It is still unknown how many characters are hidden, but the community has already begun to speculate on what words might stand behind this mysterious designation.
Earlier, there were speculations online that the action of the sixth part would take place in the province of Hammerfell.

The Elder Scrolls VI was first announced at the E3 exhibition in 2018. After several years of waiting, in the summer of 2023, development entered an active phase, and since then the project has been receiving increasing attention from both players and analysts.
According to Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier, there are at least two to three years left until the official release of the game. This timeframe is due to the scale of the project and the studio's desire to ensure a high level of quality characteristic of previous installments in the series.
For fans of The Elder Scrolls, the news of a 'live' playthrough has confirmed that work on the sixth installment is in full swing. Despite the lack of exact dates, anticipation continues to grow, and discussions in online communities only heighten interest in the upcoming release.
Overall, the emergence of the first visual materials and comments from Xbox's top management indicates close cooperation between Microsoft and Bethesda, as well as that the game will be one of the key premieres of future console generations.
