Even though The Elder Scrolls 6 is still several years away, fans would still have to make do with Skyrim whenever they want to play Bethesda's renowned fantasy RPG series. At this point, Skyrim has been around for more than ten years. It's fantastic to see that now that Skyrim Anniversary Edition is available on Nintendo's console, Switch owners can now enjoy community creativity, which does occasionally help make Skyrim feel something new.
