The Elder Scrolls Online dev has heard your ESO Plus feedback, but it’s a “tough conversation” to have right now
The Elder Scrolls Online‘s new seasonal model is one of its biggest shakeups yet. By rethinking rewards, adding in a new battle pass system, and making all future (and some past) gameplay content free for all players, it aims to future-proof itself further as it strives to become a “30-year MMO.” Zenimax Online Studios has […]

The Elder Scrolls Online is ditching yearly expansions and folding its premium content into the base game, but it’s also gaining a battle pass
Back in September, studio game director Rich Lambert told GamesIndustry.biz that the Elder Scrolls Online team were exploring a move from big expansions to smaller, more frequent updates.

The Elder Scrolls 6 can top Skyrim with a killer intro
In these days of shrinking attention spans, the success of a game is too often determined by its overture: you either capture the audience during those crucial early minutes, or you never get another chance. Developer Bethesda understood this quite some time ago, and since 1992, dramatic openings have been one of the most notable […]
