The Elder Scrolls 6 may finally have a subtitle, with Xbox CEO Asha Sharma appearing to tease the game's official name during a recent visit to Bethesda Game Studios.

Since The Elder Scrolls 6 was first announced in 2018, Bethesda has referred to the project primarily by its numbered title. That could now be changing after Sharma reportedly referred to the game as The Elder Scrolls 6 followed by an eight character subtitle.

The subtitle itself was hidden behind asterisks in Sharma's post, with eight asterisks appearing to represent the length of the name. Bethesda Game Studios later responded to the post, also using the same eight character placeholder while joking about showing the CEO the hidden title.

The exchange has quickly encouraged fans to search for possible names that could fit the clue. One of the most widely discussed possibilities is Sentinel.

Sentinel has already been connected to The Elder Scrolls 6 through various hints and speculation. Former Bethesda developer Michael Kirkbride has seemingly reacted to theories surrounding the name, although no official confirmation has been provided and his involvement does not establish that Sentinel is the actual title.

Additional evidence has also been discovered in Starfield, where Sentinel has reportedly appeared as a potential reference. The possibility has gained further attention because The Elder Scrolls 6 is widely believed to be set in Hammerfell.

Sentinel is particularly interesting because it is the capital city of Hammerfell, while many previous Elder Scrolls games have used locations as part of their titles. This would make Sentinel a fitting name for the next major entry, although Bethesda could also be deliberately encouraging the theory before revealing something completely different.

Another potential title is Starfall, which is the name of the bay located between Hammerfell and High Rock. The possibility is somewhat less convincing because of its similarity to Starfield, but it still fits the apparent eight character clue.

Highrock has also been proposed by fans because of its connection to the region, although the name does not appear to fit the eight character requirement when written as two words.

A different possibility is Dominion, which could reference the Aldmeri Dominion if the faction plays an important role in the game's story. Unlike Sentinel and Starfall, however, Dominion would move away from the location based naming convention commonly associated with the series.

For now, Sentinel and Dominion appear to be among the names receiving the most attention from fans. The exact meaning of the eight asterisks also remains uncertain, as one could potentially represent a space and point toward a two word title.

Bethesda has yet to officially reveal the subtitle of The Elder Scrolls 6, but the recent exchange has given fans one of the first significant clues about what the game could eventually be called.
