The developers of Elder Scrolls Online announced in a blog post the delay of Greymoor on PS4 and Xbox One. The expansion is set to go online a day later on the consoles.
Why is Greymoor being delayed for consoles? In a blog post (via Elderscrollsonline.com) on the official site, the developers of ESO announced that the release of the Greymoor expansion will no longer take place as planned on June 9.
The reason for this is the fact that the funeral of George Floyd in Houston would take place on the same day. The Black American was killed by a police officer on May 25, leading to numerous protests against police violence.
The developers of ESO wrote:
We are delaying the release of “Greymoor” for PlayStation®4 and Xbox One by one day out of respect for George Floyd and his funeral in Houston on June 9. We believe that it would be inappropriate for us to celebrate the release and distract from more important events on that day.
From the statement on Elderschrollsonline.com
The launch of Greymoor on consoles will therefore be slightly postponed so that it does not overlap with the funeral. PC players can already enjoy the expansion, even though the launch was a disaster.
When is Greymoor coming for consoles? However, the delay will not be long. Already the next day, June 10, console players will continue in the MMORPG.
According to the blog post, maintenance for the patch will begin at 4:00 AM our time and is expected to end 7 hours later at 11:00 AM.
You can pass the time during maintenance by reading the patch notes, which will be available online during that time.
In addition to ESO, several other developers and publishers are postponing their events. This includes, for example, Blizzard, who wanted to present their WoW expansion Shadowlands on June 9.
