June Cover Revealed: The Elder Scrolls Online

Long rumored and much anticipated, The Elder Scrolls Online is finally being unveiled in the June issue of Game Informer.

Long rumored and much anticipated, The Elder Scrolls Online is finally being unveiled in the June issue of Game Informer. In this month's cover story we journey across the entire land of Tamriel, from Elsweyr to Skyrim and everywhere in between.

Developed by the team at Zenimax Online Studios, The Elder Scrolls Online merges the unmatched exploration of rich worlds that the franchise is known for with the scale and social aspects of a massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Players will discover an entirely new chapter of Elder Scrolls history in this ambitious world, set a millennium before the events of Skyrim as the daedric prince Molag Bal tries to pull all of Tamriel into his demonic realm.

"It will be extremely rewarding finally to unveil what we have been
developing the last several years," said game director and MMO veteran
Matt Firor, whose previous work includes Mythic's well-received Dark Age
of Camelot. "The entire team is committed to creating the best MMO ever
made – and one that is worthy of The Elder Scrolls franchise."

An in-depth look at everything from solo questing to public dungeons
awaits in our enormous June cover story – as well as a peek at the
player-driven PvP conflict that pits the three player factions against
each other in open-world warfare over the province of Cyrodiil and the
Emperor's throne itself.

Come back tomorrow morning for a brief teaser trailer from Zenimax Online and Bethesda Softworks, and later on in the afternoon for the first screenshotof the game. Over the course of the month, be sure to visit our Elder Scrolls Online hub,
which will feature new exclusive content multiple times each week. You'll meet the three player factions, see video
interviews with the creative leads, and much more.

The Elder Scrolls Online is scheduled to come out in 2013 for both PC and Macintosh.
