Elder Scrolls Online a Go — Goodbye Outside World!
November 8, 2007 1:20 pm Industry News
Denying that you’re going online when you’ve registered ElderScrollsOnline.com is kinda silly, but what the heck, Bethesda did that. When their parent company, ZeniMax, swaggered online and procured that site, there was little doubt what was happening. And, after a paltry few days of denying the inevitable…wait for it…Bethesda’s Pete Hines confirmed that an MMORPG of Elder Scrolls is gonna happen!
Shocking, I know.
He says that they have already put $300 million into this project.
He also went on to say, “I don’t think that this funding changes our focus in terms of what we are about and are trying to accomplish. The additional resources will allow us to expand our publishing efforts-both our own titles and those of other studios-and to pursue development of more titles, working with internal and external development teams.”
What does it all mean? Well, it means that I might finally venture deeper in to the online gaming community. I mean…having lost many of my formative years playing the early Elder Scrolls games and then to see the big deal about Morrowind (finally, the general public caught on), I think that they’ve already got at least one person ready to roll and more than likely many people.
Let’s do this thang!
