It Looks Like Bethesda Hid the True Name of The Elder Scrolls 6 in Starfield Years Ago
As fans continue to suggest potential subtitles for The Elder Scrolls 6 based on the number of asterisks in Xbox boss Asha Sharma’s tweet, a theory that Bethesda hid the actual name in Starfield years ago has emerged — and it’s pretty compelling.
A recent theory suggests that Bethesda might have secretly named The Elder Scrolls 6 "Sentinel" in Starfield years ago. This theory gained traction after an Xbox boss tweeted asterisks, leading fans to decode a potential title in the character creation screen of Starfield. If you divide the numbers into pairs and use the corresponding letters of the alphabet, it spells out "Sentinel."
This revelation has led some to believe that Sentinel is the true title of the upcoming game. Notably, a former Bethesda developer, Michael Kirkbride, also supports this theory. The name Sentinel is also associated with Redguard's major coastal capital city in the northwestern hills of Hammerfell. The possibility of a dual province game, including Hammerfell and High Rock, has been speculated.
However, it's essential to note that this theory may not hold any truth, as the eight asterisks in the tweet could be a coincidence, or the title could be "Skyrim 2." The development of The Elder Scrolls 6 is reportedly at least two years away from launch, despite being announced eight years ago. Bethesda staff have even protested the layoffs at Microsoft, raising concerns about the impact on the game's development.
