Exciting new features include extensive naval combat. Players can design and customize their own ships, echoing the ship customization in Starfield. These vessels will facilitate exploration of coastal areas, undiscovered islands, and underwater environments. Classic elements remain, with the return of dragons upholding the series' legacy.
Expect roughly 12-13 major cities, complemented by systems for establishing and managing settlements and defensive structures. Bethesda's improved Creation Engine aims to reduce loading screens and enhance performance.
Character progression has been streamlined, abandoning rigid class systems for a more adaptable approach that prioritizes organic character development and enhanced combat. This aligns with Bethesda's commitment to player agency and accessibility.
According to the source, Microsoft is aiming for a July 2025 announcement for The Elder Scrolls VI: Hammerfell. While details are still tentative, anticipation is high for this potentially monumental game release.
