Todd Howard, you've done it again!

A game called The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was first released back in 2011 for the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Perhaps you've heard of it? I doubt you have because it was such a small release from a relatively unknown developer named Bethesda. If you have heard of it, perhaps you also know that it was re-released in 2016 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but not before getting a Legendary Edition release in 2013. Yeah, it's true! It then came out again in 2017 for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation VR. A PC release of the VR version came out in 2018, along with a release for the Amazon Alexa. Now? Now, it's coming out for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

First off, Bethesda says that current and existing owners of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition will get access to three free pieces of Creation Club content: Fishing, Survival Mode, and new quests via Saints and Seducers. In addition, Skyrim Special Edition owners on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S (plus Game Pass subs) will get a free upgrade to an even more enhanced edition on November 11th.

On November 11, 2021, Bethesda will release the "most definitive version of Skyrim to date." This release includes the three previously mentioned Creation Club items, plus the full game, plus all three expansions, plus "over 500 pieces of unique content from Creation Club, including pre-existing and new quests, dungeons, bosses, weapons, spells, and more."

Bethesda notes that owners of Skyrim Special Edition and Xbox Game Pass subscribers will get the option to purchase the Anniversary Edition upgrade to gain access to the additional content.
