You read that right – the open world RPG is now available in voice command form for the Alexa receiver – news confirmed during Bethesda’s E3 2018 press conference. Featured above, you can view a trailer for the game’s latest port.
Here’s a rundown on the new app, via Amazon:
Bethesda Game Studios is proud to present Skyrim… for Alexa. Yes, that’s right, the version of Skyrim you never saw coming has finally arrived on the platform you never asked for.
