Bethesda Softworks has announced its first ever Elder Scrolls game, The Elder Scrolls Online which is massively multiplayer online (MMO) game. The game has been developed ZeniMax Online Studios.
"We have been working hard to create an online world in which players will be able to experience the epic Elder Scrolls universe with their friends, something fans have long said they wanted," said Matt Firor, Game Director of The Elder Scrolls Online in a press release. "It will be extremely rewarding finally to unveil what we have been developing the last several years. The entire team is committed to creating the best MMO ever made - and one that is worthy of The Elder Scrolls franchise," Firor further added.
The game has been designed to allow players in exploring the legendary Elder Scrolls world with others. Details about The Elder Scrolls Online will also be given out as a cover story in the June issue of Game Informer.
"An in-depth look at everything from solo questing to public dungeons awaits in our enormous June cover story - as well as a peek at the player-driven PvP conflict that pits the three player factions against each other in open-world warfare over the province of Cyrodiil and the Emperor's throne itself," writes Game Informer.
The Elder Scrolls Online will be made available for the PC and Mac versions. The game is set a millennium before Skyrim events as Prince Molag Bal attempts to capture the land Tamriel into his demonic realm.
In 2011, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was an award winning title in the Elder Scrolls universe which got shipped over 10 million copies within the first month of its release. Skyrim games have earned numerous 'Game of the Year' awards.
