The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim’s tenth anniversary edition will be released in less than a month. Many longstanding fans are looking forward to re-playing Skyrim with a new design and a slew of new features that will help set it apart from prior incarnations. One new element included in the 10th anniversary version, though, is unexpectedly funny.
Skyrim has lasted through multiple console generations and has been released on a variety of platforms since its first release in 2011. There’s even a Skyrim special version for Amazon Alexa. In terms of gameplay and in-game content, almost every new version of Skyrim has managed to improve on the previous one, but the 10th anniversary edition includes something truly unique to Skyrim.

Players will be able to personalize their in-game manors with aquariums as part of the Hearthfire DLC, Bethesda said on Twitter. In addition to fish tanks, gamers will be able to mount their caught fish on the wall to display them. This mechanic appears to be comparable to how players could use weapon plaques to install weapons on the walls.
In some ways, Bethesda’s inclusion of a new cosmetic feature like this makes sense. Given the recent update that allows players to fish in-game, it would make sense for the 10th anniversary edition to include a way for players to show off their catches. Players could already exhibit mounted animal heads and other prizes in the Hearthfire DLC, so having the same feature applied to fishing should be just as entertaining.

In any event, it’s incredible to see how popular Skyrim has remained for so long. After first debuting on devices like the Xbox 360 and PS3, Skyrim has made its way onto two successive console generations, alongside games like Grand Theft Auto 5. Only a few other games have managed to maintain their popularity in the gaming world for such a long time.
It will be interesting to see what the Elder Scrolls franchise has in store for the future. Despite the fact that The Elder Scrolls 6 is in development, there has been little to no additional information about the game’s progress. If all goes well, Bethesda will have a lot of content to show fans when the time comes, but that will take a long time.
