The Xbox Wire press release on the name is literally just a picture of the logo.I reported in Notepad last week that Bethesda was planning to name the game in November, during a period that will mark 15 years since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released. Sentinel will be set in Hammerfell, a province in the Elder Scrolls universe that’s appeared in The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard and The Elder Scrolls Online. Sentinel will be the first game about the history of the Elder Scrolls, and help uncover the secrets of these mysterious ancient artifacts.Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Tom WarrenThe Verge DailyA free daily digest of the news that matters most.Email (required)By providing your information, you agree to our Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.
