It is called KALLAX STORAGEBORN. The mod turns IKEA's white Kallax shelf unit into a fully voiced traveling companion. The shelf follows the Dragonborn around while wobbling, can be loaded with loot, and helps organize a player's home. Actor Matt Berry provides the voice work, according to 4Gamer.net. The same day, IKEA UK's official YouTube channel published a trailer in which the Dragonborn shouts \"IKEA!\" to summon the shelf. IKEA said the collaboration is meant to address the game's inventory problem, since Skyrim pushes players to collect thousands of item types. The update also adds new items, quests, dungeons, and bosses, and the player faces a creature called Clutter. It is downloadable from the Bethesda Creations website or from inside the game.","whyItMatters":"A furniture retailer's in-house joke mod arrives through Bethesda's official Creations channel rather than a fan site, which puts a real company's marketing inside Skyrim's sanctioned mod pipeline.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe mod\u0026#39;s official Q\u0026amp;A on IKEA UK\u0026#39;s site answers the obvious question with one word: \u0026#34;Is this real?\u0026#34; has the reply \u0026#34;Yes.\u0026#34;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsked why IKEA made a Skyrim mod, the company answered that delivering storage solutions to the real world \u0026#34;has long been our mission,\u0026#34; and that this time it extended that mission into the digital world. A follow-up question pushes harder, and the answer points at the player\u0026#39;s inventory and the state of being over-encumbered and cluttered.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIKEA keeps its own storage logic inside the mod. Players can hand luggage to the shelf and display items on it.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quest line sends the player after the origin of a mysterious master, with the world\u0026#39;s ultimate enemy, Clutter, as the final opponent. Footage shows an enemy built from gathered objects and the white Kallax unit glowing and screaming on top of a pile of loot.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailability differs by platform. PC and Xbox players of Skyrim Special Edition can download it now, and PlayStation players will be able to join soon.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaction on the gaming subreddit ran toward amusement. One poster wrote that it was \u0026#34;so ridiculous that I ended up laughing out loud,\u0026#34; and another compared it to an April Fools\u0026#39; joke while saying they would try it if it reached PS5.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"IKEA made an official Skyrim mod.
