Xbox CEO sees Elder Scrolls VI live, teases RPG's 'incredible' scale

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma teases the name of The Elder Scrolls VI while providing a quick hype boost for the mysterious game.

Xbox management recently visited Bethesda to see projects like The Elder Scrolls VI in action. It's been over 8 years since TESVI was revealed, and while Bethesda isn't ready to show off the game just yet, that hasn't stopped various high-profile execs from teasing the game.

In a recent post on Twitter, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma briefly talked about TESVI and might have confirmed the game's subtitle has eight letters. "Live playthrough of The Elder Scrolls VI: ******** this morning. The scale and grandeur are incredible. The story is even greater," Sharma said.

Xbox executive Matthew Ball, who also got to see TESVI, echoed Sharma's excitement on Twitter.

Fans have speculated about the subtitle--Sharma put in eight asterisks, which could mean TESVI's title is eight letters. So far, everything that Sharma has said on Twitter has been quite deliberate, so this could in fact mean TESVI's title has eight letters. Another uncertainty is whether or not the title refers to the region where the game is set, like, say, Morrowind, or if it relates to the events in the game, like Oblivion.

The Elder Scrolls VI is believed to take place in Hammerfell, the desert land of the Redguards, or High Rock, the coastal regions of the Bretons.
