Bethesda Bids Farewell to Skyrim as Focus Shifts to 'Next Adventure'

[Shawn Zipay]

Today, the team at Bethesda took to their blog to bid farewell to development on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. For the past year and a half, the Skyrim team has developed and released a fairly steady stream of content for the game since its release in 2011.

We loved hearing your stories, your in-game triumphs, and your suggestions. One thing stuck out to us through those emails, letters, and postings. And that is – video games matter. They’re as important to you as they are to us. It’s not just about entertainment, it’s about your time. And you chose to spend it with our game.

Thank you again for all your support. We hope you stay engaged in the gaming community here and elsewhere. Keep spreading the word. Games are the world’s best entertainment because they can do what other forms cannot – fill you with the wonder of exploration and the pride of accomplishment. We look forward to sharing our next adventure with you.

As there are still a few outstanding issues remaining in Skyrim, they said that minor updates for the game will continue to be released as needed.
