The Elder Scrolls MMOG Announcement in May?

Citing an "industry source that wishes to remain anonymous," Tom's Guide reports a rumor that in May Bethesda Softworks will announce an MMOG based on The Elder Scrolls series of RPGs. The speculative story has few details, but word is the game will take place during the "Second Era" of the series, and will feature three playable factions. Thanks PC Gamer.

In Arena, the provinces were an empty flat stretch of land with an occasional village on it. That's not going to cut it anymore in an MMO. People now want eye candy.

Well, I was talking about the lore, the races, and the associated architecture. I think it's far from "generic", especially when you look at the Medieval-Alien style of Morrowind.

The graphics, of course, would have to be more modern.

Somehow I doubt Bethesda would build every province of Tamriel for an MMO if they have to give it the same level of detail as Oblivion/Skyrim. It'd take them 20 years.

Well... we won't know until it comes out. Totally different Studio... Totally different Engine. I would imagine that they would re-use some of the assets from the last 3 TES games (From the source 3D Studio Max formats) to provide some familiarity.... but then there are still 6 more Provinces to cover.... and both Morrowind and Oblivion didn't cover the complete provinces. Skyrim is about as close as we have gotten to a "Complete Province".
