Rumours that Bethesda is developing an unannounced Elder Scrolls title are being dismissed, after speculation based on a LinkedIn profile was misinterpreted. According to multiple outlets, the story begins with social media and Reddit users drawing conclusions from information they believed pointed to a new project. This interpretation then spreads to gaming websites, amplifying claims that an unannounced game was in development.

Both sources report that the person behind the LinkedIn profile quickly moves to correct the record, stating that the speculation is unfounded and that the supposed “outing” of a new Elder Scrolls project does not hold up. The debunking indicates that the information was either taken out of context or read in a way that was not supported by the original material.

As a result, outlets characterize the circulating claims as bogus and note that no confirmed announcement of an Elder Scrolls game beyond Bethesda’s previously known plans has been provided in connection with the LinkedIn-led rumours.
