Bethesda is letting players pay to become an NPC in The Elder Scrolls VI

Author : Nora Mar 30,2025

Bethesda Softworks is once again inviting fans into the enchanting world of Tamriel, but this time, it's not just for adventurers. Through a unique charity auction organized by Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic, one fortunate bidder will have the extraordinary opportunity to become a permanent fixture in The Elder Scrolls universe by designing an NPC for The Elder Scrolls VI.

This isn't merely about selecting a name or an appearance. The winner will collaborate closely with Bethesda's creative team to develop a character that could significantly impact the game's lore. Whether envisioning a wandering scholar, a mysterious merchant, or a legendary warrior, the possibilities are vast. The winner might even choose to integrate a digital version of themselves into Tamriel's ever-expanding world.

Currently, the leading bid stands at an impressive $11,050, and with the auction still in progress, this figure is expected to rise. Bethesda has kept details about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date under wraps, leaving fans eagerly anticipating when they'll encounter this exclusive new character.

Should the auction's winner decide to immortalize themselves in The Elder Scrolls VI, they will join the ranks of Shirley Curry, the beloved "Skyrim Grandma," whose likeness has already been confirmed for the game.

With no official launch date announced, it's speculated that The Elder Scrolls VI won't be released before 2026. However, when it does arrive, one lucky fan's legacy will be forever etched into its world.
