No game is without a patch on the first day of release these days, and Skyrim is no exception. Bethesda has announced its plans to release a patch for its upcoming RPG for all three platforms—the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3—upon the game's release.
Nothing is known about what the patch is set to contain, but it will, without a doubt, fix bugs that otherwise managed to make it into the release version of the game—presumably ones too late for the company to fix before sending the disc off to the burners.
Skyrim will see players venture to the north of Cyrodiil. Set 200 years after the events in Oblivion, players get to battle dragons these time around, awakened according to some ancient prophecy.
Skyrim is set for release this Friday on the three aforementioned platforms. We'll have our review ready by then.
