Bethesda announces The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the Nintendo Switch

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was originally released in 2011 and is an open world action role-playing video game that has, since its release, won numerous awards. At Bethesda's E3 event tonight, the firm announced that it would be bringing the title to the Nintendo Switch.

The Nintendo Switch version of the game will offer new gameplay features that take advantage of the console's unique controllers. The Joy-Cons will add a new element to the gameplay by allowing players to use motion controls for fighting, lock picking, and much more. As an added bonus, the game will also offer amiibo support, giving players a chance to unlock outfit and gear from The Legend of Zelda.

Not only will The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim offer the core game, it will also include DLCs: Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn. A release date for the title has not been announced, but Bethesda did state that all of the games shown at the event will be released in 2017.
