Bethesda names Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel as Skyrim marks 15 years

The Elder Scrolls VI has a name: Sentinel. Bethesda Game Studios revealed the title in a Bluesky post dated 3 November 2026, while warning players not to expect another information drop just yet.

“Development continues, and while it’ll be some time before we’re ready to share more, it feels great to finally reveal the name and location with you,” the studio wrote.

The post thanked players for 40 years of shared memories. It did not give a release date, platform list or gameplay details for Sentinel. While Bethesda described the announcement as a name and location reveal, the supplied post does not separately explain the setting. There is little here to support a deeper breakdown of the next game.

For Skyrim players, there is more to unpack. In a separate announcement dated 11 November 2026, Bethesda Softworks marked the game’s 15th anniversary with a bundle gathering five Creations from its Verified Creators.

Bethesda says all Creations in the Anniversary Bundle are available on Xbox, PC and PlayStation. The bundle is scheduled to leave the Creation Menu on 12 December. The announcement supplied here does not state a price.

Among the additions is Legacy of Orsinium by Veelpot, which Bethesda describes as a professionally voiced faction storyline with multiple endings. It includes expanded mines, an Orcish tomb, stronghold side quests and equipment inspired by The Elder Scrolls Online: Orsinium.

There is also a new travelling companion. Kaitryn Fair-Shadows, by anbeegod, is a lorekeeper specialising in magic and healing, voiced by Chloe Elmore. According to Bethesda, she responds to main quests, guild questlines, selected side quests and details such as location and weather. She has an approval system and can be romanced and married.

Legendary Dungeons: Dwarven Delves, by Trainwiz, reimagines The Elder Scrolls Online’s Stone Garden and Frostvault for Skyrim. Bethesda lists new factions, enemies, items and secrets across the two dungeons. These are the publisher’s descriptions, not independently tested assessments.

The supplied techAU headline also links Skyrim’s anniversary, Bethesda’s 40-year milestone and the Sentinel reveal. However, that secondary extract contains no substantive article text beyond the headline. The concrete details come from Bethesda’s own post and anniversary announcement.

The split is clear: Skyrim gets a creator-content celebration with a stated bundle deadline, while Sentinel gets its name in public. A release timetable for the next Elder Scrolls remains absent from these announcements.
