Bethesda announced today that they're making an Elder Scrolls MMO. This has been a huge fan request since Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion. There's going to be coverage of it in next month's issue of Game Informer, which will look like this :
So look for that on newsstands in the next few weeks. I'm not one for fully single player experiences being converted into multi-player, but if one world can do it well, it'll definitely be The Elder Scrolls. Not you Fallout. Fallout had better stay a single player experience. What's the point of 'roaming the wastes' if thousands of people are doing it with you?! How could it be a wasteland.. yet lively?! But I digress.. Elder Scrolls Online will undoubtedly be really cool. Here's a quote from Bethesda about it :
"The Elder Scrolls Online merges the unmatched exploration of rich worlds that the franchise is known for with the scale and social aspects of a massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Players will discover an entirely new chapter of Elder Scrolls history in this ambitious world, set a millennium before the events of Skyrim as the daedric prince Molag Bal tries to pull all of Tamriel into his demonic realm.
“It will be extremely rewarding finally to unveil what we have been developing the last several years,” said game director and MMO veteran Matt Firor, whose previous work includes Mythic’s well-received Dark Age of Camelot. “The entire team is committed to creating the best MMO ever made – and one that is worthy of The Elder Scrolls franchise."
Well, they sound committed to delivering a true TES experience. I'm excited to see what they've been developing.
