  "account": "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim now features an official mod created in collaboration with IKEA, turning the Kallax bookcase into a fully-fledged game companion named Kallax Storageborn. The baritone voice of comedian Matt Berry brings life to the IKEA storage unit, which can now carry items and prevent players from becoming over-encumbered. Players can summon Kallax Storageborn using a custom Dragon Shout (AYE-KEY-YAH).\n\nThe mod goes beyond being a simple joke, with developer Kinggath Creations crafting a full quest, two new IKEA-themed dungeons, and a boss fight against the Clutter Golem. Players can also wield the Dwemer Allen Key weapon, wear the Meatball Helmet, and consume meatball food items.\n\nIKEA's executive Kemi Anthony stated that the company believes in creating a better everyday life for people, including their digital experiences. The collaboration aims to provide meaningful assistance to Skyrim players while adding a touch of IKEA playfulness to the game.\n\nMatt Berry, known for his roles in What We Do in the Shadows, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, and the upcoming Bill Hader-starring adaptation of The Cat in the Hat, has also contributed his voice to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The IKEA Kallax Storageborn add-on Creation is available for free download through Bethesda Game Studios' in-game Creations menu starting September 9.",
