  Note: Not sure if this goes here, but it seems to fit (If not I'll move it to the Forums)

  So, as we all know, this year is Skyrim's 5th anniversary, well at least this November it will be. Now, while usually I wouldn't say anything, but a recent walk through my local game store reminded me that for the 5th Anniversary of Oblivion we got a special edition, and that made me think...What if they did something similar for Skyrim?

  Now obviously, we haven't gotten the same things post-release with Skyrim (Sadly we're still waiting for Horse Armour DLC) because they didn't do add-ons in the same way. But I was thinking they could still do something, and I think it would be interesting to discuss. So what, if anything do you think Bethesda will do for Skyrim's 5th anniversary?

  Ideas:

  • PS4/XBONE release - 100/10, best idea since cooking meat. 
  • Add in some features from Fallout 4? (Survival Mode, Graphic Update?)

  That could be interesting. I mean, I have an all DLC edition of Skyrim, but that´s just the Legendary Edition. I´d like to see that, like implement things from Frostfall into Skyrim

  I would really like to see a 5th Anniversary Edition of Skyrim, but seeing as though the Legendary Edition already has pretty much all the extra content I could see why they wouldn't make one. Perhaps Bethesda already has a few (smaller) Skyrim Add-Ons that they've been waiting to release in a Skyrim 5th Anniversary Edition? I don't know, it seems doubtful, though it is a possibility.

  It would be so cool to see Beth do something to mark the occasion. At the very least this could be a place to plan or brainstorm how we are going to celebrate?

  Man I would love an anniversary edition. I really hope they do something, but at the same time I'm not going to hold my breath. A survival mode would be fantastic! Maybe incorporating some of the mods like frostfall and the like have already done and making it accessible for console users. Graphic update... swoon. While still a stunning game it is starting to show its age a bit. A refresh would be lovely.

  Mostly I just hope for a release on the current consoles.

  Good thinking! We should definitely give it some thought. It might actually deserve it own thread though.

  I've wondered if they'll announce in E3 a remastered anniversary edition.

  I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I wouldn't bet the Pelagia Farm on it.

  I can actually see a next-gen release happening tbh, anything else is more, I hope this is happening than a semi-logical hope. We already know that they at least made the XBONE port, so it wouldn't surprise me if they made a PS4 one since then (It was...what early 2015 wasn't it?), and then it wouldn't surprise me if they held it back until the 5th anniversary.
