Good news for fans of a classic RPG. At QuakeCon 2021, Bethesda announced the arrival of The Elder Scrolls 5 – Skyrim Anniversary Edition, which celebrates the game’s tenth anniversary. The title will release on November 11, 2021 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
This edition of the game will include all the content from the “Special Edition” (2016) and over 500 unique Creation Club elements (dungeons, quests, bosses, spells, armor, etc.). Those who already have the old version can upgrade to the Anniversary Edition for free if they wish.
In addition, users who have the “Special Edition” on PS4 and Xbox One and want the PS5 and Xbox Series ports of “Special Edition” will also get them free of charge.
The Elder Scrolls 5 – Skyrim Anniversary Edition – What Is Special About It?
The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Anniversary Edition is another version of one of the greatest RPGs in the history, releasing on its 10th birthday. Later this year, the production will hit the market, mainly for the new generation PS5 and Xbox Series X / S consoles. Although owners of PC, PS4, and Xbox One will also have access to the title, this time, the developers omitted Switch.
What does this edition even contain?
The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Anniversary Edition includes, of course, the full version of the game with all the improvements that went to the 2016 Special Edition. The player has access to three significant expansions Dragonborn, Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and many minor additions. The most important novelty is the content of the Creation Club – you will have access to over 500 materials, including new quests, dungeons, bosses, spells, and other elements.
