 THE ELDER SCROLLS® ONLINE COMING TO NEXT-GENERATION CONSOLES

Latest Game in Award-Winning Franchise Arriving on PlayStation®4, Xbox One, PC, and Mac in Spring 2014

June 10, 2013 (Rockville, MD) – Bethesda Softworks® today announced that The Elder Scrolls® Online is in development for both the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft. The game will launch on these consoles, in addition to the previously announced PC and Mac versions, in Spring 2014. The Elder Scrolls Online is the latest chapter of the award-winning franchise – and will bring the legendary experience online for the first time. Players can choose their own style of play as they embark upon an epic adventure across all of Tamriel, playing alone on a heroic quest as in previous Elder Scrolls games, exploring the huge, rich world with a few select friends, or playing with hundreds of others in massive PvP battles to save the Empire.

“We are thrilled to bring this game to consoles, in addition to the PC and Mac,†said Matt Firor, game director of The Elder Scrolls Online. “It’s something our fans have been requesting since we first announced the title, and something our team is excited to offer. Everyone will be able to play The Elder Scrolls Online the way they want to playâ€

After having experienced extended hands-on gameplay and testing the game’s innovations, quests, and unique features, The Elder Scrolls Online was described by MMORPG.com as “a perfect sauce of awesome.†The game has emerged as one of the industry’s most anticipated titles – and praised by such diverse press outlets as IGN, GameSpot, Game Informer, MMORPG.com and TenTonHammer.com. Millions of Elder Scrolls fans have already signed up for the beta  on PC and Mac to gain early access to the game, and console fans can now sign up to be eligible for the console beta test  which will begin later this year.

The Elder Scrolls Online will be the first Elder Scrolls title to be played online after nearly 20 years of offering these best-selling, award-winning fantasy role-playing games for single player only. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim® is the most recent chapter of the Elder Scrolls story. Skyrim, developed by Bethesda Game Studios, was released in November 2011 and enjoyed worldwide critical and commercial success. As the follow-up to the 2002 Role-Playing Game of the Year, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind®, and the 2006 Game of the Year, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion®, Skyrim earned hundreds of ‘Game of the Year’ awards and has sold over 20 million copies.

I'm wondering how this will play out on PS4/Xbox 720, as they aren't made for the MMOs and such. Lol.And Spring 2014, that's disappointing, wanted it before Christmas. D:

Not that I'd get the game anyway, but I noriced the date aswell. I thought it was like holiday 2013 or something. The game still seem kibda rushed though. Well, I can't really remember when they started working on it.

They've already been working on it since around 2007, which is ~5-6 years. Spring 2014 could be up to 11 months away, and if that's the case the hype machine will die down considerably. They've already said it's supposed to run on old PC's, so it could be as outdated as hell by then.

 

We'll see, I guess.

If it means less bugs and more time to perfect, it isn't all that bad, only a few extra months. Just can't get it for Christmas now is all. When they talk of it running on old PCs, I just hope that it's just an ultra low graphics setting.
