Hi all, Atvelonis here. All is well on the wiki, but it's been an pretty busy week this time around in terms of news, so let's get to it!

TES news

 * It has been officially announced that will be coming to the Nintendo Switch later this year. While the Switch is being released on March 3rd, Skyrim will not be available on it until this Autumn. Read Flightmare's blog about it here for more information.


 * To the dismay of many, Pete Hines has officially stated that Bethesda will not be remastering any of the older games in the series. You can read Hines' exact words here. Fortunately, progress is still continuing on the fan-made remasters for Morrowind and Oblivion in Skyrim ' s engine.


 * On a happier note, the creators of the Skyrim Script Extender have announced that they are aiming for a beta release of the "SKSE64" for the Special Edition of Skyrim in mid-March. The Special Edition is in 64-bit, which means that mods should be able to make use of significantly more memory than they could in the original game. As such, we should be seeing some very advanced mods come out in the near future. See here for more info.


 * The PS4 has also (finally) received the 1.3 Patch for the Special Edition, which you can read about here. This update has been out for PC for some time now, and will be coming to Xbox One "soon," according to Bethesda.

Wiki news

 * Administrators and moderators are now able to fully edit any post on the Discussions, not just their own. If a post is edited by a staff member, a notice will appear at the bottom saying, "Edited by administrators." Furthermore, admins and mods are now capable of editing posts that are more than 24 hours old.


 * Last week's poll showed an overwhelming support for the reinstatement of the Member of the Month award system. As such, I thought that it was appropriate to nominate CarloV3r as the recipient for January. Please vote on whether or not Carlo should receive the award here.


 * Wikia has released a blog defending their "evolution" over time from a wiki farm to a collection of fan-related content in general. You can read this blog here.

That's about all I have for this week, folks. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend, and as always, happy editing! ―Atvelonis (talk) 03:26, January 15, 2017 (UTC)
