Rumor: Elder Scrolls MMO To Be Announced In May
The Elder Scrolls V: SkyrimWell, the format and style is just about right for an MMO, wouldn't you say?
A reader has pointed us in the direction of Tom's Guide, where an inside "industry source" claims that a massively multiplayer online title in The Elder Scrolls universe is in the works at Zenimax Online Studios. Evidently, Bethesda is set to officially announce the game in May.
The title should be simply "Elder Scrolls Online" and it'll actually be set a full millennium before the events that transpire in Skyrim. That means this MMO would be a prequel to any standalone Elder Scrolls up to this point, which ought to be interesting if true. The source also said there'd be three playable factions in the upcoming MMORPG, represented by a lion, dragon, and some unspecified bird of prey. Lastly, the game might show up at E3 this year, so we'll have to keep a close eye on that; it could make quite the splash.
No word on release date or targeted platforms; this could very well be a PC exclusive, but who knows?

The genre isn't very interesting, and the only game that has ever made me play for a considerable amount of time was Guild Wars.
But I can see the potential in this.

But it would be awesome if they include the next gen consoles in this. I'd love me a good mmorpg on my PS4.

Just give us a 2-4 player Co-Op Elder Scrolls game. That way the game could at least retain what has made it so great.

Hey Ben, just my 2 cents.....but I think all contributors should always get credit for any tips & articles, as I think it would go far in letting everyone who does, feel like they've contributed something to this site(I know it does for me).
