The Elder Scrolls 6 location all but confirmed by massive world map

It seems like the location of The Elder Scrolls VI may have been confirmed courtesy of a huge map.

Announced in 2018, we still know nothing about The Elder Scrolls VI. It’s been seven years (and counting), and it feels like Bethesda is no closer to giving us a gameplay trailer or release date.

We’re not even 100 % sure that the highly anticipated next entry in The Elder Scrolls series will launch on current-gen consoles. It might be safe to assume that it’s going to be a next-gen title, but hey, at least we have Skyrim and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered to keep us busy, right?

So, given that we know very little about The Elder Scrolls VI, it’s anyone's guess where it will be set. However, a Redditor believes they may have found the answer.

“The Elder Scrolls Online points to Hammerfell for The Elder Scrolls VI,” claimed gorgrath177, and to be fair, Starfield may also have teased the same location.

“The various maps and expansions for The Elder Scrolls Online cover most of Tamriel, the biggest exceptions being Black Marsh and Hammerfell. Given the environment from the announcement [2018] trailer, we can immediately rule out Black Marsh,” they continued.

“Bethesda had likely avoided the region in the MMO, as it most likely will be the region in its next mainline game. Hence, with all the other clues throughout the years, it is all but certain that the next game will be set in Hammerfell. Plus, The Elder Scrolls VI: Hammerfell has a nice ring to it.”

“I honestly find it funny that I’ll probably end up dying of old age before we get a full game set in each region,” replied South_Buy_3175.

“This, plus the map image they teased a while back, the Pinterest account that was discovered, and Emil’s post of himself in desert garb and riding camels pretty much seals the deal, and has for a while,” claimed Professional_Monk317.

“I still wish it were Black Marsh,” exclaimed AscendedViking7.

“It'll be High Rock and Hammerfell,” suggested thaddeus122.

I would like to say that hopefully, Bethesda will put us out of our misery soon and reveal all the juicy details about The Elder Scrolls VI. However, I feel that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered may have been a deliberate (but welcome) distraction.
