As ever with leaks, take this one with a pinch of salt, but a bunch of alleged Elder Scrolls 6 details have made their way onto the Internet. First posted on the Elder Scrolls fandom forums, it's a classic case of 'I heard this from a friend who heard it from a friend," but there is some evidence to support the poster's claims, including a picture of an NDA document apparently for the game.

According to the report, the game will be titled 'Redfall' and take place across two locations instead of one, those being Hammerfall and High Rock. Like Skyrim, these areas will be made up of a bunch of factions and cities, each with their own interests.

As a result, the focus of the story is the conflict between these houses and parties, essentially taking the Civil War conflict from Skyrim and blowing it out on a much larger scale. To compliment this, Bethesda is apparently focused on building epic battles with dozens, if not hundreds, of NPCs fighting at the same time, a sense of scale that Skyrim could simply not achieve.

Likewise, the open world itself will be the biggest they've ever built, and separated by huge bodies of water. To circumvent this there will be a focus on naval exploration and combat, with players being able to pilot ships, Assassin's Creed style.

The leaker also claims the game has a target release of Q4 2024, which is a long ways off, but not surprising since the developers have made it clear Starfield is the main priority at the moment.
