An Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim player has found a vampire fish in Bethesda's open world RPG after thousands of hours of gameplay. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim gives players a massive open world to explore, with fans still discovering "new" things to this day. Sometimes these discoveries come about from people playing a modded version of the game or a newer version than the one that was available at launch.
Since Skyrim's initial release in 2011, Bethesda has re-released the game on multiple occasions. This has included the Special Edition remaster for PS4 and Xbox One, the Nintendo Switch version of the game, a VR version, and most recently, the Anniversary Edition. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - Anniversary Edition is the most fully-featured take on Bethesda's open world game, as it not only collects all the previously-released content in one convenient package, but it also rolls in Creation Club content and new features like fishing.
Players can fish and maintain aquariums in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - Anniversary Edition, with new fish types added to the open world to make the features more interesting. One such new fish type is the vampire fish, which Reddit user XxToosterxX just recently stumbled on for the first time despite having 1000s of hours of time invested in the game. Since the vampire fish were added as part of the game's Anniversary Edition, it makes sense that the Reddit user has found one for the first time while playing the Switch version of the Anniversary Edition.
Some comments on the post suggested that this vampire fish was the result of a Skyrim mod, but the Reddit user said that they were actually playing the Nintendo Switch version of Skyrim - Anniversary Edition. While Skyrim - Anniversary Edition hit most platforms in November 2021, Switch gamers had to wait nearly a year later to get their hands on the new content.
At first, the Switch port of Skyrim - Anniversary Edition had some performance problems that weren't present in the original version of the game. Luckily, Bethesda looked into the issues and released an update that patched things up, so now Switch owners should be able to play the Anniversary Edition without having to worry about having a subpar experience.
Any longtime Skyrim players that have yet to try Anniversary Edition may want to give it a go. Thanks to all the new content added through the Creation Club, it's quite likely that they too will make some fresh discoveries, even if they have logged thousands of hours in the base version of the game.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - Anniversary Edition is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
