The Elder Scrolls Anthology bundles every mudcrab, dragon, and potato-faced human

At QuakeCon last night, Bethesda announced The Elder Scrolls Anthology, a special edition retail release containing every TES game, expansion and DLC pack.

At QuakeCon last night, Bethesda announced The Elder Scrolls Anthology, a special edition retail release containing every TES game, expansion and DLC pack. That's a hell of a lot of prison escapes, grand adventure, and stilted voice acting being packed into a single box. But if you're not tempted by an attractive re-release of games you likely already own, the developer is also packaging the ultimate in PC gaming physical rewards: five maps, covering Tamriel, Iliac Bay, Morrowind, Cyrodiil and Skyrim.

The Elder Scrolls Arena The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind The Elder Scrolls III DLC: Tribunal The Elder Scrolls III DLC: Bloodmoon The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion The Elder Scrolls IV DLC: Knights of the Nine The Elder Scrolls IV DLC: Shivering Isles The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim The Elder Scrolls V DLC: Dawnguard The Elder Scrolls V DLC: Hearthfire The Elder Scrolls V DLC: Dragonborn

Given Bethesda's tendency to bundle the official Oblivion add-onsonto retail discs, it's a likely bet that they'll be included as well. After all, it's not much of an anthology if it doesn't include Horse Armour.

It's a lovely looking artefact for fans of the series, but if you just want the games, there are cheaper options. With Bethesda running Steam sales this weekend in celebration of QuakeCon, expect to see Morrowind, Oblivionand Skyrimall get heavy discounts at some point. As for Arenaand Daggerfall, both have been released as free downloads directly from Bethesda.

The Elder Scrolls Anthology will release September 13th in Europe, and September 10th in North America. It will cost £49.99 / $79.99 / €59.99 / $89.99AUD
