Bethesda is a very self-aware company, and when Todd Howard took to the stage at the Bethesda E3 2018 Press Conference, he knew fans were eager to hear about Fallout 76. He also knew that Skyrim - with its numerous editions some 7 years after its release - had becoming somewhat of a joke prediction for Bethesda’s E3 2018 showcase. So, after making his introduction, Todd did what Todd does best: troll the audience with a fake trailer for a new Skyrim: Very Special Edition, starring none other than Keegan-Michael Key.
Interested gamers can take a look at Bethesda’s fake Skyrim trailer below:
With Skyrim having several editions across both the last generation and current generation of consoles - including the Nintendo Switch and a VR edition - it’s no surprise that even Bethesda couldn’t resist cracking fun about the game’s longevity either. Of course, once Todd Howard had his fun with the misdirection, he did delve into the much more real topic of Fallout 76, making some largely unexpected announcements like the fact that it’ll be an online-focused title. Fans hoping for a new Elder Scrolls announcement, however, will have to make due with the Elder Scrolls Online, Elder Scrolls: Legends, or even the just-announced mobile Elder Scrolls Blades.
