Over the past week, rumors have started swirling as Redditors (probably correctly) deduced the title of the upcoming Elder Scrolls game, which will apparently be Sentinel. Following a post from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who enjoyed a gameplay demo of the game at Bethesda, where she hinted that the name of the next game might be an 8-letter word, old easter eggs resurfaced.

There's a couple of reasons for that. For starters, it turns out that Bethesda Game Studios had been sneakily teasing it for a very long time, even at the Starfield character creation screen. A user quickly discovered that the Employee Number listed on the screen was actually the same for everyone: 190514-2009140512. When divided into pairs and read as alphabet letters, it was revealed to be:
19 05 14 20 09 14 05 12 - S E N T I N E L

On top of that, a former Bethesda employee apparently confirmed the name after it started emerging. Do you believe in this rumor? Do you expect it to be correct, or do you think it's just collective imagination? On a scale from 0 (starfield) to 10 (morrowind) how excited are you about this next Elder Scrolls game?

Personally, I believe it.
Unless the easter egg was placed in Starfield to intentionally deceive, it's got to be the right name.

Now as someone who only picked up The Elder Scrolls when Oblivion came out (so I guess that's just 2 games? lol) I have no idea what Sentinel is, or means. It wasn't very central in the lore of the 2 games I played.

Everyone thinks The Elder Scrolls VI will be called 'another tod's pseudo-rpg'

A sentinel is a guard, lookout, or person who keeps watch to prevent danger.

It kind of looks like it fits the games story line but I never got that deep into elder scrolls.

Sentinel is a major city/kingdom in Hammerfell. Which was widely speculated to be the likely setting of VI going back years. I'm surprised looking now that it wasn't earlier confirmed.

I guess 4, or maybe 5. I have very little hope for the new TES game. It'll be fun to see what RPG elements they'll remove, and what weapon type will be removed.

What a weird name for Skyrim 2.

 

[ChibiMofo]

What a weird obsession some of you have.

 

[The Catboy]

I think it will be called “underwhelming”

 

[Jayro]

I think it will be called “underwhelming”

Also "over-hyped" due to the long wait.

 

[CMDreamer]

I think it will be called "Everyone are way too many people".

 

[Naster]

I don’t really care.

Bethesda did great with Skyrim back in 2011 it was kinda state of the art (not really but let's just say it was a hit at the time).
But even then, it wasn't extremely innovative - it barely improved upon Oblivion, which was a 2006 game.

Anyway, since Skyrim, Bethesda have been making 2011-era games. Starfield feels like a 2011 game with slightly -slightly- better graphics. I tried playing the Fallout games but I never liked the series, it just felt like wasteland Skyrim.

For me, Sentinel is Bethesda's last chance. Can they really make a 2027 (or 2028) modern era game? I mean, the open world RPG genre has evolved so much over the years. They better get their shit together.

I'm not believing it exists until it's here

Problem with these games is same that annoys me with Halo games.

Your character doesnt even look like it belongs in the world.

Old fashioned 90s games where it was a model running like a tank press button it floats with slight leg bend animation to look like a piss poor jump.

I installed oblivion remake again just to see if I could try it, and god reminds me of skyrim, so it seems these devs too are like halo where they dont improve anything other than make the map bigger.

 

[Flame]

Costello hey, you. You're finally awake.

Shoots Costello in the knee for making an article about Elder Scrolls.

A lot of people think this was "leaked" by corporate in order to distract from massive layoffs at Bethesda

Not everyone thinks that... My guess: Shithole
