This press release officially announces The Elder Scrolls Online, the just-revealed MMOG. The announcement offers a bit more on the game:

Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax® Media company, today announced The Elder Scrolls® Online, an MMO in development at ZeniMax Online Studios. The Elder Scrolls Online will be the first Elder Scrolls game to allow gamers to explore the legendary Elder Scrolls world with others.

The Elder Scrolls Online is being developed for PC and Mac under the leadership of industry veteran Matt Firor, who has spent the last two decades working in online game development. Details about the game are revealed in an exclusive cover story in Game Informer®'s June issue, which ships to subscribers and newsstands this month.

"We have been working hard to create an online world in which players will be able to experience the epic Elder Scrolls universe with their friends, something fans have long said they wanted," said Matt Firor, game director of The Elder Scrolls Online. "It will be extremely rewarding finally to unveil what we have been developing the last several years. The entire team is committed to creating the best MMO ever made - and one that is worthy of The Elder Scrolls franchise."

I wouldn't worry about the future of the singleplayer Elder Scrolls franchise. Hey thanks for that NKD. Not being a multiplayer gamer that was my primary worry. No more SP ES games for a long while. Still, I have to worry that they'll hold off on them to boost sales for the MMO. Jonesing for some new ES action? We've got your game right here and it's the only game in town.
