Today it has been confirmed that the brand new Elder Scrolls title, Skyrim, will use a completely new game engine to run. Bethesda Softworks’ Nick Breckon has revealed via twitter that the Skyrim “engine is all new”.
Hopefully this means a step in the right direction for the fifth Elder Scrolls title; Breckon did add that Skyrim “looks fantastic” so I think we can safely say the new engine is great news.
