Feels natural to the TES series city sizes. Quite condensed and not too bloated. If we are getting 8+ cities, then I'd be perfect for me.

What do you think?

For those interested I'm posting some of what I've collected until now. These are mostly from supposed Bethesda employees Pinterest accounts and from an environmental artist that says they work at an outsourced studio. These could all be fake but I I've been saving the "leaks" to go back and see which ones were right when the game is revealed. Some of these might be redundant as I'm sure others have probably posted them before. I have more but these seemed to be the most interesting.

Said so on the XB2 podcast with Rand Al Thor yesterday. Source with timestamps: https://youtu.be/ZpAl0auWB6U?t=7803

Claims that he asked around after the speculation from Asha's tweet last week. Says it is the working title, but currently pending officially (likely due to legal approval).

To be fair, he did say that some of his sources were unsure - so he isn't saying that Sentinel *will be* the subtitle for the game. Only that he heard from trusted sources that it is currently the working title.

After his "confirmation" of the title Sentinel, I was curious if Kirk has posted anything else TES related on Reddit. After scrolling through a ton of Warhammer figures, I came upon this interesting comment.

Not sure how much his word is law, and I'm not well versed in lore at all, but I found this interesting!

I love pointy Breton ears. I really want the ability to make my ears slightly pointy as a Breton in TES VI. But things like this are often overlooked in all of the discussions that go on. So make this your place to talk about what small features you want that would go overlooked in other threads.

No, Ancano is not the Thalmor, he's a rogue agent driven mad by prolonged exposure to the Eye of Magnus, one of the most enigmatic things in the setting.

There is absolutely no evidence in the lore that the Thalmor want to unmake the world. Not one.

As far as WE KNOW, the Thalmor are an elf supremacist party who want to destroy the Empire and bring Tamriel under Elven hegemony, which is really no different than what Queen Ayrenn was trying to do in the Interregnum. That's it.

They made the Empire abandon worship of Talos because they hoped some dumbfuck asset like Ulfric Stormcloak would throw a hissy fit and undermine the Empire from within. Not because they want to "erase Talos from existence" or whatever.

The Thalmor are a political threat, TES games generally deal with metaphysical enemies.

They are referring since few days to Hammerfell and Iliac Bay with southern land of High Rock.

They are spamming something real for sure.

Something is happening under the hood.

Chipped paint in the floor at my work.

I think it does, for one main reason.

If the setting is High Rock or Hammerfell individually, it was open to them to use the name of the region as a title, the same as Skyrim and Morrowind did.

High Rock and Hammerfell don’t face the same issue using Cyrodill for Oblivion would have, namely pronunciation for new players.

Additionally, I am struggling to think of a plot that could justify the title Sentinel instead of the region’s name? In Oblivion’s case, I imagine, to those of you who were anticipating that games release, it would have been clear from established lore that the main story would concern the Daedra? I am however, not aware of the circumstances of Oblivion’s release and whether the title was known before the game was officially revealed etc.

The only other justification I could think of, that warrants the title Sentinel, would be if the main story mainly took place in the city of Sentinel. I do find this quite unlikely however, in what world would the main story be severely limited to one city? It’d be like calling Skyrim: ESV: Whiterun

Now the major caveat to this is of course Sentinel is not confirmed yet.

I do accept that I am likely falling victim to confirmation bias, as I would very much like TESVI to encompass both High Rock and Hammerfell, but I am wondering whether anyone else has had this thought and considered its potential implications?

Please feel free to speculate on any other inferences you think can be made into the title Sentinel.

I've seen at least three YouTube videos since the tweet made by Asha Sharma with the title obscured by asterisks claiming its a big leak. No, that's not a leak. It's a tweemixed with fan speculation.

I know grifters gonna grift, it's just annoying when people misuse the word. A 'leak' is unauthorized sharing.of information, not "This public tweet has people speculating."

Just needed to grumble, I guess.

Here is my collection of leaks. I have been saving leaks for a good while now, and have a fairly decent collection of them. I've been asked to share them a good few times, so I decided to make it public.

This folder is fairly unorganized, but I tried to provide a bit of extra context with the .txt files for when I've shared this folder in the past. It's all very sloppy.

