November is set to be a big month for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, as it will be coming to two very different platforms. We learned recently that it will be coming to Nintendo Switch on November 17th, but today it was announced that the VR version for PS VR will be coming the same day on November 17th.
Just as it sounds, Skyrim VR will allow users to put on their PS VR headsets and truly step into the world of Skyrim like never before. There won’t be any new features added to the game with this version, but that hardly matters when players will have this truly massive world to explore. For those of you who have never played Skyrim before, the following is a plot overview:
“Two hundred years have passed since the events of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and it is now 4E 201. The High King of Skyrim has been killed, and the threat of Civil War looms over the land of Skyrim; One side wishes to secede from the weakened Third Empire, while the other wishes to remain a part of it. To make matters worse, this schism is the final event in a prophecy foretold by the Elder Scrolls that will lead to the return of the dragons under Alduin, the Nordic god of destruction.
The player starts the game on a cart heading for the chopping block after being caught with the Stormcloaks in an ambush by the Imperial Legion. As the player lays their head on the chopping block, the dragon Alduin attacks. In the midst of the chaos, Hadvar, several Stormcloaks, along with their leader and fellow prisoner, Ulfric Stormcloak, assist in the player’s escape. The player may choose between the assistance of Ralof, the Stormcloak who arrived with Ulfric, or Hadvar, the Imperial soldier tasked with reading off the names of the prisoners being sent to their execution. After assisting and gaining the favor of Jarl Balgruuf the Greater, The player later learns that he/she is Dovahkiin, or Dragonborn, a person charged with the duty of defeating Alduin and the dragons. Eventually, the player meets Delphine, and Esbern, two of the last remaining Blades, and becomes the pupil of the esteemed Greybeards of High Hrothgar.”
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has definitely become one of the most beloved games of recent memory, with many calling it the best of the series and one of the best open world RPGs of all time. This has of course resulted in many wondering when the next game in the series might be released, but details on that have been very slim from Bethesda. However, you can be sure to find more information here as soon as it becomes available.
