Has a Bethesda Employee Accidentally Leaked Elder Scrolls 6’s Setting?

The anticipation for information on Elder Scrolls 6 has been excruciating, but observant fans of the series believe they may have stumbled upon a possible leak regarding the setting of the upcoming sequel.

Since its initial announcement in 2018, Elder Scrolls 6 has been shrouded in mystery with little information released about the game. Fans have been eagerly awaiting any new details, but have only received small updates over the past six years.

Elder Scrolls 6 hopefuls have had to rely on deciphering potential details from job listings or carefully reading possible hints from Todd Howard. However, that has all changed now.

According to Reddit user nitsuaztnarf, a serious leak has been uncovered that potentially reveals the setting of Elder Scrolls 6. The Pinterest feed of a Bethesda employee is reportedly filled with inspirational images that strongly suggest Hammerfell will be a significant location in the upcoming RPG.

The Pinterest feed is filled with pictures of clothing and weapons that closely resemble those of the Redguard band encountered in Skyrim. In addition, there are many images depicting desert environments and architecture, which fans believe may hint at Hammerfell being the location for Elder Scrolls 6.

One user expressed their excitement for Hammerfell, stating, “Hammerfell would be amazing.”Another player commented that The Elder Scrolls 4 and 5 were heavily influenced by the Lord of the Rings trilogy and they are hopeful that The Elder Scrolls 6 will draw inspiration from Dune and the Mandalorian.

The Pinterest feed also included images from Denis Villeneuve’s Dune adaptations, which were referenced in a popular Reddit thread and other posts. As these images gained attention, the owner of the Pinterest account has chosen to make it private, leading fans to believe that their theories about the setting of Elder Scrolls 6 are accurate.

Despite players’ speculation, Hammerfell has not been officially confirmed by Bethesda as the setting for Elder Scrolls 6 since its initial reveal. Therefore, it is important to take all of this speculation with a large grain of salt.
