The Elder Scrolls Online delayed by half a year on next gen

3.8
Bethesda confirmed today it has delayed both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 iterations of their recent PC MMO "The Elder Scrolls Online" due to the "challenging process" of addressing the number of issues relevant to an MMO of this caliber being released on consoles. In a apparent stop gap to halt fan rage Bethesda has also announced a special offer for those who already own a PC or Mac copy of ESO, the offer will enable those individuals to claim a digital version of the title on either the Xbox or PS4 for $20 USD.

We continue to work on the console versions of ESO, and game development has been progressing steadily but we are still working to solve a series of unique problems specific to those platforms. Integrating our systems with each console manufacturer's networks -- which are both different from the PC/Mac system as well as different from each other-has been a challenging process. It has become clear that our planned June release of the console versions isn't going to be possible. Though we have made great progress, we have concluded that we'll need about six months to ensure we deliver the experience our fans expect and deserve.Bethesda

Respite i can wait for this game because it gives me time to save up so i can have membership for an year!


You will not have to because by the time it gets to consoles it will be F2P.


I highly doubt it will be F2P mate. They have worked so hard on this.

Hopefully this delay will stop it from being a potential train wreck, the last thing I want is another BF4 at launch, we all know how that was.

Miss Probably means they're improving it. Fans are going to be mad though.
