UPDATE: Bethesda has just announced that the beloved RPG The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is now available on the new Nintendo Switch 2 for $59.99 / £52.99. In an exclusive interview with Nintendo Life, Bethesda’s creative director, Matt Carofano, revealed that the porting process was “really easy,” marking yet another milestone for the long-lasting title.
Shadowdropped onto the platform, this latest release continues Skyrim’s legacy of appearing on virtually every gaming console since its original launch. Carofano, who also led the original Skyrim’s art team, explained that the switch to the new console was seamless due to prior experience with the original Switch version. “It was really an easy development process and actually pretty quick in terms of our timelines,” he noted.
Why does this matter now? The Switch 2 features enhanced hardware capabilities, allowing the game to utilize DLSS technology for improved resolution and performance. Players can expect faster load times and enhanced graphics, making this portable version more appealing than ever. The addition of Joy-Con 2 controllers enables mouse control, providing a fresh gameplay experience.
While some gamers may find the price steep compared to other platforms, Carofano emphasized the importance of delivering the best version of Skyrim. “We want everyone to be able to play it in the best way possible,” he stated, acknowledging the ongoing humor surrounding the game’s frequent re-releases.
The Skyrim Anniversary Edition’s arrival on the Switch 2 solidifies its status as a gaming staple, even after 14 years. As the gaming community buzzes about this latest development, the question remains: will this version attract a new generation of players or entice veterans to revisit the snowy landscapes of Tamriel?
Stay tuned for further updates as Bethesda continues to enhance their portfolio on the Nintendo Switch 2. The combination of nostalgia and modern technology could redefine how gamers experience this iconic title.
