Bethesda Softworks is once again inviting fans into the rich tapestry of Tamriel, this time through an exclusive opportunity to leave a lasting mark on The Elder Scrolls universe. In partnership with the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction, one fortunate bidder will have the unique chance to collaborate directly with Bethesda's creative team to design an NPC for the highly anticipated The Elder Scrolls VI.
This isn't just about selecting a name or an appearance; the winner will dive deep into the creative process, working alongside the developers to craft a character with significant influence within the game's lore. Whether envisioning a wandering scholar, a mysterious merchant, or a legendary warrior, the possibilities are vast. The winner could even choose to integrate a digital version of themselves into the expansive world of Tamriel.
Currently, the auction's leading bid is an impressive $11,050, and with the event still in progress, this figure is expected to rise. Amidst this excitement, Bethesda has kept details about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date under wraps, keeping fans eagerly awaiting the moment they'll encounter this specially designed character.

A similar auction previously took place for Starfield, yet the identity of the custom-designed NPC remains undisclosed to the broader public. Should the winner of this current auction decide to immortalize themselves in The Elder Scrolls VI, they will join an elite group, including Shirley Curry, the cherished "Skyrim Grandma," whose likeness has already been secured for the game.
While no official launch date has been announced, it's widely speculated that The Elder Scrolls VI won't see the light of day before 2026. When it does arrive, however, one lucky fan's legacy will be forever woven into the fabric of its world.
