Exciting new features include extensive naval combat. Players can construct and customize their own ships, echoing the ship customization seen in Starfield. These vessels will facilitate exploration of coastal areas, undiscovered islands, and underwater environments. Classic fans will be pleased to know dragons are returning, upholding the series' iconic legacy.

The game world will reportedly boast 12-13 major cities, accompanied by systems for building and managing settlements and defensive structures. Bethesda's revamped Creation Engine promises reduced loading screens and enhanced performance.

Character progression has undergone a simplification, moving away from strict class systems towards a more adaptable system focused on organic character development and refined combat. This change reflects Bethesda's commitment to increased player agency and accessibility.

According to insider information, Microsoft aims for a July 2025 announcement of The Elder Scrolls VI: Hammerfell. Although plans are subject to change, anticipation remains high amongst fans for this potentially monumental game release.
