11/11/11 This date will forever be remembered in our industry as a truly breakthrough day, because it was then, 12 years ago, that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim debuted on the market.
Bethesda Game Studios has produced a lot of outstanding productions, but to this day the fifth installment of The Elder Scrolls, titled Skyrim, is the best of them. The title debuting on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC received an average rating of as much as 96% and became a real quality benchmark for subsequent open-world RPG games.
Bethesda’s work has long been unrivaled in terms of exploration, freedom of gameplay and, of course, world creation. The plot itself may not have been very impressive, but it could be considered even bearable. We all love the music from Skyrim, and the title itself has given the industry so many iconic scenes that it’s hard to count them on both hands. Today Skyrim turns 12 years old and it’s still on top. Do you think TES VI will surpass the legend from 2011?
A very happy 12th birthday of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Thanks for 12 years of magical adventures and exploration.
