There’s another new feature coming to Bethesda Game Studios’ The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in the coming days. Update 1.6 will see mounted combat added to the RPG as a free update. The studio has plans to release the feature on PC first, followed by Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 at a later date.
Mounted combat will allow players to do both melee and ranged combat attacks while riding a horse. Update 1.6 will also see a list of bug fixes and optimizations for the game. In the recent update from Bethesda, they also said to expect more news about Dawnguard in the near future.
