Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Special Edition will launch without one of the original game's most entertaining features.

The Xbox 360 version of Skyrim featured Kinect support for Dragon Shouts, which could be activated by actually shouting the required voice command into the device.

Bethesda's Pete Hines was asked by one Twitter user if voice commands for Dragon Shouts would return in Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Special Edition.

Unfortunately, however, Hines said that the company was "not doing Kinect/voice support", so Xbox One owners with a Kinect unit will have to use the controller to perform Dragon Shouts instead.

It's not surprising Bethesda ditched Dragon Shouts on Xbox One, especially after the Xbox One S launched without a dedicated Kinect port.

In a follow-up tweet, Hines also clarified that the game won't feature new quests, before answering questions about Fallout 4 mods on PS4.

He said: "Until evaluation is done there is no way to give a date. We don't have a date when eval will be done."
