If you've been paying attention to Game Gauntlet, the category in which our readers decide the best game of all time, you may have noticed that one of the contenders was an unstoppable force – The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. She nuked Fallout 3, completely destroyed Final Fantasy VII, severed the Elden Ring (without using Spirit Ash), and survived the hordes of The Last of Us. Skyrim was a groundbreaking open-world adventure when it was first released, and fans have clearly had a lot to love over the 13 years since then until now, so it's no surprise that the gaming community has been clamoring for news about a sequel for years now. Fortunately, we've got a little update for fans who need something to keep them comfortable for a little longer.
