It’s Monday morning and I’ve had too much coffee, not enough sleep, and for neither the first nor the last time, Bethesda may or may not have just teased something about The Elder Scrolls 6. Here we go again!
This time, the tease in question is especially small: overnight after Xbox’s big E3 showcase, someone trawled through Bethesda’s new Starfield trailer, frame-by-frame, and found a tiny shape etched onto the interior of the spaceship – which they think looks like the location of The Elder Scrolls 6. Here’s the image, with credit to u/Huhwtfbleh on reddit, who discovered it:
And here’s a picture of the actual frame for reference – the little etching is about the size of the protagonist’s thumbnail.
And finally, here’s an image from another user in the thread, which they claim to have “AI upscaled”.
It does look a bit like it, doesn’t it? Annoyingly like it – and annoyingly not exactly like it. Exactly enough to get people wondering and exactly not enough for people to be certain. The perfect tease! The thing is though, like any good, conspiratorial fan theory, all of this is based on assumptions, and all of it could amount to nothing.
