Exciting new features include extensive naval combat. Players can construct and customize their own ships, echoing the ship customization in Starfield. These vessels will facilitate exploration of coastal areas, undiscovered islands, and underwater environments. Classic elements return as well, with the iconic dragons making a comeback.
Expect approximately 12-13 major cities, alongside comprehensive systems for building and managing settlements and defensive structures. Bethesda's improved Creation Engine promises reduced loading screens and enhanced performance.
Character progression receives a streamlined approach, abandoning rigid class systems for a more adaptable system that promotes organic character development and refined combat. This change reflects Bethesda's commitment to increased player agency and accessibility.
According to these reports, Microsoft aims for a July 2025 announcement for The Elder Scrolls VI: Hammerfell. While details remain tentative, anticipation remains high for this potentially monumental gaming release.
