The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is officially set to return with another brand-new release in 2027. The announcement was made on Skyrim‘s 15th anniversary, confirming that Bethesda’s RPG classic is making an awesome comeback next year.
At this point, the number of Skyrim re-releases is something of a meme in the gaming community. Bethesda has continued to re-release the game numerous times over the years, launching across three generations of consoles. The fact that it still hasn’t launched The Elder Scrolls 6 has only added to the joke over the years. However, this upcoming release isn’t another new Skyrim port, but rather something else entirely.
Skyrim Soundtrack Remastered With Vinyl and CD Release in 2027
In a post on X, Laced Records confirmed that to celebrate Skyrim‘s 15th anniversary, it has remastered the game’s original soundtrack for vinyl and CD, confirming that it “returns in 2027.” This will give fans the opportunity to add the legendary soundtrack to their physical audio collection, if they missed previous releases over the years. Other versions of the soundtrack tend to sell for a lot of money aftermarket, so fans should definitely keep their eyes peeled for this new Skyrim release.
As it stands, there are very few details about the new version of the Skyrim OST – only that pre-orders will be “opening soon” ahead of its 2027 release. No price details, no exact date for the pre-order window. This means fans will just have to remain on the lookout for when Laced Records provides more information to avoid missing out.
Laced Records specializes in video game soundtrack vinyls, with pre-orders open right now for titles like Oblivion Remastered, Gears of War: E-Day, and Borderlands 4. While video game vinyls have been around for a long time, it’s cool to have a publisher dedicated entirely to the medium rather than treating it as an afterthought.
As Skyrim turns 15, even with a new soundtrack release, most of the fans’ attention is on the recently named Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel. Over eight years after its official announcement, TES 6 finally has a name and a setting. Skyrim has stood the test of time, but it can’t remain the most recent Elder Scrolls release forever, so hopefully this is the start of Bethesda being ready to lift the lid on the next game in the series.
