Bethesda-Release-Update-1.5-for-SkyrimBethesda have just released the beta version of update 1.5 on Steam for its monster hit Skyrim. It’s not just bug fixes that the new update aims to deliver, although it does come with a whopping 27 of them. Update 1.5 also introduces new features, the most notable of which being fantastic new cinematic kill cams and animations.

Cinematic kill cams were previously only available for melee weapons. Very satisfying it was to, seeing your axe slowly crush the skull of a fearsome Frost Troll, or friendly unsuspecting villager. Now thanks to the new update ranged weapon and magic users get to join in on the fun. Fear not though for those of you who prefer the close quarters action melee weapons provide, new moves and animations have been added for that too!

For a look at what you can expect from update 1.5 check out the video below, and for a full list of new features including bug fixes head over to the official Elder Scrolls site. For Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 players Bethesda have said the update will be made available for you to enjoy soon.

So will this new update have you heading back to the land of Skyrim, did you ever even leave?
