There was your standard fair of Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, Stalker 2, and Psychonauts 2 trailers, as expected. It doesn’t hurt to celebrate what we love about the series and have some good nature theorization to indulge in.It's that time of year again. E3, the three-day video game expo is on and there has been a smorgasbord of announcements.įor those of you not up at 3am, Microsoft (and its newly acquired publisher ZeniMax/Bethesda) revealed what's coming next for Xbox. Bethesda has been very transparent that Starfield has been the studio’s main focus and that Elder Scrolls 6 is still years away. The fact of the matter is this: we don’t have anything concrete at this time. Does that necessarily discount the theory? Well, no, but it’s also important to realize that it’s not a hard confirmation, either. If you squint one eye and close the other, it looks pretty identical! That being said, it’s not the exact replica that many of the comments seem to think it is. Though the above image is slightly blurred, here is a more refined version that we upped the contrast for below. We’re going to ignore the Black Marsh, I still can’t take that rumor seriously, but maybe that’s just me. Pair that with how much success the Morrowind expansion had in The Elder Scrolls Online, it wouldn’t be a stretch to see this be at least part of the focus in Elder Scrolls 6. That being said, Morrowind had many undiscovered areas to the north, also known for its rockier environment, which would make sense for a focus. One of the biggest theories that have been prevalent since the first teaser back in 2018 is that the next game will be set is High Rock, just by going off the small teaser in that first teaser video with the title. The kicker? In The Elder Scrolls, this area is also referenced as Starfall Bay. More specifically, Iliac Bay, which is sandwiched in between High Rock and Hammerfell. The original post asks the Elder Scrolls community at large if this could be a possible Easter egg, and it seems like the common consensus is High Rock. It didn’t take long for Reddit to be all over any sort of similarity, and it looks like the notion that part of the map is actually pointing towards Hammerfall is gaining a lot of traction in the Elder Scrolls fandom.Ī comparison from an in-trailer shot of Starfield and a map of Tamriel But, like most Bethesda videos, fans are convinced there is more than what meets the eye, namely when looking at a part of a map that the character in the scene points towards. In the Starfield trailer, the release date of November 11, 2022, can be seen as part of the events in the video. With that out of the way, let’s dive into the latest fan theory. It’s all in good fun, nothing official, but worth exploring for those itching to talk about what they are most hopeful for with the next iteration of The Elder Scrolls franchise. E3 is about celebrating games and new announcements, and sometimes that excitement sparks the theorizing part of the community’s collective. There have been many rumors and fan theories about where The Elder Scrolls 6 will take us and, according to the most recent fan theory, the previous Hammerfall predictions could be more spot-on than originally anticipated.īefore we continue, it’s important to remember that this is ‘just’ fan speculation. It’s because of that little insight that Elder Scrolls 6 hopefuls are pouring over every detail in the recent Starfield trailer shown during the Xbox-Bethesda E3 2022 showcase. Bethesda is known for hiding things in plain sight.
