Xbox CEO plays TES6 as Bethesda teases an eight-character title

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma revealed that she attended a live playthrough of The Elder Scrolls VI, writing: "Live playthrough of The Elder Scrolls VI: ******** this morning. The scale and grandeur are incredible. The story is even greater." Bethesda Game Studios then responded directly, saying, "It was great being able to show you ********. Thank you for the kind words and a wonderful visit," notably repeating the same eight asterisks. The community quickly began searching for eight-character possibilities. This ruled out "Hammerfell" being a potential title. Beyond the potential title tease, Sharma's comments provide another significant indication of the game's development progress: Xbox's CEO has now personally watched a live build of TES6 and publicly praised its scale, presentation, and story.
