Elder Scrolls Online

The prospect of playing in a persistent online Elder Scrolls world is an exciting one, but until I get some indication of what will actually make this game unique it’s hard to not view it with a little trepidation.


Game Informer managed to snag the exclusive reveal of the PC and Mac game, which will be featured in the magazine's June issue. The game will reportedly take place "a millennium before the events of Skyrim," and will feature three warring player factions that can quest alone or in groups and engage in player-vs-player combat. The magazine promises more details will be slowly dripped out through trailers, screenshots, and interviews with the team behind the game in the coming weeks.


This will also be the first time the Elder Scrolls universe has been the setting for anything other than a singleplayer game. We know very little about it so far, though Game Informer have started to trickle out the details. So far they’ve revealed that it’s “set a millennium before the events of Skyrim as the daedric prince Molag Bal tries to pull all of Tamriel into his demonic realm.” The game will also include vast PvP conflicts between three factions, in which players will fight for the Emperor’s throne, as well as “solo questing” and “public dungeons”.
