About The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the next chapter in Bethesda Game Studios' acclaimed fantasy saga, arriving from the same team behind the 2006 and 2008 Games of the Year. This entry reimagines the open-world fantasy epic, bringing a complete virtual world to life and leaving you free to explore it however you please. It's an RPG built around the idea that the world is yours to wander, from rolling clouds and rugged mountains to bustling cities, lush fields, and ancient dungeons.

True to the series, Skyrim lets you play any type of character you can imagine and do whatever you want, delivering the legendary freedom of choice, storytelling, and adventure that The Elder Scrolls is known for. A new game engine powers this living world, while a reworked character system lets you choose from hundreds of weapons, spells, and abilities and define yourself through your actions rather than rigid classes.

One of the game's signature elements is the return of dragons. You battle ancient dragons unlike any seen before, and as the Dragonborn you can learn their secrets and harness their power for yourself. That combination of boundless freedom and mythic conflict has made Skyrim a defining PC role-playing experience for players who want a fantasy world without limits.
