Dragon Shout will offer interactive Skyrim map on iOS and Android devices

By Rick Marshall November 29, 2011

The massive world of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim can get a little intimidating at times with its seemingly never-ending supply of new adventures and areas to explore. Thankfully, when it comes to tracking your Skyrim exploits, there’s an app for that — or rather, there soon will be.

Dragon Shout is an upcoming, interactive Skyrim map for iOS that will allow users to place annotated markers and make notes about their activities in different parts of the game’s world.

“For example, yesterday I played Skyrim and left a bunch of dragon scales and bones on the side of a mountain because they were too heavy,” the developer told Touch Arcade.

While the game will launch as a solo experience, the developer plans to update the app with a social element that will allow users to share markers and notes, chat, and other activities.

Dragon Shout will be a free app and is expected to be available “within the next couple of days” for iPhone and iPad, with an Android version still in development. You can get more info on the app and check out some early screenshots at the app’s official website.

The best Skyrim mods

best skyrim mods jedi of mod

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is nothing short of legendary. It managed to win over 200 awards and sold more than 30 million copies from its initial release. This would only be amplified by not one but two re-releases, a 2016 launch that saw a cool 939,000 copies sold in the first week, in addition to the Nintendo Switch port that following year.

Emblematic as the experience may be, Bethesda's lore-riddled fantasy RPG wouldn't be one of the greatest open-world games without its dedicated modding community. From simple graphical touchups to complete out-of-universe transformations, Skyrim mods have evolved alongside the iconic title. Whether it's home to more immersive NPCs or becomes a nightmarish version of the Mushroom Kingdom, Tamriel can now practically become anything a player desires.

Do you know how long it takes to beat your favorite video games? You can now put your skills to the test with How Long To Beat: The Game, a free browser game that's worth checking out.

The project, launched in late April, comes from video game website How Long To Beat, which tracks the runtime of video games using player-submitted data. You can use the site to see how long it takes to complete the main story of a game or even how much time it'll take to go for 100% completion. How Long To Beat has turned that feature into a creative game that's surprisingly fun.

GTA 6: release date speculation, trailer, gameplay, and more

Lucia and her partner rob a store in GTA 6.

Believe it or not, it has been over a decade since the last GTA game. While tons of people are still dumping hundreds of hours into GTA Online, everyone has been (not so) patiently waiting for Rockstar to finally confirm that a new entry is in the works. Despite many leaks and rumors, the team held strong until late 2023. Now that the game is finally confirmed, we have a lot more solid ground to cover in terms of what Grand Theft Auto 6 will be. This is going to be the biggest game of the generation, if not all time, so let's hotwire a car and pull off a heist to get all the information about GTA 6 there is.
GTA 6 release date speculation

Along with the official announcement trailer for GTA 6, we got a release window for the game. While it is a little disappointing, we won't be exploring the next open-world phenomenon until sometime in 2025.
