Post Believes the Location Might Have Been Featured in ‘The Elder Scrolls 6’ Teaser Trailer

We’ve been waiting to hear more about The Elder Scrolls 6 since its initial announcement in 2018. Unfortunately, it’s unlikely Bethesda will reveal anything about the highly anticipated RPG in 2025 either. As confirmed by the studio, the RPG is still in early production.

Due to a lack of information on the game, players have spent years constantly analyzing every single frame of the 2018 teaser. They’ve come up with wild theories and speculations suggesting where the game could take place. Now, it is believed that we could see Hew’s Bane being the primary setting for Elder Scrolls 6. Let’s take a look at everything we know about this region.

has taken to r/ElderScrolls and presented a compelling theory suggesting that the Elder Scrolls 6 teaser could be hinting at the western coast of Hew’s Bane. They’ve pointed out the rocky wastes and distant mountains that align with the environment of Hew’s Bane, which can be seen in the official Elder Scrolls map.

According to the Redditor, the foreground may be the western edge of the Dragontail Mountains, and those in the background might be near Taneth. The visible crater in the teaser might be the impact side of Voldendrug, suggesting that the city in the distance might be Gilane.

Hew’s Bane is a location that is unfamiliar to a lot of Elder Scrolls fans, even the hardcore ones. It’s a small but rich peninsula that can be found in the southernmost region of Hammerfell in the Elder Scrolls Universe. Originally, Bethesda introduced players to this location with Elder Scrolls Online, and it’s stated to be the home of Abah’s Landing.

What’s with the place’s name? Well, it’s derived from Prince Hew, who couldn’t clear the region’s dense jungles and left another harsh, rocky landscape in Tamreil. The most popular faction here is the Thieves Guild, which uses Hew’s Bane as its headquarters. The region is right next to cities such as Gilane.

Considering the evidence the Redditor has put forward in their theory, there’s a good chance that Elder Scrolls 6 might take place in Hew’s Bane. Let’s not forget that it’s been rumored that the game might feature naval warfare, and Hew’s Bane, a region known for its seafaring activities, would be a perfect fit.

Don’t worry, as Elder Scrolls 6 is still happening

Even though Bethesda has repeatedly stated that Elder Scrolls 6‘s production is in full swing, gamers have been worried. It’s been almost seven years since the title’s first release, and we’ve never seen anything else about the game.

A few screenshots or another teaser would’ve been enough to satisfy the community. Since we haven’t seen any of these, some in the fandom believe that Elder Scrolls 6 is just a dream that’s never going to happen.

However, that’s not the case, as confirmed by the man himself, Todd Howard. Bethesda recently dropped Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, and during the reveal, Howard

that the studio is working hard on the “sixth chapter” of the franchise.

All we can hope is that Elder Scrolls 6 doesn’t fall into the same trap as Starfield. The space sci-fi was supposed to be Bethesda’s next big IP, but it was nothing short of a disaster.

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