Former Elder Scrolls designer Michael Kirkbride responds "Yep" to "Sentinel" title speculation

Amid speculation surrounding the apparent eight-character title tease from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma and Bethesda Game Studios, a user on r/TESVI proposed "Sentinel" as the possible title of The Elder Scrolls VI. Michael Kirkbride responded directly to the comment with a single word: "Yep." Kirkbride is a former Bethesda designer, art director, writer and world builder who played an influential creative role in The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard and The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, and later contributed writing to Oblivion and Knights of the Nine. His response immediately attracted attention because "Sentinel" is eight letters and is a major city and kingdom in Hammerfell. Kirkbride has not indicated that his response was based on current inside knowledge, and it should not be treated as confirmation of the game's title.
