This official update arrives just one week after Bethesda unveiled the upcoming RPG's subtitle and logo. Consequently, players eager to see more of the Hammerfell-set adventure will need to keep waiting.
Bethesda Addresses Fan Speculation on Reddit
In a post from its official Reddit account, Bethesda acknowledged the growing rumors surrounding today's date. However, the studio quickly poured cold water on any hopes for an imminent showcase.
"Hey everyone, wanted to pop in to say that we aren't going to have any big announcements tomorrow," the company wrote overnight ahead of November 11. Furthermore, Bethesda stated that while it shares the community's excitement, it will not share anything new on Sentinel for some time.
Naturally, the fan response to this statement has been mixed. Some players thanked the studio for its transparency, while others joked that it could take another eight years before any fresh details appear.
Why November 11 Matters to Elder Scrolls Fans
It is easy to see why the community circled November 11 on their calendars. That exact date marks the original 2011 launch of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on 11/11/11.
Fifteen years after Skyrim debuted, many fans hoped Bethesda might celebrate the milestone with a fresh look at Elder Scrolls VI Sentinel. Unfortunately, the developer made it clear that this anniversary will pass without a major reveal.
Where Elder Scrolls VI Sentinel Stands Right Now
Even though Bethesda first announced the project eight years ago, the road to release remains long. Reports indicate that the upcoming role-playing game is still at least two years away from launch.
In addition, Bethesda has not yet confirmed which platforms will run the game. Questions remain about whether it will launch as an Xbox console exclusive or potentially arrive as an Xbox Helix launch title.
Meanwhile, the long wait has not stopped the company from already selling Sentinel merchandise. For now, though, players must settle for last week's title reveal and wait patiently for more concrete news.
