Bethesda says Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel news is on hold 'for some time'

Bethesda Game Studios has officially told fans not to expect more news on The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel anytime soon, per Eurogamer. The statement came in response to speculation that the studio would make a big announcement on the 15th anniversary of Skyrim's release.

On a Reddit thread, the official Bethesda account wrote, "Hey everyone, wanted to pop in to say that we aren't going to have any big announcements tomorrow. We're excited you're excited but we will not be sharing anything new on Sentinel for some time." IGN confirmed the same statement.

The move poured cold water on rumors sparked by a vague social media post from a podcast host, which PC Gamer noted had nothing to do with Bethesda. Fans had hoped for news as the game was formally named Sentinel just last week, eight years after its initial reveal.

Despite the radio silence on Sentinel, Bethesda is marking Skyrim's anniversary. According to the reports, the studio has deeply discounted the game and is giving away commemorative art by artist Karl Fitzgerald.

For The Elder Scrolls Online, the Greymoor chapter is being added to the base game for free, and a limited-time event called Golden Pursuit is offering Skyrim-themed rewards until December 2nd.
