Elder Scrolls 6: 5 Most Likely Locations Based On The Teaser

4. High Rock

Home to the Bretons and an Imperial Province, High Rock hasn't been the focus of an Elder Scrolls title for decades. While you can of course travel there in Elder Scrolls: Online, it's about time the setting made a comeback elsewhere, sporting a medieval theme as opposed to Skyrim's Nordic-Roman hybrid.

Adept in magic and renowned as scholars, Bretons frequently appeared in Skyrim and have occupied areas of key influence in numerous Elder Scrolls titles. A thorough exploration of High Rock as a location is still yet to happen though, and with forests, mountainous regions and rocky areas the region's key geographical features, comparisons between it and the sole teaser for the series' sixth entry make plenty of sense.

It might not be as big or as grand as Skyrim, which presents a few issues, but who's to say that High Rock won't form one of several different locales? With the next title said to be developing with the next generation in mind, it's not completely unfeasible.

That, and past Elder Scrolls titles have taken similar approaches, so it's not without precedent.

Content Producer/Presenter

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.
