The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is coming to the Nintendo Switch, but it looks like Bethesda doesn’t want to say whether it’s the original version from 2011 or the remake from 2016. Bethesda’s Todd Howard recently spoke with Polygon about Skyrim and Fallout 4, as they were the two most recent releases in a pair of franchises that have become very well received. In fact, they’re a significant contributor to Todd Howard being inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame tomorrow night. However, Todd Howard also touched upon future projects, including the Nintendo Switch version of Skyrim. The only thing he said? The company “can’t say” which version it will be.
