Bethesda announced in their blog today that Minecraft players will be able to experience the world of Skyrim through an official content pack featuring Skyrim themed Menu, UI, texture set, character sets, soundtrack, and pre-made world.
Here is the breakdown of everything included in the content pack:
Skyrim Mash-up – Conent Breakdown

- Pre-made World recreating the area of Whiterun, Riverwood and Bleak falls Barrow (on a smaller scale in order to fit with technical constraints of the games map size limits)
There is no definite release date for the pack, but the blog states that it is "coming soon." It's not the first time Skyrim made its presence in Minecraft since several unofficial mods have implemented their own mash-ups in the past like the dragon mod.
Two months ago, we speculated that Minecraft would be collaborating with major developers after they released a mash-up pack for Mass Effect.
The pack will cost $3.99/£2.69/€3.79.
