Previous Bethesda games have seen releases of special editions that included all the DLC packs in a game alongside the base game, including Skyrim – so in a way it’s not a surprise that the game that was billed at first as “Skyrim but with friends” is also getting one.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Edition is a release for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4 that will see the base game as well as all four of its current DLC packs put together into one package to attract new players into the world, with players venturing across all corners of Tamriel in a search for quests, loot and adventures with friends. Costing £49.99 for the console versions and £39.99 for the PC version, Gold Edition will have all of the content from Imperial City, Orsinium, Thieves Guild & Dark Brotherhood from the start, as well as including a Palomino horse mount and 500 of the game’s in-game currency, Crowns, for all new accounts.

As well, existing players of the base game will be able to acquire the four DLC packs through the in-game Crown Store. The Guilds and Glory DLC pack is new and will be available for a discounted price of 5,500 Crowns – when the Crowns price of buying them all separately is 9,500 that’s quite a discount.
