Sign in to your TheGamer account After The Elder Scrolls fans started getting a little too sure that Sentinel news was coming today, Bethesda has stepped in to set the record straight on what to expect. Last week, Xbox and Bethesda dropped a bombshell on The Elder Scrolls fans by finally giving us a concrete, non-interview update on the long-awaited next game. The new trailer followed in the reveal’s footsteps by being entirely CGI and incredibly short, but at least gave us something to chew on with a reveal of the subtitle Sentinel and confirmation of a return to Hammerfell. That excitement dwindled a little bit when it was reported that Sentinel was still more than two years away from releasing, which some fans outright refused to believe. Even after the original reporter doubled down, some were convinced that the trailer was teasing big news for today, something that got so out of hand that Bethesda even stepped in. It’s Suddenly Even Easier To Believe How Far Out It Is Ever since the teaser trailer for Sentinel was released last week, there have been theories floating around that something would be shared today, November 11, which is Skyrim’s anniversary. Some thought the trailer’s visuals hinted at it, while others speculated that Bethesda was counting down to it through anniversary posts. Things really came to a head when Redditor Sorry-Instruction330 shared a post from kiwitalkz that teased an incoming announcement that many tied to The Elder Scrolls 6. That thread got so much traction that Bethesda itself stepped in to share a statement debunking the 11/11 rumours and really setting the tone for when we’ll get an update. The statement confirms that Bethesda isn’t making “any big announcements” today and that while it’s “excited you’re excited”, nothing new will be shared on Sentinel “for some time”. So basically, if you’re expecting anything other than a Skyrim celebration post to mark 15 years, then you’re going to be sorely disappointed. From the sound of it, Sentinel might not even launch on this generation of consoles, or at least be a cross-gen game. If you somehow still didn’t believe that a reliable reporter with plenty of Bethesda scoops like Jason Schreier was mistaken, then Bethesda outright saying it’s going to be a long time should really clue you in. This game is not on the horizon by any means, even if we can finally stop just calling it The Elder Scrolls 6.
