Yet here we are five years later and were thrilled to announce that Skyrim Special Edition has gone gold, and that October 28 launch date is fast-approaching. All the memories fan tributes, Mods, personal stories and even that phenomenon of taking an arrow to the knee feel fresh again. The Special Edition features a significant overhaul to the game, including:
Mod support on consoles
Remastered art and effects
Volumetric lighting (God Rays)
Dynamic Depth of Field
Screen-space reflections
New snow and water shaders
Soon, players will be able experience the game on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 with mods for the very first time, and the Special Edition will include native 4K support for the PlayStation 4 Pro. But whats most exciting to us is that Special Edition also means a new generation of players can create new Skyrim Memories and learn what it means to be Dragonborn for the very first time.
Skyrim Special Edition going gold also marks the first time were celebrating a release as an international studio. We cant say enough about the hard work and love our Montreal studio poured into this project.
Its enough to celebrate with a drink. Pass the mead!
