Following the release of yesterday's brief new The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel teaser trailer, story speculation is running rampant across communities dedicated to the fantasy series, with fans theorising everything from alternative histories to split timelines.

Yesterday's teaser - which arrived as part of Bethesda's 40th anniversary celebrations and comes amid devastating cuts across Xbox's first-party studios - was minimal. It opened with a shot of desert sand, before revealing the subtitle 'Sentinel' and ending with a quote from an unknown character. It's not much to go on, but is proving just enough to encourage discussion around what may be in store for Bethesda's next RPG.
