ZeniMax kept its cards close to its chest about what it wanted 'Redfall' for, however, E3 2021 has seemingly put the story to bed. It led to a court battle with author Jay Falconer, who was furious that the trademark could destroy his book series of the same name.

The only bit of truth in the whole sordid saga was ZeniMax media trademarking 'Redfall'. If The Elder Scrolls 6 is out there, it would almost certainly be an Xbox exclusive and would give the PlayStation rival another piece on the gaming chessboard. There was one problem - none of it was real.Įven though Redfall comes from a different studio, there are parallels between Arkane and Bethesda both being part of ZeniMax Media, the umbrella company's acquisition by Microsoft, and the fact Starfield and Redfall will be Xbox exclusives (for now). Alongside details about new locations and a crafting overhaul, ToddIsMyMum even created a fake NDA takedown that was reportedly from Bethesda for 'leaking' details on its long-awaited game.

There was a lengthy post on the r/BethesdaSoftworks subreddit, and with The Elder Scrolls 6: Redfall taking off, Elder Scrolls fandom flooded the World Wide Web with theory videos jumping on the Redfall hype. It was all backed up by redditor u/ToddIsMyMum, who claimed to have 'exclusive' insider information. Possibly focussing on the Redguard race and their home of Hammerfell, it was a perfectly plausible idea that started doing the rounds when Bethesda trademarked the world 'Redfall'. In 2019, the internet exploded with the idea that The Elder Scrolls 6 would officially have the subtitle of Redfall. The most credible TES VI leak you’ve never heard of.
