The Elder Scrolls 6 the release date may be years past, but it looks like Bethesda Game Studios may have just teased the gameplay setup that is supposed to come on PS5, Xbox Series X and PC. While the next installment in The Elder Scrolls series was announced in 2018, we actually know nothing about the game. However, with Twitter and via the official account for the series, Bethesda may have let us know where the next game players can take.
The post, wishing its followers a happy new year, is apparently pretty innocent, but it comes with a map of Skyrim and the caption ‘transcribe the past and map the future’. Again, on the surface it does not look much like this, but there are also strange lights on the map. One of these lights is on Solitude, the capital of Skyrim. The second appears slightly off the map, indicating that its placement has no meaning. The third, however, is in the neighboring region, Hammerfell.
As you may know, the current speculation – fueled in part by rumors and leaks – is that the next game will take place, at least in part, in Hammerfell, making these seemingly random lights a bit suspicious.

Take everything here for now with a massive grain of salt, because it’s all just speculation. However, fans of Reddit pointed out the above observations and how the combination of the caption, the map, the lights and the implied places is at least interesting and suspicious.
Bethesda did not comment on any of these speculations at the time of publication. If it’s a real annoyance, it can not change. However, if this is just unfounded speculation, chances are Bethesda could bump it up. If that happens, we’ll probably update the story.
