The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim celebrates its tenth anniversary in November (though it feels like it’s been with us for much longer), with a new Anniversary Edition and next-gen PS5 and Xbox Series X/S enhancements from Bethesda. The Anniversary Edition’s key selling point is that it will include all of the Creation Club add-ons that have been released to date (Creation Club content is considered official by Bethesda, but is developed in conjunction with third parties and modders). There will also be four new Creation Club content, such as fishing mechanics and a range of quests and equipment.
Here’s a little more information on some of the new content that’ll be available alongside the Anniversary Edition…
- Fishing – Skyrim’s all-new Fishing mode allows you to catch over 20 different aquatic species across the many bodies of water in the area. Your capture can be cooked for a meal, displayed as a trophy in your lair, or even kept in your own home aquarium the option is yours! There’s nothing like unwinding on the shoreline as you tackle (pun intended) the questlines in this next free creation, with many of Skyrim’s fishing sites placed in the region’s most stunning and calm spots.
- Players will be able to gain over a dozen new weapons and armors that were originally featured in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind in Ghosts of the Tribunal.
- The Cause — In this quest, players will face the Mythic Dawn, who are attempting to build a new Oblivion gate, and will experience all-new foes, locales, and weapons, as well as a conjurable Daedric horse!
Those who already purchase the Special Edition of Skyrim can upgrade to the Anniversary Edition, but the cost of doing so remains unknown. Regardless of whether you upgrade to the Anniversary Edition, Bethesda will give you four free Creations: fishing, survival mode, the Saints & Seducers storyline, and the Rare Curios gear set.
On November 11, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition will be released on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5. On the same day, a concert celebrating Skyrim’s tenth anniversary will be streamed live.
