Skyrim collector's edition revealed

5 August 2011

Concluding a Skyrim demonstration at the Quakecon 2011 event, Bethesda game director Todd Howard revealed the (inevitable) existence of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim collector’s edition.

The collector’s edition will be available for all platforms – PS3, Xbox 360, and Windows PC – and will likely be available for pre-order in our neck of the woods any moment now. Local pricing and quantity availability has yet to be confirmed.

For now, international pricing might give us insight into how much the product will set gamers back. US$149.99 in North America,, €149.99 in Europe, £129.99 in the UK, and A$199.99 in Australia. In a brilliant marketing move that fans will likely find difficult to resist, Bethesda warned that the collector’s edition would only be available in “extremely limited quantities.”

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is scheduled for global release on 11.11.11.

The collector’s edition contains, as per official Bethesda description:

Alduin Statue: Created in conjunction with the IP Factory, this collector’s only statue stands 12” tall and is made of high quality PVC. Modelled from actual in-game 3D digital files, it showcases Alduin, the World Eater. He stands perched atop one the game’s many dragon walls that teach the player the lethal language of dragons.

‘The Art of Skyrim’ Official Art Book: Featuring over 200 pages of striking, full-colour illustrations, sketches and models, this stunning 9 3/8” x 12 1/8” coffee table book showcases the characters, creatures, environments, and weaponry of Skyrim. With a foreword by game director Todd Howard and commentary from Bethesda Game Studios artists, readers will be guided through the game’s iconic visual style.

‘The Making of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’ DVD: This documentary DVD contains exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage, including interviews with the Bethesda Game Studios team as they take you from concept to creation and provide insights into the story, gameplay, setting, legacy of the Elder Scrolls franchise, and much more.
