While the release date ofThe Elder Scrolls 6is as yet still a mystery to fans, it has done little to kill the hype around the game. Fans ofThe Elder Scrollsseries have been eagerly awaiting the next installment in the series since the release ofThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimover 10 years ago. Fans have, of course, been sharing leaks, rumors, and fan theories aroundThe Elder Scrolls 6regularly since its reveal in 2018, but these details remain unconfirmed. Despite being teased almost four years ago, fans have very little subject matter to go off when it comes toThe Elder Scrolls 6.
However, withThe Elder Scrolls 6expected to be the next major Bethesda game afterStarfield, fans may be hoping to gather more information over the coming year and beyond. A great way that this information could be teased to fans is throughThe Elder Scrolls Online, which has played host to a number of classicElder Scrollslocations over the past few years.The Elder Scrolls Online’svarious locationskeep fans coming back for more, and a brand new one based aroundThe Elder Scrolls 6could bring in all kinds of fans of the series.

The Elder Scrolls 6 in The Elder Scrolls Online
Nestled withinThe Elder Scrolls Onlinejust may be the key to fans gaining an insight into the nextElder Scrollstitle. Fans already have some idea as tothe setting ofThe Elder Scrolls 6thanks to some stellar detective work from gamers along with a couple of helpful hints contained within trailers. While of course, the setting ofThe Elder Scrolls 6is still unconfirmed, fans can say with a fair degree of certainty thatThe Elder Scrolls 6will take them to Hammerfell and High Rock. This theory was seemingly confirmed inStarfield’steaser trailer, which showed a map scrawled on the side of a terminal that bore a striking resemblance to Hammerfell and High Rock.
With this setting seemingly all but confirmed, it’s time for fans to turn their attention toThe Elder Scrolls Online, which just happens to have both locations already within the game. As things stand, players can already get a taste ofThe Elder Scrolls 6before it has even been fully revealed. This offers fans a great chance to become familiar with the location, and perhaps some ofthe lore behindThe Elder Scrolls 6, before they get their hands on it in the future. Moreover, it offers Bethesda a potential opportunity to tease aspects ofThe Elder Scrolls 6before the big reveal takes place.
The Elder Scrolls Online Should Tease The Elder Scrolls 6
As is shown from theEaster Egg inStarfield’steaser trailer, Bethesda is open to occasionally teasing fans. With this in mind, along with the fact thatThe Elder Scrolls 6’s apparent location is inThe Elder Scrolls Online, it seems possible or even likely that this could be the platform for a future teaser. Exactly what form this teaser could come in is questionable, as an all-out introduction to the story ofThe Elder Scrolls 6is rather unlikely. Something more along the lines of what can be seen in theStarfieldtrailer may satisfy fans’ urge for information without spoiling too much of the next game in the series.
The Elder Scrolls Onlineoffers a perfect opportunity to put a fewElder Scrolls 6fan theoriesto bed while maintaining an element of mystery. Fans seem to be fairly confident in their convictions that Hammerfell and High Rock are the locations forThe Elder Scrolls 6, although some have theorized other locations, while the time period is entirely up in the air. Adding new quest lines in Hammerfell and High Rock could be a good way to tease aspects of the game without confirming anything. This should keep the hype train in motion until more information is officially revealed.
