Summary
- A Skyrim fan found their 12-year-old Prima Games official game guide, sparking nostalgia.
- Despite Skyrim being 13 years old, relics like the game guide still hold value to fans.
- Prima Games' guides were once a vital resource for players, including those for Skyrim.
A Skyrim fan online has made an extremely nostalgic discovery after finding their 12-year-old Prima Games official game guide. Once upon a time, Prima Games' official game guides were a great resource for players looking to find all the need-to-know information about a game, and Skyrim was no different.
Given how relevant the game remains in the modern gaming sphere, it's remarkable to think that Skyrim is 13 years old at this point. At this point, there are bound to be tons of small relics from the game's release period hanging around in random places, and it's always interesting to see where they pop up. There was even a recent report of a Skyrim fan finding a huge Dragonborn statue at an antique mall, which, back in 2011, was in circulation to help market the game in stores.
New Mod Fixes Skyrim's Worst Feature After 13 Years
A new Skyrim mod addresses one of the game's worst features, finally fixing it 13 years after its release.
Redditor Caldwell-Leatherwood managed to dig up their official game guide for Skyrim, which they have had for 12 years. The user said, "I totally forgot I had it," which is so often the case with interesting finds like these. Admittedly, the game guide has seen better days, but that's simply a sign that it was a worthwhile purchase for the player, having got plenty of use out of it. One gamer in the thread claimed the item "is practically a holy relic now," while others shared pictures of their own official game guides for both Skyrim and Oblivion.
Skyrim Fan Finds 12-Year-Old Official Game Guide
While Prima Games may have shut down years ago, many gamers who grew up in the 1990s, 2000s, and early 2010s will have fond memories of scouring these books for information about their favorite title. In many ways, vast games like Skyrim were the perfect candidate for this kind of book. There's so much to know and learn about the game, that the Prima Games guide for Skyrim would probably still be very helpful 13 years on.
Seeing items like this being discovered after so long is a stark reminder about the fact that Bethesda has yet to release The Elder Scrolls 6. Although it officially confirmed the existence of the game back in 2018, news on the long-awaited title has been very difficult to come by. Now, with Starfield out of the way, hopefully the studio is hard at work on finally bringing the next Elder Scrolls title to life. Bethesda has yet to officially reveal The Elder Scrolls 6's setting, so beyond rumors, players have very little to go off at the moment.
