Typically when a game is re-released for an anniversary, it features something that makes it worthwhile. There are people without a doubt excited for another iteration of Skyrim. Bethesda has found the real secret to success in the world of gamedev: release the same game over and over for ten years. We can probably surmise that the Skyrim Anniversary Edition won’t cost more than the current iteration of the game. The price hasn’t been released yet, but the Skyrim Special Edition was selling for 35 bucks on Amazon for Playstation 4. The launch date makes sense at least, as the original came out on 11/11/11.

On top of that, if you own it on Playstation 5 and/or Xbox Series X|S, they will receive a free upgrade to an enhanced version on launch date – November 11th, 2021. This will grant users three pieces of Creation Club content: Fishing, Survival Mode, and new quests – Saints and Seducers. This means even if you own it through Xbox Game Pass. However, owners of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition on any platform do receive some “free content”. It’s also going to have “over 500 unique pieces of content from Creation Club such as quests, dungeons, bosses, weapons, spells.” That is quite a lot of content, at least. It’s going to come with all three DLC drops Dragonborn, Dawnguard, and Hearthfire. If it wasn’t in the Skyrim Special Edition, the answer is a resounding “no”. Is it going to feature bug fixes? Updated graphics? 4K upscaling? Well perhaps that, on PS5/Xbox Series X|S. I’ve never been less excited about Skyrim, especially this Anniversary Edition.
