The Elder Scrolls Online delayed by half a year on next gen

3.8
Bethesda confirmed today it has delayed both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 iterations of their recent PC MMO "The Elder Scrolls Online" due to the "challenging process" of addressing the number of issues relevant to an MMO of this caliber being released on consoles. In a apparent stop gap to halt fan rage Bethesda has also announced a special offer for those who already own a PC or Mac copy of ESO, the offer will enable those individuals to claim a digital version of the title on either the Xbox or PS4 for $20 USD.

We continue to work on the console versions of ESO, and game development has been progressing steadily but we are still working to solve a series of unique problems specific to those platforms. Integrating our systems with each console manufacturer's networks -- which are both different from the PC/Mac system as well as different from each other-has been a challenging process. It has become clear that our planned June release of the console versions isn't going to be possible. Though we have made great progress, we have concluded that we'll need about six months to ensure we deliver the experience our fans expect and deserve.Bethesda

Zeitgeist I have to say I'm really F***** annoyed about this. The only game to actually look like i will play a decent amount. Theres F*** all games out for the Xbox one and until Sept when destiny comes out theres gunna be nothing decent out till Christmas. Why bother releasing the Xbox one in Nov 13 then releasing like 10 **** games till the following Christmas. I might have well waited a whole year and bought the X1 with a discount at Xmas 14 where i had at least a few games to choose from. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


This is so true. I bought mine hoping all these games would come out on time, but ohh no lets wait longer to release them. Very annoyed by all this.


Can you really say you didn't see this coming? New system, software, companies are going to try their best but yet need time.
