Bethesda Softworks Preview Skyrim Creation Kit and Skyrim Workshop

When it comes to Bethesda’s open world game releases, I always skip over the console releases and head to the PC versions…. why? They do a brilliant job at delivering dozens to hundreds of hours with their worlds – but what makes their games really special is their support of game modders which has resulted in many creative works being released for Fallout 3 and Oblivion to name a few.

The Creation Kit offers the same suite of tools that Bethesda Game Studios used to create The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and will be a free download via Steam. The Creation Kit has lots of new features, including the ability to build archives. Plus you’ll want to check out the Creation Kit Wiki, our online documentation and help file, for more details.

With Skyrim Workshop, you can browse and search for the latest or highest rated mods, subscribe to any that interest you, rate your favorites and post feedback. Once you’ve subscribed to some mods, start the Skyrim launcher and you’ll see your subscribed mods automatically download. The launcher will even check if a mod has been updated and grab the latest version.

I look forward to seeing what the community can release for Skyrim! There is no slated release date yet, but keep an eye HERE or on the official website for more details.
