Name confirmation ends more than eight years of waiting
Eurogamer ↗Official title logo accompanies the Sentinel name reveal
Nintendo Life ↗Sentinel confirmed as the next Elder Scrolls subtitle
IGN All Gaming ↗Bethesda marks its 40th anniversary with celebration video

The name and logo remain confirmed, but newer coverage adds that Bethesda says it will be some time before it shares more. IGN All Gaming reported that the game may be at least two years from release; coverage still gives no release date.
How it started
The sixth Elder Scrolls game was announced in 2018, according to Gematsu. It has taken more than eight years for Bethesda to confirm its subtitle.
The game is the long-awaited follow-up to Skyrim, IGN All Gaming reported. The latest announcement gives that project a full name: The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel.
How it unfolded
On November 3, 2026, Bethesda confirmed the name in a video celebrating its 40th anniversary. The video ran less than ten minutes, according to The Verge.
The subtitle is Sentinel. Polygon.com reported that fans had begun theorizing about that name a few days before the official confirmation.
Bethesda also unveiled a title logo, as reported by Nintendo Life. The reveal therefore established both the game's name and its branding.
Eurogamer put the wait at eight years, four months, and 23 days since the original reveal, and reported that a new trailer was coming.
Where it stands
Sentinel is now the confirmed subtitle, not simply a fan theory. IGN All Gaming and Gematsu both reported the official title announcement.
The supplied coverage establishes the name, logo and anniversary reveal. It does not provide a release date, platform list or detailed gameplay information.
What to watch
The next item to watch is the new trailer reported by Eurogamer. The supplied coverage does not specify when it will arrive or what it will show, leaving the game's timing and gameplay details open.
