Years after its announcement, details about The Elder Scrolls VI remain scarce. However, a recent rumor offers some potential insights into the game's development.
An anonymous 4chan user claims that TES VI, codenamed "Highfell," is in early development, led by Todd Howard, with music by Inon Zur. The game will reportedly feature:
- Seafaring and exploration: Players will captain ships and explore procedurally generated islands.
- Two provinces: Likely Hammerfell and High Rock, marking a return to multi-province exploration since Daggerfall.
- 12-13 major cities, comparable in size to Solitude and Whiterun from Skyrim.
- Settlement management similar to Fallout 4.
- A classless system, minimizing menus and RPG conventions.
While this information is unconfirmed and subject to change, it offers exciting possibilities. The rumor also suggests an initial PC and Xbox exclusivity, with a potential PlayStation release later.
It's important to treat this information with caution, as it's based on an unverified source. However, it provides a glimpse into what The Elder Scrolls VI might offer.
