Microsoft plans to reveal Bethesda's long-awaited fantasy role-playing game The Elder Scrolls VI as soon as next month, according to sources cited by The Verge. The upcoming title reportedly carries the subtitle Sentinel and takes place within the Tamriel region of Hammerfell. The storyline is set to explore the history of the Elder Scrolls and uncover the secrets behind the ancient artifacts. [1][2]
Although Xbox CEO Asha Sharma played the game during a visit to Bethesda in August, the full release may still remain years away. Microsoft is also reportedly weighing whether to make the title an exclusive launch for Xbox consoles. A reveal next month would arrive eight years after Bethesda debuted the game's initial teaser trailer in 2018. [1][2]
The planned unveiling follows job cuts at Bethesda and broader restructuring across Microsoft's gaming division. Xbox has experienced pressure from falling hardware demand, with Microsoft's latest SEC filing disclosing a 29 percent decrease in Xbox hardware revenue due to lower console sales. The company has simultaneously confronted studio boycotts over its ties to Israel, prompting the removal of titles like Celeste and Towerfall from the Xbox platform. [2]
