According to a new report on Tom’s Guide, an “industry source” says Bethesda will be announcing an MMO in The Elder Scrolls series this May. Fans have long been clamouring for an MMO set in the TES universe, and if this is true, they’re gonna go berserk.
The report says the game will be called The Elder Scrolls Online (how imaginative) and will be set “several hundred years before” the events of previous games of the franchise. The game will feature three factions, represented by crests of a lion, a dragon and a “bird of prey.”
TES Online will be given extensive coverage during E3 as well as Quakecon, where, according to the report, it’ll be sharing the limelight with Doom 4.
The report also points out that Bethesda’s parent company, Zenimax, is “currently working on an unannounced Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) title from its headquarters in Hunt Valley, Maryland.” The report didn’t mention any platforms, but we’re guessing it will be for the PC only.
It sure sounds legit, but we don’t know anything for sure. So stay tuned for future updates.
This sandbox fun-shooter allows players to create worlds and maps that they’ve always dreamed of, brick by brick. They can share these virtual playgrounds with the community and use them as the backdrop for fast-paced shooter hunts against fellow players or computerized opponents.
The ‘shooter’ mode is an action orientated platform with a range of different game types which will be familiar to fans of team-based shooters. Classic modes such as Team and Solo Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and Blast Mode are all in place.The ‘sandbox’ mode, in which players use simple building blocks to construct complex environments, can be played on social networks and mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. With a range of different brick styles to choose from, combined with the possibility to place key interactive elements such as turrets or bomb sites, players will find themselves challenged in numerous creative ways.
Players will find themselves stepping into the shoes of both map builder and game designer. They will have the opportunity to dazzle their team mates with creativity, and the most talented map designers will be rewarded handsomely for their efforts.
Players can choose from a wide variety of different guns, weapons and armor with different stats and functions.
Challenges deployed by the map creators must be overcome using teamwork, skill and reactions to defeat opposing teams. Social features such as a clan system have been integrated, allowing gamers to team up with their friends and compete for fame and glory.
