Development Ends For Skyrim

Bethesda have confirmed they are moving on to their next adventure and ending the development cycle of Skyrim. That means no more DLC.

Skyrim was a massive hit when it released back in November 2011, with it’s launch seeing 7 million units shipped and an estimated $450 million of sales. As it coincided with the release of Modern Warfare 3 it never managed to reach the number 1 spot on the UK sales charts, but at nearly 18 months after release it impressively remains within the top 20.

There were three sets of DLC for the game: Dawnguard, Dragonborn and Hearthfire. The PS3 versions, however, didn’t appear on the console for quite some time afterwards, which we had a little moan about at the time!

Skyrim received a lot of praise from TSA. Peter scored the game highly in his review, and later Aran went on to share his experience of the game in the 5 part classic of “The Adventures of Strongfury“.

So do you have any stories to share of your adventures on Skyrim, that was of course, before you took an arrow to the knee?

Bethesda has also started teasing its next project with a very brief, looping Vine clip.

  1. Still hoping for Fallout 4… preferably on PS4.

  2. Apparently they’re hoping to get the next game they release finished and playable before putting it on sale.

  3. What a game. Thoroughly enjoyed every one of the 120+ hours put in.

    Always going back to it, it never ceases to be a pleasure.

  4. Absolutely love this game. Bought it back last week to continue my save with the new DLC. Approaching 200 hours and just can’t stop playing it. Please announce Fallout 4 soon as well!!

  5. Still venturing into the world of Skyrim due to mods, shame there will be no more dlc but oh well. Hope that means some great mods are created.
