Ready the coffee pots! That's right. Bethesda will be releasing a fancy new box set including all five main entries from the acclaimed Elder Scrolls series. Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim will be included in this beautiful box set, as well all the official add-ons and expansions for Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. Aside from the games just mentioned, Elder Scrolls Anthology comes with five full maps to help you navigate/survive the harsh lands of Tamriel, Iliac Bay, Morrowind, Cyrodiil and Skyrim.
New to The Elder Scrolls? Here's a recap of the series, courtesy of the official Bethesda Blog:
- The Elder Scrolls: Arena – Assume the role of a lone prisoner and travel to Tamriel’s most famous and dangerous sites to collect the shattered Staff of Chaos and save the Empire from the evil Imperial battlemage, Jagar Tharn. The Anthology features the original version of Arena and will launch within a DOS emulator.
- The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall – The ancient golem Numidium, a powerful weapon once used to unify Tamriel has once again been unearthed. In the power struggle that follows, the King of Daggerfall is murdered and his vengeful spirit haunts the kingdom. The Emperor Uriel Septim VII sends you on a heroic path to put the king’s spirit to rest and ensure that the golem does not fall into the wrong hands. The Anthology features the original version of Daggerfall and will launch within a DOS emulator.
- The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind – To fulfill an ancient prophecy, the Emperor sends you, an unknown Imperial courier, to the island of Vvardenfell to rid the land of Morrowind of a dark curse. Through a series of dangerous and magical quests, you are transformed into one of the Empire’s most enduring heroes. Also includes: Tribunal and Bloodmoon add-ons, plus The Elder Scrolls Construction Set.
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion – With the Empire ready to crumble, the gates of Oblivion open and demons march upon the land. In the shadow of evil, a hero will rise from the ashes of a fallen Empire. You must find the true heir of the Septim line and restore him to the Imperial throne, while unraveling the sinister plot that threatens to destroy all of Tamriel. Also includes: Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles expansions.
- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Dragons, long lost to the passages of the Elder Scrolls, have returned to Tamriel. The future of Skyrim, even the Empire itself, hangs in the balance as they wait for the prophesized Dragonborn to come; a hero born with the power of The Voice, and the only one who can stand amongst the dragons. Also includes: Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn add-ons.
