Skyrim is finally getting Kinect integration (and yes, shouts are in)

Previously, if you wanted to use the Kinect for Skyrim, you would have to use a Kinect camera and hook it up to your PC and run a custom program that allowed it.

But now, Skyrim is finally getting an official update that integrates the Kinect with the game. The update will be free and will bring over 200 commands using Kinect’s voice recognition capabilities.

There are a bunch of commands that will be available to you such as controlling AI partners, looting items, assigning hotkeys, and much much more.

With Kinect integration, Bethesda has said that the Xbox 360 will be getting exclusive add-ons such as new quests and locations. Check out the video above for a demo of the commands.

Thanks, Kotaku.
