Earlier today, Bethesda revealed the latest Elder Scrolls V spinoff titled Skyrim Very Special Edition. Instead of marching through Tamriel through your Switch or PS4, Very Special Edition lets you play the game through your personal assistant, Alexa.
The reveal trailer was obviously a jab at how Bethesda has been porting Skyrim to every single gaming device known to mankind, but it seems like they were actually pretty serious about this. If you’ve ever wanted to play Elder Scrolls V through Alexa, you can actually download a free copy of Skyrim Very Special Edition now on Amazon. The game’s official description reads:
“For the very first time ever, take your rightful place as the Dragonborn of legend (again) and explore Skyrim using the power of your own voice…your Thu’um!
Prepare to:
- Quest and explore the dungeons of Skyrim
- Master your weapons, spells and shouts
- Encounter people who constantly need your help
- Guard your knees against arrows
- Fatally harm mudcrabs
- Fight dragons
- Die
- Fight another dragon
- Eat sweet rolls
- Fus Ro Dah
- Chase butterflies
- Burn spiders
- Walk straight up a mountain instead of going around
- Vanquish malevolent evils
- There’s probably mead somewhere in there
- No goblins, though
- Soul trap woodland creatures
- Victory or Sovngarde, whichever one you prefer
- Also cheese wheels and a fork
- Fail to collect all stones of Barenziah for like the 5th time
- Talk with guards
- Unleash the power of your Thu’um
- Open wooden doors
- Open iron doors
- Other epic things
- And more!”
We’re pretty sure Skyrim Very Special Edition is more than enough to tide us over until Bethesda gets around to releasing Elder Scrolls VI. If you’ve missed it, check out the game’s official trailer below:
