Rifts over Skyrim

A rift tears open on the road just outside Riverwood, and three of World of Warcraft's Ghouls come out of it to fight you.

What you get

• The rift: a blazing portal on the Riverwood road, right where a new game's travels begin.
• WoW's Ghouls: World of Warcraft's real Ghoul model and skin, moving and fighting with Skyrim's draugr animations.
• WoW loot: each Ghoul wields a real World of Warcraft weapon (Ghoul Hammer, Ghoulslicer and Corpse Harvester) with its own name, model and texture. Loot it from the body and fight with it yourself.
• Crimson Desert's battle theme joins Skyrim's combat music while you fight near the rift.
• Single player.

What you need Skyrim Special Edition, World of Warcraft (retail) and Crimson Desert, all installed. Press Play: the first time, the mashup builds the Ghouls, their weapons and the music from your own copies of the games (it takes a minute), then Skyrim starts. Nothing from any of the games ships with it.
