The Nintendo Switch is only about a week away from launch, and fans are eager to get many games on it, as well as wait eagerly for games that are coming later this year, one of which is going to be The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. This will be the first ever Elder Scrolls game on a Nintendo system, and fans are very happy to have it. Yet, Bethesda won’t say which version they’re getting.
In an interview with Polygon, Todd Howard of Bethesda literally said he “can’t say” which version of Skyrim is coming to the Nintendo Switch this year. This is interesting, as the Special Edition came out last year, and theoretically could work on Switch. Or, something else could be in store for fans, we don’t know.
It’s very possible that the team at Bethesda is simply wanting to ensure the game is done before any true announcements are made, which would fit their M.O.
Regardless, Skyrim should arrive on the Switch later this year.
I am going to bet that this is a good move from their standpoint, financially and all of that, and maybe legally. That said, it sucks for us and I wish we could know.
