More than 4 years after its last Elder Scrolls 6 teaser, Bethesda officially re-acknowledges the RPG - using the exact same picture we saw in 2018
Six-and-a-half years after we got our first Elder Scrolls 6 teaser we have an official update from Bethesda – and it uses the exact same picture we saw in 2018. Yippee.
Bethesda is working with the Make-A-Wish foundation to raise money for the charity. There's a silent auction that you can bid on to create your very own NPC in the upcoming Elder Scrolls 6. When that game will come out is anybody's guess. The teaser trailer is now older than Skyrim was when it was originally posted.
This should be a very sweet announcement, after all, who doesn't appreciate what Make-A-Wish does? But it's being overshadowed by the fact we've not had any meaningful, Bethesda-driven update on The Elder Scrolls 6 since 2021 when it was teased that the game would be set in Hammerfell – we haven't seen anything else from the game, not even a cinematic.
One Twitter user writes, "Utilizing the same screenshot used for a 5 second teaser 7 years ago, we're so cooked." Another writes, "Will be cool to see them in 2036," joking about how long it's been since we had the last Elder Scrolls game.
Most of the replies are some variation on "Wow, this game is still coming out," or, "I can't believe it's been so long since we got an update for this game."
Former Naughty Dog developer Del Walker did say last year why some games get announced way before they're ready: to attract investors and keen developers. It's a lot easier to hire when people know what it is they'll be working on, but that does leave fans wanting for a lot longer than is comfortable.
If you want a chance to create an NPC in The Elder Scrolls 6, you can visit the Make-A-Wish silent auction page and look for lot 301 – that's the Elder Scrolls one. It's currently up to $10,450, so you'll need to dig deep if you have a chance of winning.
While you're waiting for the next installment in the series, check out our list of the best Elder Scrolls games you can play right now.

4 Things Schools Need To Consider When Designing AI Policies
Artificial intelligence has moved from Silicon Valley boardrooms into homes and classrooms across America. A recent Pew Research Center study reveals that 26% of American teenagers now utilize AI tools for schoolwork—twice the number from two years prior. Many schools are rushing to establish AI policies. The result? Some are creating more confusion than clarity by focusing solely on preventing cheating while ignoring broader educational opportunities AI presents. The challenge shouldn't be about whether to allow AI in schools—it should be about how to design policies that strike a balance between academic integrity and practical preparation for an AI-driven future. Here are four essential considerations for effective school AI policies. 1. Address Teacher AI Use, Not Just Student Restrictions The most significant oversight in current AI policies? They focus almost exclusively on what students can't do while completely ignoring teacher usage. This creates confusion and sends mixed messages to students and families. Most policies spend paragraphs outlining student restrictions, but fail to answer basic questions about educator usage: Can teachers use AI to create lesson plans? Are educators allowed to use AI for generating quiz questions or providing initial feedback on essays? What disclosure requirements exist when teachers use AI-generated content? When schools prohibit students from using AI while allowing teachers unrestricted access, the message becomes hypocritical. Students notice when their teacher presents an AI-generated quiz while simultaneously forbidding them from using AI for research. Parents wonder why their children face strict restrictions while educators operate without clear guidelines. If students are required to disclose AI usage in assignments, teachers should identify when they've used AI for lesson materials. This consistency builds trust and models responsible AI integration. 2. Include Students in AI Policy Development Most AI policies are written by administrators who haven't used ChatGPT for homework or witnessed peer collaboration with AI tools. This top-down approach creates rules that students either ignore or circumvent entirely. When we built AI guidelines for WITY, our AI teen entrepreneurship platform at WIT - Whatever It Takes, we worked directly with students. The result? Policies that teens understand and respect because they helped create them. Students bring critical information about real-world AI use that administrators often miss. They are aware of which platforms their classmates use, how AI supports various subjects, and where current rules create confusion. When students participate in policy creation compliance increases significantly because the rules feel collaborative rather than punitive. 