Skyrim E3 ad literally goes big over LA hotel

skyrim e3 art

You may have seen this in an unfinished state a couple of times, but here’s the full banana: a massive piece of art for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim overwatching LA in time for E3. The art is hanging over the Figueroa Hotel, as posted by Bethesda marketing and PR chief Pete Hines on Twitter. If the location looks a bit familiar, it’s because it is: Final Fantasy XIII was there two years ago. You can see a high-res version of the Skyrim art here.

Game’s out on November 11 for PS3, 360 and PC.

Interview – “The biggest year in our company’s history,” by Bethesda’s Pete Hines

pete hines

This year will be the biggest in Bethesda’s history. An RPG sequel anticipated for aeons; the first new IP from id Software in 15 years; one of the most anticipated shooters in the industry this year; and a dungeon crawler which fuses old days with new.

Post-release DLC for one of last year’s biggest hits is a also certainty for 2011, but the anticipation of future releases is likely to further add to this year’s importance for the publisher: three new studiosone from the east – are coming on board with new projects with the company and, obviously there’s a chance at getting a look at DOOM4 this year.

With so much going on at Bethesda it seemed like a good time to catch up. We spoke last week with the company’s VP of marketing and PR, Pete Hines.
