Prepare for an epic adventure featuring naval battles! Craft and customize your own ships, exploring coastal regions, hidden islands, and even venturing into underwater realms—a feature reminiscent of Starfield. But don't worry, classic fans: dragons are back, continuing the series' legendary tradition.
Expect around 12-13 major cities to explore, along with robust systems for building and managing settlements and fortifications. Bethesda has also significantly upgraded its Creation Engine, promising reduced loading times and a smoother overall experience.
Character progression has been streamlined. Gone are the rigid class structures; instead, a more flexible system encourages natural growth and improved combat mechanics, offering greater player freedom and accessibility.
According to extas1s, Microsoft is aiming for a July 2025 announcement for The Elder Scrolls VI: Hammerfell. While nothing is confirmed, the anticipation is palpable for what promises to be one of gaming's most significant releases.
