Fans Convinced The Next Elder Scrolls Will Be Set In Hammerfell

It's been almost 13 years since The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim was released, and fans are patiently waiting for the next iteration of the Bethesda fantasy classic. The long wait has of course sparked a lot of discussion around the setting of the next game, and one location in particular has been causing a buzz.

We don't know much about the next Elder Scrolls game, since Bethesda has kept awfully quiet about the development. But many players have started speculating that the game will be set in Hammerfell.

Elder Scrolls: What is Hammerfell?

Hammerfell is located in the westernmost part of Tamriel. It is a land that is scorched by the sun and full of deserts. It is home to the most fearsome warriors of Tamriel, who survive in this life-threatening climate.

Fans have been going wild in their research, connecting the tiniest dots to conclude that the next Elder Scrolls game will take place in Hammerfell.

Some of this speculation does admittedly feel like fans trying to cope with the fact that we will still have to wait a long time for the next game.

And the wait could be especially long, since sources close to Bethesda have stated that the development for The Elder Scrolls 6 only properly started after the release of Starfield.

But what do you think about all this? Are you eagerly waiting to play The Elder Scrolls 6?
