There’s a Legendary version of Skyrim coming to PC and consoles

At the beginning of this week Bethesda announced that they were done with Skyrim. The development team is leaving the game behind and moving on to their “biggest and best work yet.” In other words, the original game and three major DLC packs are all we are going to see from this Bethesda title.
That may come as a disappointment for some Skyrim fans, but for anyone who hasn’t picked up the game yet, or lost/traded their copy long ago, it provides an opportunity for Bethesda.
Polish gaming website Ultima has started listing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary Edition for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. It seems Bethesda wants to squeeze a bit more profit out of the game by re-releasing all the content in a single package.
This Legendary Edition isn’t official yet, but it would be silly forBethesda not to do this as the collection is bound to be very good value for gamers choosing to pick it up while pushing sales up even further than the millions (10 million+) already sold. It’s also good news for anyone on a skinny Internet connection as the three DLC packs alone (DragonbornDawnguard, and Hearthfire) add up to almost 1.5GB of data.
No release date is listed for the Legendary Edition yet, but I doubt it can be that far off considering all Bethesda needs to do is get the discs printed for each platform.
