There’s been a sign of life for the long-awaited and postponed console port of the MMO The Elder Scrolls Online on the Playstation 4 and the Xbox One.
At the beginning of The Elder Scrolls Online, players looked forward every month to the Producer Matt Firor’s “The Road Ahead” letter, as it provided information on where the game was headed. Back then, it was the primary source of information for the future of the highly regarded game.
That has somewhat settled and changed over time. Last month, there was no letter, and this time it seems pretty thin. The information comes from events like the Guild Summit, where 20 representatives from guilds and communities were gathered (including some Germans) and two days of a cornucopia of information were shared, about what will change in TESO in the coming months.
Even short term, there are now other methods besides the “The Road Ahead” letter to inform players. For Update 5, they recently explained themselves for an hour on the stream show ESO Live.
Most has now been said about The Elder Scrolls Online. The update on the test server, the plans for the future are also set. It’s no wonder then that the letter seemed to hold little surprises.
However, a small fragment in this month’s letter from Firor is still surprising: “We are also continuing to work hard on the console version of the game and can’t wait to give you more information.”
This doesn’t exactly sound like, “we will still make the December deadline,” but after months of silence, it’s at least a sign of life. Soon, more will be known about how Zenimax envisions the future of the game for consoles, which holds a lot of promise. After all, Skyrim has been a real hit on the Xbox and has turned The Elder Scrolls into a console franchise.
The only piece of news from TESO that we haven’t had in recent days is a little thing. The reward for three months of loyalty to The Elder Scrolls Online is known. It’s this little guy here (on the right):
