Elder Scrolls 6: 5 Most Likely Locations Based On The Teaser
5. Cyrodiil
Bethesda
A locale featured in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, a return to the Imperial capital has been a long time coming, with the fourth Elder Scrolls having first released over twelve years ago. Though fans do of course want to see a brand new setting, a return to Cyrodiil actually makes a great deal of chronological sense, with Skyrim having built up the threat of the Aldmeri Dominion and the collapse of the Empire.
Cyrodiil is the Imperial capital. That makes it the jewel in the crown of Tamriel, and though Oblivion looked to depict the locale under less dire circumstances (initially), the prospect of returning to a capital divided, broken, and under threat of Elven invasion would be both a welcome change, and an interesting contrast.
Yes, it's been done before. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be done again, however, and with Skyrim having left quite a few threads to be explored in a future release, a return to Cyrodiil makes plenty of sense.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