3. Balance AI Guardrails With Innovation Opportunities Many AI policies resemble legal warnings more than educational frameworks. Fear-based language teaches students to view AI as a threat rather than a powerful tool requiring responsible use. Effective policies reframe restrictions as learning opportunities. Instead of "AI cannot write your essays," try "AI can help you brainstorm and organize ideas, but your analysis and voice should drive the final work." Schools that blanket-ban AI usage miss opportunities to prepare students for careers where AI literacy will be essential. AI access can vary dramatically among students. While some students have premium ChatGPT subscriptions and access to the latest tools, others may rely solely on free versions or school-provided resources. Without addressing this gap, AI policies can inadvertently increase educational inequality. 4. Build AI Literacy Into Curriculum and Family Communication In an AI-driven economy, rules alone don't prepare students for a future where AI literacy is necessary. Schools must teach students to think critically about AI outputs, understand the bias in AI systems, and recognize the appropriate applications of AI across different contexts. Parents often feel excluded from AI conversations at school, creating confusion about expectations. This is why schools should explain their AI policies in plain language, provide examples of responsible use, and offer resources for parents who want to support responsible AI use at home. When families understand the educational rationale behind AI integration—including teacher usage and transparency requirements—they become partners in developing responsible use habits rather than obstacles to overcome. AI technology changes rapidly, making static policies obsolete within months. Schools should schedule annual policy reviews that include feedback from students, teachers, and parents about both student and teacher AI usage. AI Policy Assessment Checklist School leaders should evaluate their current policies against these seven criteria: Teacher Guidelines: Do policies clearly state when and how teachers can use AI? Are disclosure requirements consistent between students and educators? Student Input: Have students participated in creating these policies? Do rules reflect actual AI usage patterns among teens? Equity Access: Can all students access the same AI tools, or do policies create advantages for families with premium subscriptions? Family Communication: Can parents easily understand the policies? Are expectations clear for home use? Are there opportunities for workshops for parents? Innovation Balance: Do policies encourage responsible experimentation or only focus on restrictions? Is the school policy focusing on preparing students for the AI-driven workforce? Regular Updates: Is there a scheduled review process as AI technology evolves? Does the school welcome feedback from students, teachers and parents? Skills Development: Do policies include plans for teaching AI literacy alongside restrictions? Who is teaching this class or workshop? Moving Forward: AI Leadership The most effective approach treats students as partners, not adversaries. When teens help create the rules they'll follow, when teachers model responsible usage, and when families understand the educational reasoning behind policies, AI becomes a learning tool rather than a source of conflict. Schools that embrace this collaborative approach will produce graduates who understand how to use AI ethically and effectively—exactly the capabilities tomorrow's economy demands.

Avengers: Doomsday's 'leaked' X-Men design for Nightcrawler is actually just fan art
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. We'll have to wait a bit longer to see the X-Men design for Avengers: Doomsday, because it turns out that a previously 'leaked' image is just fanart. The original artwork was shared by Alan Cumming himself, who plays Nightcrawler and is returning for the next Avengers movie. It appeared to show a picture of his character in costume, but, as one person has debunked on Twitter, the image is actually an edit made by a fan and shared online last year. "Actually, what's great about it, it was four-and-a-half to five hours before, and now it was 90 minutes," Cumming has previously said of his Nightcrawler look. "Before, all the tattoos were done by hand because they hadn't decided on them before we started filming and now there are all these little things that stick on – it's a game changer." Cumming isn't the only X-Men actor returning for Avengers: Doomsday, either. He'll be joined by Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan, Kelsey Grammer, Rebecca Romijn, and James Marsden, as revealed in that bumper sized casting announcement. "[I'm] not quite sure [if Mystique's scenes have all been filmed]. They haven't finished writing it." Romijn said back in July. "They keep everything close to the vest themselves in an effort to keep everything under wraps." That tracks with what Kevin Feige has said about the movie, too: "There's plus-ing happening every day on the Avengers: Doomsday set right now, and it is amazing to watch because what those filmmakers, those actors, both the ones that are playing these characters for the first or second time and the one playing them for the 10th or 12th time, are the best in the world at it, and know these characters so well." Avengers: Doomsday arrives next December. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows for everything else the MCU has in store. Solve the daily Crossword
