Does this mean that The Elder Scrolls 6 will inevitably have multiplayer? Even a traditionally single-player, story-focused studio like BioWare is experimenting with the online multiplayer title, Anthem.īethesda has mostly kept its foothold in the single-player arena, but the upcoming Fallout 76, an always-online multiplayer game set in a traditionally single-player universe, shows that the studio is willing to experiment as well. They call that their 'peak tinfoil' theory, though.īut as Electronic Arts argues, linear games aren't as popular with gamers anymore, which is the reason why the publisher decided to cancel Visceral's action-adventure Star Wars project. Inverse also suggests that the next game could actually take place away from Tamriel and on the continent of Akavir, home of the mysterious Akaviri people the series has been teasing for so long. Their argument is that the bits of High Rock that players get to visit in The Elder Scrolls Online are in line with the trailer, particularly the mountains and its 'rugged beauty.' The magic-wielding Bretons and Orcs live in this region, which could provide some interesting conflicts.

Inverse, on the other hand, says the setting is most likely High Rock. The outlet also points to a fan-made map from 2014 that makes a good case for why the city in the trailer is in fact Sentinel from Hammerfell. The coastline, dry climate, and greenery all point to Hammerfell, which is located on the west coast of Tamriel bordered by Skyrim, Cyrodiil, and High Rock. Eurogamer presents some pretty convincing evidence that the mountains shown in the trailer belong to the land of Hammerfell.
