Skyrim: Anniversary Edition Gets Another Surprise Release

gamerant.com:

Skyrim: Anniversary Edition launches for the Epic Games Store. One of the most prominent video gaming memes throughout the 2010s was about how Skyrim was being re-released on every possible platform Bethesda could think of. There's even a version of the game on Amazon Alexa, so it wasn't exactly like the gaming community came up with this meme out of thin air. Even over a decade after Skyrim first launched, the fifth Elder Scrolls game is still seemingly finding new life on more platforms.

Recently, Skyrim: Anniversary Edition made its way to the Nintendo Switch. Previously, Skyrim had been available for the Switch, but the Anniversary Edition that released last year contained some new content for even those who ventured through the land of the Nords way back in 2011. Also, for those who don't want to buy the DLCs for Skyrim, the Anniversary Edition contains the Hearthfire, Dawnguard, and Dragonborn content as well.

Now, Skyrim: Anniversary Edition has launched for the Epic Games Store as well. Another platform on PC, the Epic Games Store has risen to be a competitor with Steam in the eyes of many due to the consistent deals and free games it offers. Unfortunately, Skyrim: Anniversary Edition was not listed as the free title on the Epic Games Store this week, and is currently priced at $50. For those that already own some form of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, the upgrade price will be $20.

Despite many fans stating that they are getting tired of the constant re-releases of Skyrim, Bethesda has made statements regarding the launching of the game on more platforms. In 2018, Todd Howard remarked that the company will keep re-releasing Skyrim so long
