From the release date to 100-man battles, this is huge.



Bethesda
As ever with leaks, take this one with a pinch of salt, but a bunch of alleged Elder Scrolls 6 details have made their way onto the Internet. First posted on the Elder Scrolls fandom forums, it's a classic case of 'I heard this from a friend who heard it from a friend," but there is some evidence to support the poster's claims, including a picture of an NDA document apparently for the game.
According to the report, the game will be titled 'Redfall' and take place across two locations instead of one, those being Hammerfall and High Rock. Like Skyrim, these areas will be made up of a bunch of factions and cities, each with their own interests.

https://youtu.be/kM7B_xsOpzE

As a result, the focus of the story is the conflict between these houses and parties, essentially taking the Civil War conflict from Skyrim and blowing it out on a much larger scale. To compliment this, Bethesda is apparently focused on building epic battles with dozens, if not hundreds, of NPCs fighting at the same time, a sense of scale that Skyrim could simply not achieve.
Likewise, the open world itself will be the biggest they've ever built, and separated by huge bodies of water. To circumvent this there will be a focus on naval exploration and combat, with players being able to pilot ships, Assassin's Creed style.
The leaker also claims the game has a target release of Q4 2024, which is a long ways off, but not surprising since the developers have made it clear Starfield is the main priority at the moment.

I haven't made it that far into the video, but my friend at work was telling me about it.

I'll be miffed if they end up taking 13 years between entries and can't even be arsed to make it ES 6: Dominion (Elsweyr, Valenwood, Summerset). Still, High Rock / Hammerfell is a good setting for a modern ES game (provided they can shake the Fallout influence that permeated Skyrim's world design and not have High Rock / Hammerfell look like they're about to crumble and fall apart).

2024, huh? That makes a 13 year difference between this and Skyrim. Is that the longest gap ever between (mainline) Elder Scrolls games?

6 years between Daggerfall and Morrowind has been the largest gap until now.

The logo is definitely fan made. It's not intended to be real.

Another tidbit my friend at work told me that I was just reminded about while watching the video: they took tips from CDPR to make cities seem bustling and thriving.

Well don't forget Starfield is the next game Todd and Co. are coming out with. ES6 was always meant to be way down the road.

They should unironically copy Fallout 76 if they want that. It has some fantastic sidequests like The Order of Mysteries.

I predict they streamline it even more. There's going to be five skills - Melee, Magic, Speaking, Thieving and Archery. And 100% radiant questing.

They may as well just make two skills in that case: sneak and archery

I wanted Valenwood as the setting for TES6, but I can't deny that returning to the Iliac Bay with the technology they have now is a great idea. The thing with this leak though is that it just seems too obvious. Makes me think it's fake.

I was holding out hope that it'd be in Elsweyr, but it looked like High Rock from the teaser so I'm not surprised.

Take their time. I'm so disappointed by the way Bethesda has been as of late that the further out it is the hopefully further away from a temporary shitty period that this release will be.

I honestly wouldn't be mad if it got delayed until like 2026. Take notes from DOOM Eternal. Take as long as you need to make sure the game is GOOD!

Let's hope it's just that. You're right about Skyrim already feeling dated even though I enjoyed it, but that's Bethesda for you.

Last major release was Fallout 4 which was 5 years ago now. 76 was handled by a different studio iirc

Hence why I'm so curious about Starfield and TESVI

They've been sinking waaaaay more time into these than they usually do.
