[UPDATE: The supposed leaker has now stated that the NDA he provided was fake and that the following information is not true. In his comment, the leaker apologizes for faking this Elder Scrolls 6 leak. Original story follows.]

When it comes to big titles in the gaming industry, video game leaks should be taken with a massive grain of salt. This is often obvious because the leaker provides no proof as to his or her authenticity, but the latest Elder Scrolls 6 leak does just that. It should still be taken with some skepticism, but it's clearly no run-of-the-mill Elder Scrolls 6 rumor or leak.

In response to another user (and then submitted to the moderator of the Subreddit), the aforementioned leaker provides a NDA proving he or she was sworn to silence over The Elder Scrolls 6. Now, this could have been faked, but the response time is reportedly incredibly quick making that seem less likely. Things are also still subject to change and the leaker said this information came as a result of the ongoing pandemic, so with that said, here's what the leaker had to say.

Titled The Elder Scrolls 6: Redfall, it will take place in both High Rock and Hammerfell, set six years after Skyrim. Hammerfell is a relatively well-off nation, at least in comparison to the rest of Tamriel. High Rock is more fractured with subregions warring against each other. This is designed to lead to "huge, epic battle scenes with dozens, if not hundreds" of characters duking it out on screen, which was particularly design to support the Orcs' war with High Rock. Apparently, Orcs will charge down a mountain and pillage a city known as Jehanna at some point during the main story.

The Direnni Tower is a main part of the core questline, being compared to the White-Gold Tower in Oblivion, with the climax of the story taking place on the Isle of Balfiera. Ship travel exists in the game as such, which is built off Starfield's vehicle mechanics. Several different ships including a rowboat to a pirate ship offer light customization and can be crewed by NPCs. Daggerfall is said to be "the biggest city Bethesda has ever built."

Unique quests are said to be a priority, with the leaker detailing a side quest about baby sitting a trio of Khajit children who go haywire without their mother. It's still in the conceptual stages but are reportedly rude, wreck the house, and kill and eat a skeever. The mother returns upset, and Elder Scrolls 6 players can either calm her down or engage her in combat. The latter option puts the kittens in the nearby orphanage.

Finally, the Elder Scrolls 6 leaker states it'll release in Q4 2024, with a DLC planned on Stros M'kai. His final comment is that Starfield will release in 2021, with this reportedly being all the leaker knows. There a few spots that raise eyebrows, such as how the Thalmor-besieged Hammerfell is so stable and how concepts for a DLC could exist so early, but as far as leaks go, it seemingly has better credentials than most.

The Elder Scrolls 6 is in development.
