Bethesda Softworks and Zenimax Online Studios have both confirmed that The Elder Scrolls Online developed for PS4 and Xbox One has not been cancelled at all.
The Elder Scrolls Online game director Matt Firor denied rumors of the console port’s termination. Formerly, The Elder Scrolls Online was supposed to be out on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on June 2014, but the consoles versions were delayed for six months to give the developer team time to fix the PC version first. Six months passed since and Bethesda continued to refuse to talk about the The Elder Scrolls Online.
The same thing happened with Prey 2, which Bethesda refused to acknowledge until they finally admitted the game was no more. Well, we can rest easy about The Elder Scrolls Online because it is confirmed to be out on both PS4 and Xbox One.
“As I’ve mentioned, we have been (and will continue to be) steadily working on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of ESO. They are playable and fun right now, but there’s still some work to do before we can set an official launch date. First and foremost, we want to make sure that two of our most important systems still in development—the Justice and Champion Systems—are included in the console release. Those two systems will introduce a huge amount of content to the game, and we know everyone is looking forward to the new types of gameplay they provide.
“It’s also important to note that the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of ESO are not just ports of the PC/Mac game. We have completely replaced the PC user interface with a console-specific UI designed from the ground-up with a controller and a living room play experience in mind. We’ve also added voice chat and full integration with XBL and PSN. Expect to see lots of news about our console versions in early 2015.”
The Elder Scrolls Online is available since on PC. It has received a moderate success.
