Later this year, you not only can be who you want and do what you want in Bethesda Game Studios’ open-world fantasy epic.

You’ll also be able to take The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim wherever you want – literally – thanks to the Nintendo Switch. This fall, Skyrim will release on the Nintendo Switch, marking the first time a Bethesda Game Studios game is appearing on a Nintendo platform.

“We love to make games and worlds that you can get lost in, that you can make your own, and that you never want to put down,” says Game Director Todd Howard. “Well, now you don’t have to. Now you can play Skyrim wherever you want, and take it on your own adventures.”

Winner of more than 200 Game of the Year Awards, Skyrim casts you in the role of the Dragonborn, the prophesized hero who can harness the power of dragons. With stunning graphics and immersive gameplay, Skyrim delivers legendary freedom of choice – making it a perfect game to appear on Nintendo’s new platform.

“The Switch is both classically Nintendo yet something all new,” Howard says. “We want to thank them for letting us be a part of it.”
