Bethesda recently announced that it will be releasing the Remastered Steelbook Edition of the video game "Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim."

The video game developers revealed that the Steelbook Edition will not consist of special in-game content. Instead, the latest edition will consist of all the DLC packs, a few technical improvements as well as mod support for consoles. Moreover, the Remastered Edition will have a special metallic case and exclusive artwork.

Previous speculations suggested that the game will feature additional plotlines. The news came from a website that claimed Bethesda confirmed the supplementary story content. The speculations were shot down when Bethesda's VP of PR and marketing Pete Hines got hold of the story and denied everything.

Fans should be wary about the circulating rumors. Some are simply written with click-bait headlines. Though little is known about the upcoming edition, Hines is doing what he can to answer fan questions.

According to the VP, the Remastered edition will be available in all the languages that the original game supported. When a fan asked Hines if the game will be available in Spanish, he responded, tweeting "it'll be available in all the same languages as the original Skyrim."

Moreover, Hines revealed the preload plans for the game. The Remastered Edition will be available for pre-purchase. Gamers can also download its digital version.

"Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" will be launched Friday, Oct. 28 for PlayStation 4 consoles and Xbox One consoles for $60. The Remastered Edition will reportedly be available to PC users for free, considering that the gamers already have the original. However, the saved files will not be transferred.

Gamers have expressed distaste for an expensive game which is already five years old. Hines told a fan through a tweet that if he doesn't want that, then he simply shouldn't purchase it.
