The Elder Scrolls 6 is probably subtitled Sentinel, and there's been an easter egg in Starfield hinting at it this whole time

I was hoping for "Dominion" but I'm OK with this.

The Elder Scrolls 6 is probably subtitled Sentinel, and there's been an easter egg in Starfield hinting at it this whole time

Bethesda CEO Asha Sharma showed enthusiasm for The Elder Scrolls 6, watching a playthrough at the company's Maryland office. The scale of the game was impressive to her. Rumors about the game's subtitle circulated, with "Sentinel" emerging as a strong contender. This name is significant because it's the name of a prominent city on Iliac Bay, and also the capital of that city.

The development codename for The Elder Scrolls 6 is believed to be Guardian, a synonym for Sentinel. This connection was strengthened by an easter egg discovered in Starfield, Bethesda's sci-fi RPG. During character creation, a sequence of numbers (190514-2009140512) was displayed, which can be divided into pairs to spell out "Sentinel."

The letters of the alphabet correspond to the numbers in the sequence, revealing the word "Sentinel." While this might not be the only hidden hint in Starfield, other eagle-eyed viewers noticed a shape resembling the Iliac Bay on a spaceship console in the trailer. This similarity was first suggested in the first Elder Scrolls game, Arena. It is now believed that there may be more easter eggs hidden in Starfield to uncover.
