The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim could be getting a remastered release

If rumours are true the Dragonborn is to be reborn on Playstation 4 and Xbox One

As ever in the run up to E3 the rumour mill is hard at work and one of the most exciting reports it’s produced is that Bethesda could be working on a remastered Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

The rumours are coming from German website Gamepro who took industry insider Shinobi602’s hint on a recent H.A.M Radio Podcast that we should expect a remastered release from Bethesda and jumped to the fairly logical conclusion that this remaster would be Skyrim. Gamepro’s assumption has, however, been corroborated by NeoGAF user and insider Enter the Dragon Punch who states the game will have improved visuals, all of the post-release DLC included, and will even feature mod support.

Skyrim was one of the most highly praised games on the last generation of consoles and considering the current trend for remastering popular last generation titles, it’s not surprising that Bethesda would want to bring such a beloved game over to Playstation 4 and Xbox One.

Even more significantly, now that mods have been proven to work on current generation consoles with Fallout 4 on Xbox One, the possibilities for customisation in Skyrim are extremely exciting for console gamers who haven’t had the chance to experience them on PC where they have hugely extended player interest.

At the moment this is all conjecture but if it’s true the most likely time we’ll find out is at Bethesda’s annual E3 conference on June 12th.
