The Elder Scrolls Online is coming to next-gen consoles in June. Here is the first trailer. It's awesome!
After a taciturn reception last year, ZeniMax Online Studios and Bethesda are going to try again on next-gen consoles. The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited brings the newest adventure in the series to consoles -- after almost a year of delay. The good news is that you won't need a subscription to play the game when it hits consoles on April 14.
It isn't completely free-to-play, as you still have to buy the game in order to play it. But after that initial purchase, you can enjoy it all you want without the high elves sticking their hands into your pockets. Bethesda hasn't stated what the standard retail price will be for the game.
Check out this VERY AWESOME trailer:
We don't want to be smug, but we pretty much saw it coming. The Elder Scrolls Online didn't receive the reception that we think Bethesda expected, especially since it should be riding Skyrim's ferocious thunder. But maybe that's why it's still alive in the first place.
A few months ago, we wondered why The Elder Scrolls needed an MMORPG in the first place. Is it a rite of passage for big RPG franchises? You decide.
