Skyrim Special Edition E3 2016 - Riverwood

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim gets an Anniversary Edition on November 11

Bethesda announced during QuakeCon today that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will get an Anniversary Edition on November 11 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Skyrim first launched on November 11, 2011, so this will be the RPG’s 10th anniversary. This new version will include the remastered Special Edition from 2016 along with over 500 elements from Skyrim’s creation club, which curates fan-made content. This includes a mod that adds fishing.

Players who own the Special Edition will be able to upgrade to the Anniversary Edition on both the same platform or on a corresponding next-gen upgrade (like PS4 to PS5).

Skyrim has become one of the most iconic RPGs of all time, selling over 30 million copies (and appearing on just about every platform known to humankind). Bethesda, which is now owned by Microsoft, is working on The Elder Scrolls VI, but that sequel is years away.
