When The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition came to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One last year, Bethesda introduced mods. The feature essentially lets players mess around with the game in ways that aren’t normally possible.

The Tower of Permanence is in the works for Switch, //commentout has announced. It will be playable at TGS 2017 later this month.
Essentially, The Tower of Permanence is an action game. You’ll be tasked with climbing a tower filled with different traps and enemies. Since the inside of the tower is procedurally generated, you’ll have a new tower to take on each day. Also fleshing out the experience are daily challenges that let you compete for the highest score with other players. You can also leave a dying message on your grave for others to see when they die.
We’ve included a couple of trailers for The Tower of Permanence below.
