The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – would you play it all again?

Update:

UK retailer base.com has listed what it describes as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – The Definitive Edition, for release on November 23. There’s no box art though, or any indication that they haven’t just put up the info after hearing about the rumours this week.

However, a Christmas release is now entirely plausible, as Bethesda has recently taken to announcing new games only a few months before they’re released.


Original story:

There won’t be a secret left for E3 at this rate, as new rumours claim to know exactly what new games Bethesda are planning to show on Sunday.



Officially, the only new game Bethesda has on its schedule at the moment is Dishonored 2, which is out this year and clearly not enough to sustain a two-hour long pre-E3 press conference.

But rumours that a revamped version of Prey 2 would also be shown emerged last week, and talk of a remaster of Skyrim have been circling for months.

There’s still no evidence for the Skyrim rumours, but normally reliable insider Shinobi602 has insisted that ‘it’s real’ on forum NeoGAF. Adding that it will include all DLC, improved graphics, and support for mods.

But on top of this Eurogamer speculates that Bethesda will also be showing sequels to The Evil Within and Wolfenstein: The New Order. Although they just appear to be guessing and there’s no evidence for either, beyond the comments from a Wolfenstein voice actor from last year.

Is two games and a remaster (plus Elder Scrolls Online and other existing titles) enough to fill a two hour conference?

Perhaps, but it certainly seems likely that Bethesda will have at least one more announcement to make beyond that, and a new game from MachineGames (makers of Wolfenstein) or Tango Gameworks (makers of The Evil Within) wouldn’t be a surprise.
