The Elder Scrolls 6 Location Reportedly Not Hammerfell, It’s a City We Already Explored in Daggerfall

It’s been seven years since the first reveal of Elder Scrolls 6, but we still don’t know anything. Bethesda and Todd Howard have kept the fanbase in the dark over the core elements of the next chapter in the Elder Scrolls franchise, such as its release date and setting. The major location of any game in the franchise is massively important.

In the last couple of months, we’ve seen several leaks surfacing online suggesting that Elder Scrolls 6 will take us to the province of Hammerfell. There’s seriously a lot of potential with this location, as we could get some extensive lore drops and unique questlines. However, a brand new

theory has turned everything upside down. There’s a chance that Elder Scrolls 6 could actually be set in Farrun.

Is Farrun the real setting for Elder Scrolls 6?

If you’re unaware, Farrun is a major city in the northwestern region of High Rock in the Elder Scrolls verse. It’s part of the Iliac Bay region and was featured in the classic Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall as one of the primary locations players could interact with. However, we haven’t seen Farrun playing a role in all of the recent Elder Scrolls entries.

Fortunately, that could all change if we’re to believe Redditor

‘s theory. According to them, if you compare the terrain seen in the 2018 teaser for Elder Scrolls 6 to Tamriel’s map, the coastline matches High Rock’s unique sideways shape.

On the other hand, Hammerfell’s coastline is far more in the south and narrower, with mountains directly dropping into the ocean.

The Redditor states that the camera angle in the teaser looks to pan from the Reach into Farrun, revealing the land that is put into the sea, and features consistent with northern High Rock. Clearly, this region doesn’t align with the known geography of Hammerfell.

says, although they were convinced that the teaser was suggesting Hammerfell, Farrun “could be [the] right” location.

However, others aren’t convinced. User

believes that the setting revealed in the teaser is a “generic landscape,” and doesn’t represent any place where Elder Scrolls 6 is going to take place, as it was just a confirmation of the game being a real project.

, hope to see Elder Scrolls 6 covering other locations, such as “Elsewyr and Valenwood”. These areas are home to Khajiit and Bosmer, respectively, and are known for their rich lore.

Todd Howard might soon reveal Elder Scrolls 6

All the speculation surrounding the possible setting of Elder Scrolls 6 might soon come to an end, as rumors suggest an official reveal is right around the corner. That’s right, the wait might finally come to an end.

Reliable Xbox insider, exTas1s has suggested that there’s a chance that Bethesda could offer gamers a look at the Elder Scrolls 6 as early as in July 2025. We already know that an Xbox Games Showcase 2025 is planned for June 8, 2025, and this would be a perfect opportunity to show off the game.

However, this prediction seems quite optimistic. Let’s not forget that Elder Scrolls 6 only entered into full-scale development after the release of Starfield in 2023. Bethesda didn’t immediately start developing the game after announcing it in 2018.

Modern video game development is no joke and can take years. So, it’s fair to say that Elder Scrolls 6 won’t get a teaser before 2026/2027 at the earliest.

With that said, where do you think Elder Scrolls 6 could take place? Let us know in the comments below.
