It's not set outside of Tamriel - again, we discuss the possibility of this below and again, for us to really narrow it down we need to assume it's somewhere we already know a decent amount about.

For now, let's say the location of the trailer hints at the location of the game.

It's not set in all of Tamriel - it might be (and we'll discuss the possibility of that below), but if we want to even try to narrow it down, we have to at least start with assuming this trailer isn't just a generic mockup of 'somewhere in the continent'.

Let's assume, for the sake of narrowing it down, that the following is true (and that you've watched that teaser trailer, above): Here's why - and bear with us, because we're going way into speculation territory here.ДЇirstly, let's make some assumptions. There's really not a lot to go on here but, if we had to, we'd plant our flag in Hammerfell as the location of The Elder Scrolls 6. Why we think Hammerfell is the location of The Elder Scrolls 6 Other potential Elder Scrolls 6 locations: could it be Elswheyr, Valenwood, Black Marsh or somewhere else in Nirn?.Why the Elder Scolls 6 could be set in all of Tamriel.Why The Elder Scrolls 6 could be set in High Rock.Why we think Hammerfell is the location of The Elder Scrolls 6.

There's also the 2020/21 New Year's Eve teaser tweet from the Elder Scrolls account to consider, although we reckon that's actually a tease for something else, sadly - but you can read what we made of it in (great) depth via that link. It's important to note, however, that Bethesda was acquired by Microsoft, announced on Monday 21st September 2020, and, currently, we don't know if this has had any affect on the development of Elder Scrolls 6.
