Bethesda has announced it’ll be releasing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition this November, celebrating a decade since the original RPG launched in 2011.

Announced during this year’s Quakecon, this latest version includes all the content included in the 2018 Special Edition of the game. However, in addition, the new version will offer over 500 pieces of unique content from the game’s Creation Club. These include pre-existing and new quests, dungeons, bosses, weapons, spells and more.

In fact, three of these pieces will be offered for free without an upgrade to the Anniversary Edition required. These will include Fishing, Survival Mode and new quests with the Saints and Seducers pack. Special Edition owners on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 also get a free upgrade to an enhanced next-gen upgrade. This includes those who have the Special Edition on Xbox Game Pass.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition including all three expansions and 500 pieces of Creation Club content will be available as a standalone package or as a purchasable upgrade to the Special Edition. It launches on November 11, 2021 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC.
