The first trailer featuring in-game footage of the anticipated Elder Scrolls sequel, Skyrim, has arrived. Elder Scrolls V is Bethesda’s long awaited follow-up to the excellent Oblivion, a game that was praised at the time for its state of the art visuals. Skyrim seems to be following in its predecessors footsteps, the fantasy role-playing game’s visuals look second to none. Watch the trailer below.

Bethesda has had a wonderful track record with the Elder Scrolls games, which despite their many flaws, are some of the best role-playing games out there. If the time we spent playing Morrowind, Oblivion, and their expansions is any indication, we can easily imagine sinking days, if not weeks, of gameplay time into Skyrim.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim arrives for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on November 11, 2011.
