Description
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Live Another Life, In Another World
The epic fantasy masterpiece from Bethesda Game Studios arrives, reimagined and enhanced for a new generation. Skyrim reimagines the open-world fantasy epic, pushing the gameplay and technology of a virtual world to new heights. Winner of more than 200 Game of the Year Awards, Skyrim invites you to explore a massive world filled with adventure, danger, and discovery around every corner.
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.
Epic Fantasy Reborn
Skyrim reimagines and revolutionizes the open-world fantasy epic, bringing to life a complete virtual world open for you to explore any way you choose. Live another life, in another world.
