Bethesda has made it clear that we are not going to receive any further updates on The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel for a while, with the studio once again going quiet after the game’s title and setting were confirmed earlier this month.
What we get, however, is more Skyrim. Today, November 11, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is celebrating its 15th anniversary – and it’s a big milestone.
Skyrim is widely considered one of the greatest games of all time and remains a model of the RPG genre. As such, Bethesda has had little to worry about the game’s longevity; it continues to be adored by fans, although that adoration is enhanced by the new life breathed into the game via Skyrimthe modding community.
That didn’t stop Bethesda from milking Skyrim for all it’s worth, with countless remasters, re-releases and ports having surfaced over the years.
To celebrate SkyrimMarking the game’s 15th anniversary, it’s now confirmed that we’ll be getting another remaster, but instead of the base game getting an overhaul, this time it’s the turn of the game’s iconic soundtrack.

Laced Records has officially announced The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim OSTa specially remastered version of the game’s original soundtrack scheduled for launch in 2027.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim OST will be available for purchase on vinyl and CD, although pre-orders are not yet open, so we don’t have exact details on how many variants we can expect, or how much they are expected to cost.
It’s a bit strange that the remastering of the soundtrack is planned for 2027. Bethesda and Laced have clearly planned this project. Skyrimthe 15th anniversary of in mind; the occasion is hardly a surprise, so one has to wonder why the finished album wasn’t ready for today.
Maybe we are greedy. They say you should never look a offered horse in the mouth, and the promise of a remastered version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim OST is a lovely little way to celebrate this birthday.

Bethesda also scored Skyrimwith a rather disappointing tweet
It doesn’t look like anything else is particularly on the way, but we’re not sure, so take our predictions with a pinch of salt.
Our doubt comes from the fact that Bethesda has already commented on this anniversary, speaking to X (formerly Twitter) to write: “On this day, 15 years ago The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released. Since that day, the community has continued to grow into something truly special. Thank you for being part of it. This magnificent work of art was created by legendary artist Karl Fitzgerald to mark the occasion.”
We wish we could say that the responses are full of fans sharing their fondest memories of Skyrimbut these are mainly complaints about the continuing secrecy surrounding Sentinel despite the recent title reveal.
“Fun fact: Skyrim will be released on the next generation Xbox before Sentinel outings,” one fan responded.
Another added: “The community is so special, let them starve for 17-18 years to have a follow-up game.”
Sentinel cannot be a true copy of Skyrim as times and expectations have changed. We certainly hope it matches the quality of this previous release, while still doing it in its own way.
