A new discovery in Starfield has fueled rumors that the upcoming The Elder Scrolls 6 may be titled Sentinel. Players have identified a specific sequence of numbers in the game's character creation menu that translates to the eight-letter word, aligning with internal comments regarding the game's scale.
Evidence for the 'Sentinel' Title
The speculation stems from a numeric string found during character creation in Starfield: 190514-2009140512. When divided into pairs and converted to their corresponding letters in the alphabet, the sequence spells out S-E-N-T-I-N-E-L.
This theory is bolstered by recent comments from Bethesda CEO Asha Sharma. During a recent visit to the Maryland office, Sharma observed a playthrough of The Elder Scrolls 6 and referred to the game's subtitle using eight asterisks. Sentinel fits this character count perfectly.
Why 'Sentinel' Remains a Rumor
While the evidence suggests a link, the title remains unconfirmed. The name Sentinel carries significance within the series lore, as it is the name of a prominent city and kingdom on the Iliac Bay. Naming the game after a city would serve as a structural nod to The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall. Additionally, the project's reported internal codename, Guardian, is a direct synonym for Sentinel.
