WithStarfieldreleasing early in 2023, fans could learn Elder Scrolls 6late next year…perhaps. Despite being announced in 2018,The Elder Scrolls 6is still reportedly in the earliest stages of development, as Bethesda focuses on the upcoming release ofStarfield. It is also slated to receive DLC, and the earliest fans could really expect theElder Scrollsgame to release is 2025. It’s likely to be after that, at this point.
So, it’s possible that nothing is learned for a few years. Bethesda did say there would be noElder Scrolls 6news until afterStarfield’s release, and well, hopefully, something comes out relatively soon thereafter. Nonetheless, that hasn’t stopped fan speculation on the title, which many believe takes place inHammerfell and High Rock.

The Elder Scrolls 6is unlikely to heavily feature dragons, if for no other reason than the lore and their heavy association withSkyrim. The game needs some sort of main enemy, though, and perhaps the most interesting route it could take is tied to the Dwemer Constructs left behind by the mysterious civilization.
The Elder Scrolls: Dwemer and Hammerfell
Prior to the arrival of the Redguards,Dwemer heavily occupied Hammerfell. They were spread across several provinces, with the capital said to be in Morrowind. Some have argued that it was actually in Hammerfell, or perhaps there was another major city among small Dwemer civilizations. Either way, they had a heavy presence in Hammerfell.
Now,The Elder Scrollsis never likely to reveal the entire mystery surrounding the Dwemer’s disappearance. It is like Yoda’s race inStar Wars– the entire mystery and unique qualities of Yoda and the few members seen of his race make its existence all the more enticing. But with Hammerfell littered with Dwemer ruins, potentially more so than Skyrim or other provinces, these Constructs would make great primary enemies.
The Elder Scrolls: The Dwemer Constructs Rise Up
It’s not that Dwemer Constructs would be new, though, as many have been fought across several titles. There could be new constructs, though, and it wouldn’t have to be limited to the underground.The Dwemer disappeared during their war with the Chimer, but the race left behind ruins, machines, and more. It stands to reason that they left behind thus-unseen war machines that could take to the surface, perhaps under the guidance of someone using Dwemer tech to wage war on the surface.
How this could happen doesn’t matter much, and this is entirely fun speculation. It may not happen whatsoever. But to face off against giants that trump other Dwemer tech, massive war machines, and perhaps sieges by machines againstHammerfell cities in The Elder Scrolls 6sound like a lot of fun. Perhaps there is some machine in the works that need to be completed, and its completion would change the very landscape of Tamriel forever. Again, all in good fun, but Bethesda has barely scratched the surface when it comes to Dwemer possibilities.
