BethesdaThe Elder Scrolls Online has been announced by Bethesda. It is in development at Zenimax Online Studios, and is being developed for PC and Mac under the leadership of Matt Firor, who has spent the last two decades working in online game development.

“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.”

According to Game Informer, The Elder Scrolls Online is set a millennium before the events of Skyrim and concerns the daedric prince Molag Bal trying to pull all of Tamriel into his demonic realm. The Elder Scrolls Online will feature "player-driven" PvP that pits the three player factions against each other in open-world warfare over the province of Cyrodiil and the Emperor's throne.

Further details are scant right now, but expect a screenshot later today and a teaser trailer tomorrow.

    This will most likely mess up the TES lore so much that you won't even recognize it as being from the same universe. This is very sad news for true TES fans, especially ones that aren't into MMO's, and I'll be suprised if they don't come out with a console version. All that said, it will probably be the best MMO even if the experience will be nothing comparable to a personal role playing experience.

    But this could also be a chance to revive all the things that Bethesda for some reason took out of the universe for no apparent reason such as spears, crossbows, flails, centaurs, every magic spell that has been removed since Arena, etc., but I will be pissed if they don't keep the same and familiar province structure that fans have come to know in Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim which are much better than any MMO experience could be.

    This sounds good for the fanboys who were waiting for an Elder Scrolls MMO,I just hope they don;t shrink the characters down so Oblivion resembles the WOW or Diablo games.I really hope the Characters stay the same size as they are in Oblivion.

    So since Bethesda is a smaller company we can expect The Elder Scrolls: 6 (Single player game) in 2025?

    All I can hope is that they DON'T use the Skyrim / Fallout game engine. Go ahead and take concepts from it, yet those game engines are notorious for bugs and crashes, regardless the system they're played on.
