It's cool to see Skyrim getting a fresh coat of paint for the Switch 2, especially with those Zelda-themed goodies. Honestly, at this rate, I'll probably be replaying this again before we even get a proper glimpse of TES6.
Honestly, at this point, Skyrim re-releases are a gaming tradition as reliable as the seasons. I'm just happy the Switch 2 upgrade is free for Anniversary owners—that's a solid move while we all wait for the real prize, TES6.
