Skyrim Special Edition Announced
The rumors are true, Skyrim is getting a makeover. Bethesda's massive, epic-scale role-playing game is getting a Special Edition for the current gen, announced at Bethesda's press conference at E3 2016.
Visual upgrades were showcased, comparing last-gen consoles to how things look on current-gen consoles (PlayStation 4, Xbox One) with the Special Edition – it's an impressive shift. Special Edition will include mod support.
Screen space reflections, snow, water shaders, and a slew of other eye-candy upgrades were also on display. It'll be out on October 28 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
