A trademark for toys based on the next entry in Bethesda Softworks’ action role-playing game, The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel, has been filed.
According to a listing on Justia Trademarks (via bogorad222 on Twitter/X), ZeniMax Media Inc has filed a trademark application for The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel toys on November 3, 2026, under serial number 50198110. The application covers a variety of merchandise, including toy figures, figure accessories, toy tools, toy weapons, mechanical and electronic action toys, and playsets for action figures.
The filing also mentions handheld units for playing electronic games in the nature of software games, building games, construction toys, soft sculpture toys, playing cards, and party games. This suggests that ZeniMax is seeking trademark protection for an apparently wide range of potential merchandise associated with the upcoming action role-playing game.
The application’s current status is listed as “New Application – Record Initialized Not Assigned To Examiner,” meaning it has not yet been assigned to an examiner for review. It’s unknown whether any of the listed merchandise is currently in production or will eventually reach retail shelves.
The trademark features The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel logo, which was officially revealed on the same day the application was filed during a video celebrating the studio’s 40th anniversary. The announcement came more than eight years after the game was first teased at E3 2018.
The reveal appeared at the end of an anniversary retrospective filmed outside Bethesda, Maryland, where the company originally began. After looking back at the studio’s history, Todd Howard turned his attention to the future, acknowledging that fans frequently ask about The Elder Scrolls VI. He explained that the company’s 40th anniversary felt like the right occasion to finally share the game’s official name.
A release date and platforms for The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel have yet to be announced. Development moved into full production after Bethesda Game Studios finished work on Starfield. Prior reports have also suggested that the studio has been testing internal builds.
