Back in October, The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim was one of the few games that have been showing running on Nintendo Switch in its reveal trailer. Many expected the game to be among the console's launch titles, but it won't be the case.

Shortly after the end of the Nintendo Switch presentation, Bethesda confirmed that The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim will launch on Nintendo Switch in all regions sometime this Fall. The Switch release will be based on the Special Edition release so it will come with same features seen on the PS4, Xbox One and PC releases from last year.
