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.
