The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim PC Requirements Now Available

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has just received the minimum and recommended PC requirements that need to be met by those who want to experience the new role playing game from Bethesda.

Skyrim was announced late last year and, since then, has certainly made lots of gamers extremely interested in it, thanks to its new engine that promises to deliver a less buggy experience than the old Gamebryo, to the story which focuses on a Dragonborn warrior (Dovahkiin in the game's own fictional language) who needs to stop a growing evil that threatens the world of Skyrim, while battling with giant dragons, as seen in the recent live action trailer for the game.

Now, ahead of the game's release next month, Bethesda, its developer and publisher has revealed the minimum and recommended PC system requirements for Skyrim, which, at first glace, aren't that steep, although you will need an Internet connection to activate the role playing game on Valve's Steam digital distribution service.
