It’s during this section that Bethesda confirms that not only with theSkyrim Anniversary Editionhave a Fishing mechanic, but also new quests associated with it.

As Bethesda mentions Fishing-related quests, a location is shown with a woman named Viraya. There’s a fish displayed on the wall and cuts of fish for food, as well. The clip shows the building shaking as if something enormous has passed beside it, or below it. Viraya says, “What was that?” before the video continues on. It’s just a tease, but the implication is clear.Fishing inSkyrim Anniversary Editioncould have some very large fish to catch.
The trailer also hints at another interesting Fishing-related detail, as there appears to be some sort of Fishing Guild in the game. The building shown is built over open water and has its center cut out so the water is accessible. Fish hang from the railings and rafters in this building, showing that it’s clearly tied to theFishing content added inSkyrim Anniversary Edition. Perhaps players will start the Fishing questline here, or perhaps there’s more to it than meets the eye.
Otherwise, Bethesda uses the trailer to break down some of the expected content included with the Fishing update. 20 different types of fish will be available forSkyrimplayers to find and fish in the game. All of these fish can be cooked, displayed as trophies, or kept as pets inSkyrim’s new aquarium system.
Before currentSkyrimplayerspanic over having to purchase the newSkyrim Anniversary Editionto get the game’s extra Fishing content, Bethesda has positive news. The update will also be available for free to all owners of theSkyrim Special Edition, too. Expect all of it to launch this November.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Anniversary Editionreleases November 11 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
