Elder Scrolls 6: Bethesda offers fans ‘once-in-a-lifetime opportunity’ via charity auction
Elder Scrolls fans can immortalize themselves in the upcoming RPG
Bethesda Softworks is offering fans the “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” to become an NPC in The Elder Scrolls 6.
The opportunity was shared on Monday as part of a Make-A-Wish charity auction, with the winning bidder able to create their own NPC for the next Elder Scrolls game.
“This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity allows you to immortalize yourself in one of the most highly anticipated video games of all time, The Elder Scrolls VI,” the auction description reads.
“The Elder Scrolls series, developed by Bethesda Game Studios, is renowned for its vast open worlds, deep lore, and immersive storytelling. With this exclusive experience, you’ll work with the developers to create a custom character that will appear in the game, leaving your mark on the legendary franchise.”
The public can bid for the The Elder Scrolls 6 NPC opportunity over on the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic auction page.
The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced at E3 2018 with a brief teaser trailer which confirmed it was in pre-production at Bethesda Game Studios.
Bethesda game director Todd Howard has stated on a number of occasions that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be Bethesda’s next release, followed by Fallout 5.
Asked if he regretted announcing Elder Scrolls 6 so long ago, series director Todd Howard told GQ in 2023: “I have asked myself that a lot. I don’t know. I probably would’ve announced it more casually.”
Commenting on what he’d like to achieve with the game, he said: “It’s like… I don’t want to answer, but I want to be polite. I will say that we want it to fill that role of the ultimate fantasy-world simulator. And there are different ways to accomplish that given the time that has passed.”
