolls VI might take us for a brand new epic, and probably charmingly glitchy, fantasy adventure. The thirty seconds of footage panning over a vague geographic area isn’t a lot to go off of, but it’s more than enough for the Elder Scrolls fanbase to speculate on a new location and a new title for TES VI. Regardless of why it’s missing, it’s our moral obligation to strap on our tinfoil hats and speculate. That’s likely because The Elder Scrolls VI is still two to three years off, in line after Fallout 76 and Starfield, Bethesda’s fresh foray into outer space. Bethesda’s newest Elder Scrolls game is missing the key second half of its title, which points us to a specific region of Tamriel, like Morrowind or Skyrim. The Elder Scrolls VI is finally coming, but everyone that’s seen the tiny teaser is wondering where the fantasy epic will take place.
