Last month, Xbox teamed up with Ikea to put some console-themed furniture into its stores. Turns out the unlikely collab doesn’t end there. Ikea is now returning the favor by putting some of its furniture into an Xbox-owned game, and that game is Skyrim.
After teasing that Ikea furniture will start showing up in Skyrim, the crossover now has its own trailer to celebrate its arrival. The trailer focuses on the Skyrim x Ikea crossover star, Kallax Storageborn. Storageborn is a living bookshelf voiced by Matt Berry, best known as Laszlo from What We Do In The Shadows, but for gamers, he is the voice of Bane in Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight.
Not only can Storageborn be your companion, but, like any good bookshelf, you can use it to store things, playing on an age-old joke about how easy it is to become over-encumbered in Skyrim. The bookcase can awkwardly follow you around, although if you choose to dismiss it, all you need to do is yell “IKEA!” to summon it. No, I’m not kidding.
Although the trailer for the crossover focuses solely on Storageborn, there’s a lot more Ikea in Skyrim starting...
