The Elder Scrolls VI: Bethesda Introduces NPC Monetization

Author:Kristen Update:Feb 19,2025

Bethesda Softworks is offering a unique opportunity: a chance to become immortalized in The Elder Scrolls VI. A wealthy bidder will collaborate with Bethesda's developers to design a non-player character (NPC) for the highly anticipated game. This isn't just about aesthetics; the winner will work closely with the creative team to develop a character with significant lore impact. The possibilities are vast, ranging from a humble scholar to a powerful warrior, or even a digital representation of the winner themselves.

The current highest bid stands at $11,050, but with the auction ongoing, this figure is expected to increase. Bethesda remains secretive about the game's release date, adding to the anticipation surrounding this exclusive NPC's debut.

Should the winner choose to immortalize themselves, they'll join Shirley Curry, the celebrated "Skyrim Grandma," whose in-game appearance has been confirmed.

While an official release date is absent, a 2026 launch or later seems probable. However, when The Elder Scrolls VI finally arrives, one lucky fan will leave an enduring mark on its world.
