The Elders Scrolls V: Skyrim to get launch day patch

8 November 2011

In news that shouldn’t surprise anybody, Bethesda has confirmed that – yes! – The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will be getting one of those hot launch day patches everybody’s talking about.

“All platforms going to 1.1 by 11/11/11,” the company’s community manager Nick Breckon wrote over on NeoGAF, in response to a query about a launch day patch.

“There’ll be notes when the time comes,” he added later, before vanishing in a puff of magic smoke (presumably, anyway, I wasn’t actually there at the time).

Elsewhere on the downloadable front, here’s a handy reminder that Microsoft and Bethesda made some infernal pact back in August, so the Xbox version gets dibs on the first two DLC add-ons for the game, whatever those are going to be. [James: I hope it’s two sets of horse armour].

“Right now I can say that we’d like to do less DLC but bigger ones – you know, more substantial. The Fallout 3 pace that we did was very chaotic. We did a lot of them – we had two overlapping groups. We don’t know what we’re going to make yet, but we’d like them to be closer to an expansion pack feel,” Bethesda’s Todd Howard told AusGamers.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is out on Friday.
