Decipheringpotential details from job listingsorcarefully reading possible hints from Todd Howardare all Elder Scrolls 6 hopefuls have had to go on. Until now, that is.
Reddit usernitsuaztnarfhas discovered what they believe is a serious leak that reveals the setting of Elder Scrolls 6. A Bethesda employee’s Pinterest feed is filled with inspirational images that point to Hammerfell playing a major role in the upcoming RPG.
The Pinterest feed itself is jam-packed with images of clothing and weaponry from cultures that are very reminiscent of the Redguard band found in Skyrim. As well as that, there are a number of images of desert locales and architecture that players have taken as further confirmation that Hammerfell will be the setting of Elder Scrolls 6.
“Hammerfell would be so f**king cool,” one user in the threadcommented. “The Elder Scrolls 4 and 5 had a definite influence from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I’m hoping The Elder Scrolls 6 is their answer to Dune and the Mandalorian,” another playerreplied.
The Pinterest feed also featured referential shots from Denis Villeneuve’s Dune adaptations. Since the Reddit thread and other posts referencing these images gained traction,the Pinterest account has been made privateand fans have taken that as further evidence that their guesses about Elder Scrolls 6’s setting are correct.
