Would it really be another year of gaming without a new edition of Skyrim coming out?

News Skyrim Anniversary Edition Has Been Rated For Switch In Taiwan, Sparking Rumours Of A Port
Get ready to play Skyrim, again, maybe
It's a tale as old as time: Some big developer announces that their game is available on "consoles" or "all platforms", and conveniently forgets the 100 million Nintendo Switches floating around the world. At least, that's what happened when Bethesda announced last November that the new Skyrim Anniversary...
Something Oblivion, something new, something Morrowind, something blue
Maybe Bethesda needs some quick cash while they plug away at the new Elder Scrolls game, or maybe they're just trying to capitalise on people getting engaged during the pandemic. Either way, they've just added a new item to their merch website: a 10K Ritual of Mara gold ring...
News Skyrim Still Doesn't Support Mods On Switch So Fans Have Taken Things Into Their Own Hands
"Console modding has often been sort of shady"
A large part of the Skyrim experience on other platforms centres around its Creation Club feature; also supported by Fallout 4, it acts as a way to enhance your gaming with a whole variety of mods and extra content available at the click of a button. The feature was created by the game's developer and...
News It Looks Like Skyrim On Switch Will Never Get Mods Or The Creation Club
"Right now we're doing nothing"

Toto, I don't think we're in Hyrule anymore
What could possibly make the idea of taking a game like Skyrim on the go any better? Throwing in some Zelda-related goodies will probably do it, but how do you get them?

Review The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Switch)
Stay frosty
The dream that, to be fair, probably only a handful of complete weirdos ever truly had, is nevertheless now a reality: with its much-heralded release on Switch, in a DLC-complete edition, it’s now possible to play Skyrim on the toilet. Or, more likely, in bed, or on a train or plane. Or even in the toilet of a train or plane. And so...

Our friends over at Digital Foundry have been stomping around the show floor at Gamescom in search of tasty news, but they perhaps weren't expecting to find one of the Switch's biggest upcoming releases hiding in plain sight.

Amazon makes the Link
When Bethesda showed off the latest Switch trailer for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim during E3 it focused on amiibo support and motion controls, but shied away from giving a formal date.

News New Trailer for Skyrim on Switch Showcases Motion Controls and Link amiibo Support
More than a quick and dirty port
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on Nintendo Switch still only has a 'Fall' release window, but it did feature in Bethesda's E3 press conference.

News Bethesda's Todd Howard "Can't Say" If Skyrim on Switch is the Special Edition
Oh, boy…
It goes without saying at this point but The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is not a new game by any stretch of the word. The original release came out back in 2011, and the game only recently re-entered headlines when Skyrim: Special Edition saw a release this past fall. When it was announced that Skyrim would be coming to Switch, many assumed...
