Bethesda released a new trailer for The Elder Scrolls Online during The Game Awards today, and it teases a return to one of the fantasy world’s most popular locations: Skyrim.

This is actually the third and final part in a series of cinematics meant to promote the MMO’s Season of the Dragon, but this video ended with the Skyrim reveal. Skyrim was the setting of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the most popular game in the franchise. It has sold over 30 million copies since its release in 2011.
