A 60-hour Skyrim mod with a 10-year development history gets a release window

The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim has many fans actively creating all kinds of modifications. Sometimes development can drag on

For about 10 years, an ambitious modification called Lordbound has been in development for The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim. It is a large-scale story expansion with additional content.

Lordbound is expected to feature over 60 hours of original content. The mod includes the Druadach Valley location, over 40 new quests, and around fifty dungeons. It also promises “the biggest main quest you’ve ever played in Skyrim, with choices and consequences that change the state of the valley.” Interesting loot, voiced NPCs, and an original soundtrack are also featured.

The creators haven't settled on an exact release date for Lordbound yet, but recently on Discord they outlined a release window (this is not a final date yet, everything may change during the development process):

“Most of our efforts recently have been focused on bug fixing, polishing, and improving neglected areas of the mod. We have a list of things we want to finish, which allowed us to create an internal ‘countdown’ checklist—a list of everything we want to achieve before the 1.0 launch. While this is a ‘living’ document, updated as we find new things that require attention, it has allowed us to quantify the remaining work on the mod.

With that in mind, I can say with medium-high confidence that we are aiming for a release in late 2024”.

The Lordbound modification for The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim has a page on ModDB, which can be found at the link.
