The Bethesda 2018 E3 press conference was, quite simply, superb, with new footage of Rage 2, Fallout 76 and teasers for The Elder Scrolls IV and new sci-fi RPG epic Starfield being particular highlights.

However, the best trailer of the showcase was, by far and away, the announcement video for Skyrim on Amazon Echo.

Voice-controlled adventure awaits and the skill is genuinely available now, even though we thought it was just a joke at the time.

Skyrim: Very Special Edition is available in the US only at first, but is coming to other regions in time. It's a brilliant gag, with an equally excellent sketch, but also works as you can see in the hilarious trailer.

We thoroughly approve - E3 press events can often be trailer after trailer of exploding heads and overblown gunfire effects. It's great to see Bethesda has a sense of humour about such things too.

It broke up the full event well, which also featured Andrew WK and his band singing the theme song for Rage 2 live in the venue. And then there was an announcement of new mobile game The Elder Scrolls: Blades for Android and iOS. It'll be free-to-play this Fall and you can pre-order it now.

It effectively brings an open world RPG Elder Scrolls experience to mobile, but with easy to use controls and combat system. Top stuff.
