After eight years since its announcement, Bethesda has finally revealed that The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel is the official title of the fantasy franchise's next chapter. The title was just recently leaked, but Bethesda used its 40th anniversary celebration as an opportunity to fully confirm that the rumors were true. There is still very little known about The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel, but the title offers at least a small hint of what to expect from the long-awaited project.

Honestly, I wondered if this day would ever even come. It's been a long time since Bethesda first announced the next Elder Scrolls game, and the developer has remained frustratingly tight-lipped ever since. As exciting as an Elder Scrolls update is, Bethesda taking the series to the city of Sentinel also has me worried. This won't be the first time that The Elder Scrolls has featured this city, but it's hard to imagine a scenario where Bethesda is able to bring Sentinel to life in a way that meets modern world design standards.

It's no secret that Starfield left a lot of longtime Bethesda fans disappointed. I thought Starfield was decent, but it definitely left a lot to be desired, especially after developers like CD Projekt Red significantly raised the bar for immersive open-world games with The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 . The Witcher 3 is eight years older than Starfield and still feels far more compelling and lifelike than Bethesda's space adventure ever did.
