All Elder Scrolls mainline games have only had one word subtitles, and historically, trademarks for all of those have been registered separately from the main series’ name. Well, for starters, it fits the pattern pretty well. Which is all the information we have, really- but why does that mean it’s an Elder Scrolls name?

ZeniMax, the company that owns Bethesda and all the studios under it, recently filed a trademark for “Redfall”, which, according to the trademark filing, is a “computer game software for use with computers and video game consoles”.

As it turns out, it might actually be accurate. Speculation that the game will be set in the region of Hammerfell has been very common, and only grown even more so as time has gone on. The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced at E3 2018 with nothing more than a short thirty seven second-long teaser trailer, one that showed us very little on surface, but might have actually clued us into some important information about the game.
