Bethesda & Zenimax Online Studios’ massively multiplayer role-playing game, The Elder Scrolls Online launches today and to mark the occasion they released a cinematic/launch trailer.
“Tamriel faces annihilation. Molag Bal has claimed the Imperial City while the alliances, locked in a bitter conflict with one another, struggle to seize the Ruby Throne from the clutches of Oblivion. The latest chapter in our cinematic series takes you to the ravaged battlefield of Cyrodiil.”
“I am incredibly proud of the team that has been working hard to bring Tamriel to life online and am extremely grateful for everyone in the ever-growing ESO community, said game director Matt Firor.
Making a AAA online RPG with the scope and scale of The Elder Scrolls Online is a daunting development effort, and we couldn’t have done it without our talented team and the most supportive fans in the world. Thanks for helping us reach this day.”
He adds, “Development doesn’t stop here. Soon we’ll be unveiling Craglorn, our first Veteran-level, end-game zone tailored for small and large groups which offers lots more hours of gameplay and new areas to explore – and we’ll continue to add new systems and exciting content regularly.
And of course, we are still hard-at-work on the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game as well. I sincerely hope everyone has as much fun playing the game as we had making it.
You are in for a thrilling journey, and as this is the first Elder Scrolls game to go online, we hope you share the fun by making friends — whether you’re joining groups and guilds or fighting hundreds of enemy players on the battlefield.
We’ll definitely be out there with you – see you in Tamriel! And stay tuned for all the new and exciting things we’ll have to share with you in the coming weeks and months. This is only the beginning.”
The Elder Scrolls Online is available now for PC and Mac. Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version will launch in June 2014.
