I would argue thatThe Elder Scrolls VIis very nearly the most anticipated video game of all time, second only toGTA VI.
We know that the follow-up toSkyrimis currently in development,but beyond that? The RPG remains a mystery. Where, exactly, in the vast realm of Tamriel will the game be set?Skyrimlet players loose in the continent’s titular wintry region, whileMorrowindgave us an unforgettable glimpse at the Vvardenfell province.
We can assumeThe Elder Scrolls VIis taking us somewhere new, but where? Well, as it turns out,Bethesdamay have teased this very thing ages ago, and you might just have missed it.

Take a look at some of the bestSkyrimwins and fails below!
Hammerfell is a massive, mountainous region that borders Skyrim and Cyrodill (which is whereObliviontook place). Home of the Redguards, Hammerfell boasts vast stretches of desert, and plenty of green, rich grasslands. There are also multiple major cities to be found, including the port town of Rihad, which sits on the coast of the Abecean Sea to the south. There’s lots to see in Hammerfell, basically.

It’s worth noting that after the E3 2018 trailer fans were already convinced that Bethesda was teasing Hammerfell. But Bethesda’s 2021 New Year tweet further fuelled this speculation when it showed off a map of Skyrim, along with the caption “transcribe the past and map the future”. That might not seem like much to go on, but it wasn’t long until fans noticed a series of strange lights on the map that all pointed to the neighbouring region of Hammerfell.
So, I’m certainly not telling you to put money on anything, but I wouldn’t bet againstThe Elder Scrolls VItaking us on a little trip across the border to Hammerfell.
