THE BUZZ: Bethesda’s Pete Hines has announced the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Creation Kit is set to release this Tuesday, February 7.

“For our Skyrim PC fans, the Creation Kit is on track for release on Tuesday. And, we also have a special surprise with it,” he said. The Creation Kit will allow users to easily upload, download and install mods via Steam.

EGM’s TAKE: Fans have been itching to get their hands on this powerful set of tools since they were first announced last year. Not only do they bring the game’s powerful engine into the hands of modders everywhere but it also comes with a dialogue tool allowing you to create dialogue trees and change text. Looking at what fans have created without tools of any kind practically makes us drool at the thought of what they can achieve now. Then there’s the little matter of this ”special surprise.” Oh Bethesda, how you tease us.

What could the surprise be? Leave your thoughts below.
