The Elder Scrolls Online was Bethesda's attempt to move into the market of the MMORPG game, using the lore of their already well-established Elder Scrolls series. It gained a lot of attention because of the name attached to it, the amount of lore that could already be found in previous Elder Scrolls titles and the idea of roaming through lands from all of those previous games combined into one huge map? All very appealing. And now it's coming to Steam.
Announced ahead of the Quakecon weekend, the news was tweeted out from their Twitter account today, Bethesda revealed that the game was coming to the popular distribution platform this day with more details to follow later.
The game itself is universally acknowledged as being okay, if not great. A number of patches have fixed some of the worst game-breaking bugs, but like most MMOs it is a lot more fun with friends playing with you. To be honest though, some of that is down to the amount of hype around the game being very hard for a great many games to live up to. That and being a subscription-based model of game can be a big turn-off for some players.
