A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Where did you get the idea they might do a remake? They haven't remade any TES games so far.
Just a rumour that was going around, I don't think it's too likely.
You sure the rumors you heard weren’t about Skyblivion?

No, but they have remastered the most recent one twice. :(
It was remastered once. They ported it to anything that could run it.
There was Skyrim Special Edition and Skyrim Anniversary Edition.
Anniversary wasn't a remaster, it just bundled the creation club stuff.
I haven't played it, but they said it includes "next gen improvements" which I can only assume means improved visuals. I'm not sure what else that could be.
The improved textures at least were taken from a mod.
That was the Witcher 3 upgrade. Skyrim didn't change textures.
Anniversary edition on PC was basically a $20 dlc to get all of the creation club stuff. Maybe they reworked some stuff for the current gen consoles, but I still wouldn't consider that a remaster.
Like I said, I didn't play it. I'm just going off the description in some random article I found online. Whatever you want to call it, it's yet another "edition". They have far too many "editions" while the other games in the franchise have been ignored. That was my only point.
