Rumor: The Elder Scroll Online for Consoles is Cancelled

Well known internet sleuth and hacker SuperMTW has shared some insider information on the state of The Elder Scrolls Online for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, citing a trusted source inside Bethesda. MTW tells LevelSave that while the game is "fully functional," it will never see the light of day in its current form for a variety of reasons.

Oh...what a shame, I'm hurting inside /s

...

Anyway back to waiting for my pure single player experience with Fallout 4 :)

[typittt69]

Same here. I don't get the disagrees. They need to show us the new evolution of the Bethesda single player RPG. That game looked like shit anyway...

[nicksetzer1]

Yea, I think it was obvious it was cancelled about a year ago lol

Not a huge deal though, as you said a new fallout or actual elder scrolls game without a monthly fee will be much better anyway.

[Rickgrimes95]

Ha I wonder how much money they have lost on this idea. Why couldn't they just do another single player elder scrolls? Skyrim sold like over 20 mil copies if I remember correctly. Was anybody asking for this? I sure wasn't shot themselves in the foot if u ask me rumor has it they've spent 200+ mil on this what a dumb idea

[Magicite]

the most NOT anticipated game.

[leahcim]

of all times!

[Tsar4ever01]

Yeah, Fallout 4 and a remaster of Skyrim for the ps4/Xb1. That is Skyrim legendary edition with the high res pack to match.

This gem of a game is too big and valuable, rich with content to be left in archives of last Gen.

[viperman240]

And nothing of value was lost.

[crusf]

Just give us the next REAL elder scrolls game please.

[Nwah]

Not so soon. I want them to take their time with this one.

[xPhearR3dx]

Not so soon? Skyrim came out exactly 3 years ago today. Bethesda didn't develop ESO, Zenimax did, so a new TES game may not be too far off.

[DOMination-]

They have Fallout first which seems like it might be a fall 2015 game. I honestly don't see a new elder scrolls hitting until 2017

[beastModeOn]

Couldn't care less.

[OUROSMAG]

What's funny is i was just talking about this today, and said "that shit has to be canned, I haven't heard a word about it in months"

[Edi007]

Good news , i want a true elder scroll like skyrim

[Godmars290]

In before someone complains about it. Says its a bad thing.

[Jadenkorr021]

Bethesda the dev will come oyt with fallout next not elder scrolls. The do one tgen the other. Last was skyrim. It will be fallout this time

[Scatpants]

The game sucks anyway

[Cy]

Eh, I was looking forward to seeing how it would be on consoles but if it never went free to play I was never gonna buy it anyway. Slightly disappointing, companies should know better than to launch subscription MMO's when their user base wants single player RPG's.

[St0rm_Cr0w]

GOOD! Now use your "super sleuthing skills" and "trusted insider" and find out whether Fallout 4 exists or not! NOW!

[Dyldog69]

Don't need elder scrolls 5.5. How about elder scrolls 6 next gen and PC only? Campaign only?

[The7Reaper]

Man I;m so disappointed wow that hurt me I mean there's no other games coming out anytime soon that can replace lol who cares

[pkb79]

If the game is fully functional why would they not release as a free to play and at least break even with some micro transactions?

[MadLad]

Because running an MMO takes a lot of manpower and money.
It's an endeaver just to bring it to consoles, and it's failing on PC as is.
It may very well cost them money to do such things, honestly.

[rdgneoz3]

Because they have to have different servers per system, as MS doesn't want gamers to play with each other (FF XIV has PC, PS3, and PS4 players on the same servers, so it can be done). That means more money keeping the servers up and running.

Also, "but also that the infrastructure to support monthly subscription based access isn’t properly supported. While Microsoft recently added the capabilities with Electronic Arts’ “EA Access” service, Sony’s PlayStation 4 has no form of support for subscription based monthly access."

Seeing as FF XIV has a subscription based monthly access (not including DC universe' monthly sub in addition to F2P), not sure how accurate the rumor may be.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

In the article it mentions the game being restructured as free to play and eventually released on consoles along with a huge update.

[Riderz1337]

who cares

[MadLad]

The funny thing is, I was calling this thing a stinker long before its official release, and all I received was hate and people saying I don't know what I am talking about, or that the game will be better come release.

And now, after all this time, the thing is doing so bad it may not even see a release outside of the PC.
Now the thing just needs to go free to play come summer next year and I'll be three for three.

[Xavior_Reigns]

No surprise and don't think anyone cares. We do care for anything Fallout 4 or Elder Scroll 6 or of course a new IP.

[lemoncake]

Shame if it doesn't come to console at some point because it isn't the huge steaming pile of turd most people make it out to be, it's actually quite fun to play.

[Revengeance]

Good. Let it stay on PC. We don't need that garbage game on consoles.

[MadLad]

You speak as though you find consoles on some higher level.
To be honest, this generation has been starved for releases at the moment, and I really wouldn't be too choosy.
Outside of the WiiU, Xbox is just now coming into its own, whereas Playstation still leaves its players waiting.
