The exact release date is 11.11.11 or November 11, 2011.

The game was officially announced on Dec 13, 2010 at Spike TV’s Video Game Awards but I believe it has been in development for several years already (Oblivion was developed for 4 years).  They were just quiet about it because The Elder Scrolls franchise is such a big hit that Skyrim might overshadow Bethesda’s other games Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. haha

The titular place, Skyrim is the northernmost province of Tamriel, and is a cold and mountainous region inhabited mostly by the human race of Nords. The game is set 200 years after the events in TES IV: Oblivion.

I haven’t finished any Elder Scrolls title yet. I’m a hardcore RPG gamer that checks every little nook and cranny but that just isn’t possible with Elder Scrolls titles because it will take me forever. The games are massive, open-ended, do-what-you-want worlds. Anyway, I’m just excited that the release date was revealed on the announcement day itself. Epic date, epic gameplay, epic graphics, epic game. Looks like we have the RPG of the year or Game of the Year here.

I don’t know much about the The Elder Scrolls lore so I find the trailer cryptic but good nonetheless. The announcement trailer didn’t include actual gameplay but that’s ok. It just means that they put extra effort in making the cinematics. The wall in the video is an actual structure in the game, a small part of Alduin’s Wall depicting a prophecy about the return of the dragon Alduin. GameInformer has a detailed coverage on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and the Alduin’s Wall.

You should have acted.
They’re already here.
The Elder Scrolls told of their return.
Their defeat was merely a delay…
…to the time after Oblivion opened…
…when the Sons of Skyrim would spill their own blood.
But no one wanted to believe–
believe they even existed.
And when the truth finally dawns,
it dawns in fire.
But…
…there’s one they fear.
In their tongue, he is “Dovahkiin.”
Dragonborn!

Big news for Bioware fans like me. Even though I didn’t play the original Mass Effect, I know that it is of excellent quality. Bioware is after all the master of PC RPGs.

My only complaint is that they didn’t space out the release dates of these two high-quality RPGs. Dragon Age: Origins is barely 3 months old and yet they released another excellent game of the same genre. I’m pretty sure players haven’t fully recovered from the mass Dragon Age effect yet.

Maybe Electronic Arts is to blame for this, being the greedy money-hoarding publisher that they are.  Even now you can see dollar signs on their eyes because some time in March the expansion to Dragon Age: Origins, Awakening will be released. Slow down please!