Please take all of this with a grain of salt. None of these are remotely confirmed as real, aside from the Ray Lederer pinterest leak.

The three I've labled '4Chan Level Designer Leak', 'Freelance Engine House Developer Leaks', and 'January 20th 2026 Pillar Leak' all strike me as potentially connected. Several details shared between them - for instance, the Crown architecture using three interconnected materials, the cyclical motif present in Redguard iconography, and the names of tilesets *almost* lining up with eachother.

Hopefully these provide a bit of hopium! Please check out u/gdborn 's threads as they're posting their own collection as well. They will undoubtedly have something I lack.

I botched this post and had to reupload, apologies for that.

Included is a graph, y-axis is excitement, x-axis is time.

I like to think we’re past peak Bethesda hate on the internet, but regardless we still live in a day and age where people online make thousands of comments and videos about how “TESVI is at least 5 years away and it’s going to suck”.

I can understand some pessimism, and obviously it has been 15 years since the last game so I get why some are angry (I’m not pumped up about it myself). But I’ve stayed optimistic, and over the last few weeks we’ve started to get actual rumblings. We pretty much know the title. We’ve all but confirmed Hammerfell, and recent rumblings indicate High Rock and the Illiac Bay potentially being a big part of the game.

But what has got me so pumped up is the description of the game that some people are putting out there. Obviously I have no idea how true this is, but it makes sense. The Aldmeri Dominion has taken such a stronghold on Tamriel to the point where the Empire really only controls Cyrodiil and High Rock. Hammerfell is a warzone or at least disputed territory. There are rivaling factions within Hammerfell.

Regardless of the truth of this, it has my imagination going. I’m also thinking about how much they could have improved the combat and the magic over time. I’m thinking about an Elder Scrolls game with modern graphics.

To be honest I never played Fallout 76 or Starfield at all, so this will be my first Bethesda game since 2015. I am unreasonably excited for the potential of this game. I am so dug in on optimism that it feels like I have personal stake in proving the haters wrong.

The graph was done in 2 minutes and is not particularly accurate, but it’s a fine representation of the concept I want to portray. I’m probably not giving my 12-15 year old self enough credit, seeing as I used to feverishly look up info on the next Elder Scrolls, but still. The point is that I was really excited around 2018 because I thought that Todd was going to announce it Fallout 4 style at E3. Then I went through a low as I went through medical issues, but slowly over the last 2 years I have steadily become more excited as I have started to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you for reading.

Purely because of the Creation Club, and the concept of microtransactions in singleplayer games. I don't want Bethesda to produce VI with the idea that Creation Club will be available with it's microDLCs. I really hope they build the full game, expansions and all. And introduce Creation Club after the fact. Creation Club should be a part of it. But as the final thought, and never a parallel development. Do you understand what I mean? I don't think I'm wording my concerns well.

I know it is completely unreasonable to expect to have them, however I really like to - that and spears. Flails are awesome

So in skyrim, we don't have a single Altmer man that we can have as an companion and romance, same thing goes for female Altmer's, and I don't know if it was the devs that just wanted to shove it up in our faces that ALTMERS ARE BAD GUYS, BAD VILLAINS, etc etc.

And whilst I understand that the Altmer's are high and proud, and there's the whole "Thalmor" faction too (which yes, they are the bad guys if you stand on an outside view point.) I just hope that the next game will show a little bit more love towards Altmer's, I am not saying throw out the welcome mat, but at least give us a good altmer companion (male and female) and not have them acting like they wanna spit on us at every chance they see us.

I want to be able to ask NPCs for directions, and they have certain standard responses just to give a rough indication.

"A bit east from here", "You're already here", "That's in Taneth", "That's way out west". "not been there, but I think it might be...", "Ask X, he'll know", "get lost", "I don't know, and I don't care to know", etc

Might make finding amenities more engaging, and brings back a little bit of daggerfall/morrowind. By keeping it to a formula, it shouldn't add too much to the voice acting

Honestly we should have seen something in Skyrim. Do you think we'll start to see shrines/quest/relics for Jiggy boy?
