Bethesda Softworks, a ZeniMax media company, has announced that “The Elder Scrolls Online” is now available for PC and Mac at retailers worldwide and on the official online store. Developed by ZeniMax Online Studios, “The Elder Scrolls Online” is the latest chapter in the franchise and brings the legendary experience online for the first time.
“The Elder Scrolls Online” allows gamers to choose their own style of play as they embark upon an epic adventure across all of Tamriel. Players can adventure alone on heroic quests as in previous Elder Scrolls games, explore the huge, rich world with a few friends, or join with hundreds of others in massive Player vs. Player (PvP) battles to save the Empire.
“We are grateful for the overwhelming response to ‘The Elder Scrolls Online’,” said Matt Firor, game director of “The Elder Scrolls Online”. “With five million people registered for beta, it’s clear that a large number of fans are eager to jump online and experience everything the game has to offer. We couldn’t be more excited to get it into everyone’s hands.”
“The Elder Scrolls Online” was named Best Role Playing Game at E3 2013 by the Game Critics, a panel of North American media outlets, and is considered one of the industry’s most anticipated titles for 2014. The previous chapter in this franchise was “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim”, which was released in November 2011. As the sequel 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 numerous ‘Game of the Year’ awards and sold over 20 million copies.
In addition to the PC and Mac release, “The Elder Scrolls Online” is in development for the PlayStation 4 system, and Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft. The Elder Scrolls Online has been rated M for Mature.
