The collaboration turns IKEA's storage design into an actual game mechanic, addressing Skyrim's item-hoarding tendencies by giving players a fully voiced, functional shelf companion.

Bethesda Game Studio and IKEA officially collaborated on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on September 9. A free update adds the white shelf 'KALLAX STORAGEBORN' as a voiced companion that follows the player, sways, and stores items. The collaboration also adds new quests, dungeons, and bosses, including an ultimate enemy embodied as 'clutter.'
The shelf follows the player while swaying its body and can store luggage or display items, keeping IKEA's storage approach intact. A video released on IKEA UK's official YouTube channel shows the Dragonborn shouting 'IKEA!' to summon the shelf, and the Q&A on IKEA UK's site answers the question of whether this is real with a simple 'Yes.'
Beyond the companion, the collaboration adds new items, quests, dungeons, and bosses. The story has the player uncover the origin of a mysterious master and face the embodiment of the world's ultimate enemy, 'clutter,' with enemies shown covered in gathered objects.
