'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim' Commemorates 15th Anniversary With Celebrations Running All Week

by Rainier on Nov. 11, 2026 @ 9:55 a.m. PST

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim re-imagines the open-world fantasy RPG epic, bringing to life a complete virtual world for you to explore any way you choose.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for Nintendo Switch includes all-new gameplay features like motion controls for combat and lockpicking, outfits and gear from The Legend of Zelda, and additional loot unlocked from compatible The Legend of Zelda amiibo figures. Take down enemies with the Master Sword, protect yourself with the Hylian Shield or look heroic in the Champion's Tunic. Skyrim also includes all official add-ons: Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn.

The High King of Skyrim has been murdered. Alliances form as claims to the throne are made. In the midst of this conflict, a far more dangerous, ancient evil is awakened. Dragons, long lost to the passages of the Elder Scrolls, have returned to Tamriel. The future of Skyrim, even the Empire itself, hangs in the balance as they wait for the prophesized Dragonborn to come; a hero born with the power of The Voice, and the only one who can stand amongst the dragons.

Bethesda Game Studios’ most played game of all-time The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim celebrates 15 years since it first launched on 11/11/11.

To mark the occasion, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Editionis currently available for up to 80% off across all platforms. Fans can also expect a week full of giveaways, community spotlights, and social content, as well as a brand-new curated Creations bundle available to purchase in-game.
