UPDATE: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Creation Kit Out Now

UPDATE: As promised, the Skyrim Creation Kit is now out! The special surprise that Bethesda promised turned out to be a high-res texture pack for the PC version of Skyrim that is also now live. Get all the details for both at the Bethesda Blog and watch the video below for a 15-minute introduction to the powerful Creation Kit tool.

ORIGINAL STORY: Bethesda wasn't kidding when it said coming soon.

According to The Elder Scroll's facebook page, the creation kit will be available to PC players on Tuesday February 7 and it will include a "special surprise". No telling what the surprise is, but I am going to take wild blind-folded stab in the dark and guess that it is a coupon for some free bread sticks to a yet to be determined pizza place.

Click here to find out more about the creation kit, and why it means a whole lot of new content for Skyrim, if you're on PC anyway.

Thanks to Roccondil for the news tip!

Seems like a pretty logical guess. I can tell you put the time/effort into that one.

Feb. 7th is my birthday :D

I'm guessing the surprise is a high res texture pack which I would have mixed feelings about. Would be awesome if it was DX11 support. Tessellation please? At least give us some damn parallax maps.

Calendar set, reminder made.

Awesome. I'm thinking of building a pc just so I can play Bethesda games, since I'm sure they'll kill my PS3 eventually(so much freezing), plus the sweet mods. Does anyone know the minimum specs required to play these games, and maybe how much it will cost to get all that stuff? If not, then that's fine. I don't want a godly pc, just one that can run these games at a good framerate without crashing.

Oh PC, I wish for your greatness to come to consoles someday!!
by Dustin Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 03:09 PM

Thank you. It's about time Bethesda. I've been writing down some ideas for a couple weeks now. Hopefully the creation kit is open-ended and flexible enough for some of the more complex projects I have in mind.

Weird double post!! It even skipped a comment!

woohoo!, who doesnt like freebies? :P

Can't wait to see what the community comes up with when they go to town with this.
by JƟЯDΛИ Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 03:46 PM

i can't wait for the new mods, its gonna be great.
by Matt Mancuso Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 03:51 PM

Oh okay, good to hear PC players get all the Skyrim love as Bethesda continues to shun us PS3 players. I swear I will never buy another Bethesda-developed game on launch ever again...
by The_Tamriel_Drunkard Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 04:01 PM

awwww yeeaahh!
by Night Hawk Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 04:36 PM

Really wish that they would make a console version of the creation kit...
by Allen Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 04:42 PM

Free bread sticks? Hell yeah!
by Donnie Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 04:47 PM

Great, there is already so much great stuff made I can't wait to see what kind of craziness comes out of this. I tried to start a second play through but it's too soon, I still remember all the details of everything I've done so far and repeating it all isn't doing it for me. It will be nice to wait a while and come back to a new experience. At least it won't all be so fresh in my mind and feel like a new adventure.

i wish i was smarter with a computer, in due time. i learn alot of new things daily?)
by Terror Of Death Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 05:26 PM

I'm not surprised that it's Tuesday, it's no secret that Beth is scared of Reckoning.
by FallenAC Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 06:19 PM

I hope on next gen consoles they allow things like this. Mods, creation kits, etc.
by N3gAt1v3-Z3R0 Saturday, February 04, 2012 at 06:47 PM

Well, I don't have Skyrim yet but this might make it for me
