The Elder Scrolls 6: New Details Emerge - Shipbuilding, Sea Battles, and Expanded Exploration Await
2025-02-21 17:00:53Since Bethesda's announcement of The Elder Scrolls 6 back in 2018, news surrounding the highly anticipated title has been scarce. Recently, however, industry insider Extas1s shed some light on potential new features, discussing details about the game's primary locations, naval gameplay, and the return of iconic creatures.
According to Extas1s, The Elder Scrolls 6 aims to be even more immersive than previous installments in the series, with the story unfolding across the provinces of Hammerfell and High Rock within the vast world of Tamriel.
The Elder Scrolls 6 is rumored to incorporate naval combat and a shipbuilding system, drawing inspiration from Bethesda's recent spacefaring RPG, Starfield. Players will be able to explore islands scattered along the coasts of the main regions, dive beneath the waves to discover hidden underwater locations, and encounter diverse marine life.
Dragons, a staple of the Elder Scrolls universe, will be making a grand return in The Elder Scrolls 6. The game is expected to feature a dozen or more major cities. Furthermore, Extas1s indicated a complete overhaul of the progression system and significant improvements to combat mechanics.
Extensive player-driven construction is also reportedly in the works, allowing players to build and manage their own strongholds, villages, and settlements. Bethesda may unveil further details about The Elder Scrolls 6 as early as July of this year.
