The bulk of the post detailed The Elder Scrolls 6's setting and release year, as well as some other in-depth development information. Aside from The Elder Scrolls 6, the user also allegedly had insider information on Starfield gameplay details, the new IP revealed alongside the new Elder Scrolls game at E3 2018. After the post marinated on the subreddit for several days, this morning it was confirmed as fake by the original poster and corroborated by the subreddit's moderators as well.įive days is still a long time for an alleged leak to remain before it's confirmed fake, so obviously fans ran with it as a potential tease. Posted on r/BethesdaSoftworks last week by a user named ToddIsMyMom (as if that username wasn't red flag enough), the user alleged to have a bevy of information regarding Bethesda's upcoming projects.

As with any Reddit rumor about an unreleased game, the leak was posted without context or evidence, so the 'grain of salt' expression absolutely made sense there. Seemingly too much information that is, which is why the leak was eventually confirmed as faked. While it's obviously important to remain speculative, this most recent leak brought a lot of potential information about the sixth Elder Scrollsgame and highlighted a lot of specific information about the upcoming epic title. The game has remained relatively quiet since the teaser trailer at E3 2018, but recently, there was an interesting leak detailing what could be coming in the next iteration of the series. Especially following up the ever-popular Skyrim, fan anticipation for something that's potentially even bigger or better means expectations are huge. News on the next entry in the franchise has been sparse, which is usually par for the course with Bethesda games. Whenever there's even a hint of what's to come for the next Elder Scrolls game, fans are all over it trying to pick apart what's fake and what's true.
