Elder Scrolls 6: 5 Most Likely Locations Based On The Teaser
3. Hammerfell
Bethesda
Pirates are very much in again. With Skull and Bones, Sea of Thieves and pirate-based shenanigans set to join Kingdom Hearts, everyone's favourite sea-fairing thieves are experiencing a mini resurgence of sorts, and with Tamriel having its own pirate-esque locale to explore, it's one that could yet influence the next Elder Scrolls.
Opposite High Rock is Hammerfell, a mountainous desert area populated by the Redguards. Renowned for their skills in combat, Redguard and High Rock have come into conflict with each other on numerous occasions - a premise that could serve as the backdrop to the Elder Scrolls VI.
Fans of Skyrim in particular will remember the Redguards during the 'In My Time of Need" side quest, where a Redguard fugitive - later revealed to be a traitor who sold the country out to the Aldmeri Dominion - is tracked down by a group of Redguard mercenaries. That alone presents a really interesting idea for an Elder Scrolls game, and if players could move between High Rock and Hammerfell at their will, then there'd be two standout settings to explore already.
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.
