High Rock - which is where prominent cities like Daggerfall and Shornhelm exist - was heavily featured in the first two Elder Scrolls games and in Elder Scrolls Online. That landscape does look a bit like a tidal wave scoured it flat. I know the smart money's on The Elder Scrolls 6 being in High Rock, but I keep looking at these 3 peninsula in the trailer & thinking about the lost island of Yokuda. Interestingly enough, this terrain seems to match up with that of the lost islands of Yokuda, which was once home of the Redguards before a catastrophic event sunk much of the continent. In the very short, uneventful, and seemingly random teaser trailer for the game, you can notice a strange collection of peninsulas on the coast of the ocean area. Some theories suggest some other lesser-known locations could be featured. In the teaser, you can note a strange collection of peninsulas on the coast of the ocean area.

These locations are heavily referenced throughout Elder Scrolls lore as some of the game's most prominent races come from these lands. If we assume Bethesda wants to take us to a new location, we can guess that Elder Scrolls might take place in either Elsweyr (Home of the Khajit race), Black Marsh (home of the Argonians), or Valenwood (home of the wood elves). No one knows! To date, we've seen locales such as Morrowind, Skyrim, Cyrodiil, High Rock, and Hammerfell represented in one form or another, not including places like Elsweyr in Elder Scrolls Online. The Elder Scrolls 6 Where will it take place? But you know we'll be clawing for any details we can as the months move on. Time travel? Aliens? Sweet rolls? We don't know. The Elder Scrolls 6 could be about, well, anything.

Oblivion was all about fighting demons at the doorsteps of hell, while Skyrim was about you finding a dragon within yourself and shouting at people very loudly and violently. They're all set in the world of Tamriel, and they all feed off the same lore, but the stories are intentionally self-contained to allow new players to jump in wherever they want and not feel lost.įor that reason, we can't really draw any conclusions about what will happen in The Elder Scrolls 6 based on previous titles.

Except for the first two titles, each Elder Scrolls game has its own storyline.

The Elder Scrolls 6 What's the story so far?ĭespite The Elder Scrolls being a long-running series, the games aren't necessarily connected. It wasn't until the third entry - Morrowind - that the games began to take on the form that we've become used to, with each game being progressively more impressive than the ones before it.īethesda's biggest deviation came in 2014 when they released The Elder Scrolls Online, an MMORPG that would feature many of Tamriel's iconic locales in one massive world. Elder Scrolls followed this formula even in the earliest days when technology wasn't fully supportive of such ambitions.
