Speculation about The Elders Scroll V: Skyrim has been running rampant since the teaser trailer as shown at the Spike VGAs and the teaser site went live soon after. We know one thing for certain though, the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 game from Bethesda Softworks won't be built on the same game engine as any previous games.
While there be dragons in the game, Skyrim will also sport a brand new shiny engine according to the Bethblog twitter. "Seeing lots of speculation about #tesv game engine. It's brand new... and it's spectacular!," it said.
Good news as the game engines from Oblivion, Fallout 3and Fallout: New Vegas are beginning to show their age.
Update: For those wondering if this is a licensed engine or an internal engine, Bethesda confirmed on their forumsthat this is a new internally developed engine.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is due out on November 11, 2011.
