Skyrim just got 16 new dungeons you can explore right now

There is never a bad time to return to Skyrim and luckily, this free download gives fans the perfect opportunity to do so by offering tons of new content.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim may be well over a decade old but that has not stopped fans from regularly returning the much-loved Bethesda RPG.

Thanks to its immense open-world, hilarious glitches, and engaging gameplay, Skyrim has become a classic over recent years and that can partly be attributed to its dedicated community.

That is most definitely the case for MissingLukey over on Nexus Mods who has created a way to enjoy heaps of new content in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Skyrim Bandit Expansion is a free-to-download mod which adds 14 new unique bandit camps and two new occupied mines throughout Skyrim.

“Each location is hand-crafted with regional themes, lore-filled notes, and immersive environmental storytelling detail,” the mod description reads.

“Designed to make the wilderness more dangerous, and rewarding for exploration and all playstyles.”

Uploaded just a week ago, this mod has already gained almost 7,000 downloads and it is not hard to see why.

Skyrim Bandit Expansion’s 14 new bandit camps range from small ambush sites to fully fortified strongholds, caves, and hidden outposts and can be found all across Skyrim.

This includes mountain peaks, forest encampments, windswept plateaus, shipwrecks, cliffsides, ruined towers and more.

As for the two custom mines, one has been reworked into a frozen, glacial lair with icebound pathways whilst the other is an operational gold and iron mine currently occupied by a ruthless Orcish gang.

Each of these brand-new locations will also include lore snippets via the form of notes, letters, journals and even ambient clues.

Not to mention the hidden stashes that are found throughout as you uncover stories of broken families, unfulfilled promises, and quiet sacrifices.

Skyrim Bandit Expansion is perfect for those who want just another excuse to head back into The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
