In six years, the founding RPG has broken all kinds of sales records, and even now it’s showing no signs of slowing down. Usually, if a game were re-released six years after its initial launch, not many people would pay much attention to it.

Bethesda really hit the ball out of the room with almost the perfect formula for an open world RPG when they did Skyrim, and since then their design philosophy has influenced all kinds of games and developers, from The Witcher 3 and THE Legend of Zelda To Final fantasy and Dragon age. Beyond that, it even shaped the way we think about open world games and RPGs in general. Since the massive launch of the RPG in 2011, Ancient scrolls went from being a highly respected and beloved franchise to a household name, right there with people like Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto. Tit impacts that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has had on the video game industry since its release six years ago simply cannot be ignored.
