That said, tons of fans are venturing back into the treacherous lands of Skyrim in preparation for the recently-announced sixth entry into the Elder Scrolls series, though it isn’t likely to see release until at least 2020. Everyone and their grandmother has played it at some point… in fact, there is a YouTuber by the name of Shirley Curry who uploads daily videos of herself playing Skyrim, and she’s actually an 82 year old grandmother. Seemingly re-released on more platforms than Capcom’s original Resident Evil title, it would be tough to come across gamers of any kind unfamiliar with the game. The game is something of a high watermark for the genre, and it exemplified Bethesda’s ability to craft a compelling and extremely diverse narrative that could be experienced a near countless number of times without ever feeling repetitive. Swiftly approaching its seventh anniversary, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim still stands as one of the most influential open world RPGs ever to see release.
