The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Patch 1.4 is Coming Soon

Orcs using magic? I seen it all now.

Bethesda has released the patch notes for its latest Skyrim update, Patch 1.4. Bethesda says the upcoming patch for Skyrim is currently undergoing testing on all three platforms and hopes to have it finalised by next week and submit it for certification on consoles and release on PC.

“Our current update plan for the PC is to first release our updates as ‘beta’ versions through Steam,” they said. “This is something you’ll be able to opt into through Steam and back-out of if needed. This is an extra safety check for everyone going forward and should expedite and improve our updating process for our PC users. We’ll have more info soon on how this will work.”
