After Skyrim: Anniversary Edition was announced, many fans were sharing a memeified version of a classic quotation saying "And Todd Howard wept, seeing as he had no more places to port Skyrim," but it seems as if Bethesda found one more place for the beloved RPG to live on in a tabletop board game that was announced earlier today. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - the Adventure Game is a reimaging of the game played in a TTRPG fashion made by Modiphius Entertainment that includes extended lore and a prequel story to the main quest of Skyrim.

Revealed in an interview with Polygon, Modiphius Entertainment game designer Juan Echenique said that the first campaign that players will experience is a story set 25 years before the events of Skyrim's main quest. Players can expect to run into several familiar faces from the original game, but they'll be much younger due to the prequel nature of the story.

The second campaign starts just before the Dragonborn is discovered and ends after they've arrived meaning that players will be viewing the events of the game in a new perspective as the Dragonborn is an NPC in Skyrim - the Adventure Game. Eventually, players will "cross paths with" the Dragonborn but it's unclear when that will happen during the events of the main quest.

There hasn't been a deep dive into the narrative elements of the game's two major campaigns yet, but, based on the information above, Skyrim - the Adventure Game seems to be offering a fresh take on the events of Skryim which have been experienced over and over again with the many different editions that have been published over the years. With over 600 cards in its deck, however, the game might seem a little overwhelming for anyone jumping in blind, but its lengthy campaigns aren't the only way to play it as it can also be experienced in smaller one-off increments.

In addition to the tabletop game, Skyrim: Anniversary Edition is another anticipated release for The Elder Scrolls 5 as it's adding plenty of new content to the base game. Many of the new additions are coming in the form of the Creation Club meaning that the new version feels like a celebration of Skyrim's community and seems to be a way for Bethesda to be giving back to the fans that made it the gaming touchstone that it is.

Skyrim: Anniversary Edition launches on November 11, 2021, for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
