Bethesda Unveils New In-Game Microtransaction: Playable NPCs

Author : Adam Feb 21,2025

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 a significant role in the game's lore. The possibilities are vast, from a learned scholar to a powerful warrior, or even a digital representation of the winner themselves.

Currently, the highest bid for this Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic charity auction sits at $11,050, a figure expected to rise before the auction concludes. Bethesda remains discreet about The Elder Scrolls VI's release date, adding to the anticipation surrounding this exclusive character's debut.

Should the winner choose to create a digital likeness of themselves, they'll join Shirley Curry ("Skyrim Grandma") as one of the few individuals to achieve this unique distinction in the Elder Scrolls universe. While a firm release date is absent, a 2026 launch seems plausible, cementing the lucky winner's legacy within the game's world.
