Dat The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim een hele vette game is hoef ik niemand te vertellen, want deze titel verkoopt zichzelf bijna letterlijk. Volgens de eerste cijfers van Bethesda is de game in de eerste 48 uur maar liefst 3.5 miljoen keer verkocht. Dus een nieuw deel zal er zeker gaan komen, en eerlijk gezegd lijkt me dat een zeer goed idee.

"More than 50% of launch units were sold in the first 48 hours and Bethesda Softworks has been receiving large reorders from major retailers in North America, and across Europe and Australia," stated the company. "Online activity has been notable, with Steam reporting that in the first 24 hours of its release, Skyrim set a record with over 280,000 concurrent players, far outdistancing all other titles.

"The eagerly-awaited title has garnered more than 50 perfect review scores, earning praise from some of the industry's most influential and respected critics including: USA Today, G4TV, GameSpy, Wired, Eurogamer, Destructoid, GamePro, Official Xbox Magazine, Joystiq, The Guardian, and GamesRadar."
