Bethesda Announces In-Game NPC Purchase Option for The Elder Scrolls VI

Bethesda Softworks is offering a unique opportunity: a chance to become immortalized in The Elder Scrolls VI. One lucky bidder, through a Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction, will collaborate with Bethesda's developers to design a non-player character (NPC) for the highly anticipated game.

This isn't just about superficial details; the winner will work closely with the creative team to develop a character with significant influence on the game's lore. From a humble scholar to a powerful warrior, the possibilities are vast. The winner might even see a digital representation of themselves integrated into Tamriel.

The current highest bid is $11,050, but with the auction ongoing, this figure is expected to increase. Bethesda remains secretive about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date, adding to the anticipation surrounding this exclusive collaboration.

Should the winner choose to immortalize themselves, they'll join Shirley Curry ("Skyrim Grandma") as a real-world individual represented in the game.

While an official release date is unavailable, a 2026 release for The Elder Scrolls VI is anticipated. When it finally launches, one fortunate fan will have their mark permanently imprinted on Tamriel's rich history.
