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.

Finally!

NO, this makes me rage so hard. TES is all about doing whatever you want to in your own world, without having to worry about other people and how that might affect them. It's sad to see a series that I loved so much fall so far from the golden standard it used to be. Goddamn sellouts.

AHHH CUM EXPLOSION!!!!!JIZZTASTIC!!


Still probably bad as an MMO.And not developed by bethesda themselves=bad.

Finaly! Now this is a game worth buying

Im afraid that in some way it will suck, but i want to believe that it will be the best MMO ever made.

I have high hopes for this, If anything we know that it will have epic Pvp since its being made by the man behind Dark age of Camelot.

Im interested to see exactly which part of the history they will use, and what sides will there be for your choosing

Not gonna get a hard dick from this untill its out and is actually good, but I expect it to be ultimately horrible.

[Overdriven]

Low expectations for sure.

[Tor!]

I fear this means there will be a long wait for a new "proper" single player TES

There are already modders making a multiplayer option for Skyrim and are making some progress though well see if they actually come through with it.

Not, I sense the udders falling off the cash cow soon.

Only thing that matters in Skyrim is the world they created. Quests are horrible. So if BethSoft shares their resources with guys who are making this, it really can't end up worse than Skyrim.

Also, I don't see how will other players ruin your immersion. Skyrim is pretty static game but MMORPGs aren't dynamic either. It's not Warband singleplayer where things happen over time.

Hopefully they'll realize that directional combat is the way to go, I really can't ask for more than that.

It seems they're planning to make a whole continent of Tamriel, I'm pretty sure they'll need every single designer Zenimax Media has under it's command, to finish such demanding task.

Can't be worse than The Old Republic and Diablo 3, that's for sure.

I really wanted multiplayer TES for a very long time because the gameplay could be excellent in coop games. But mmo I'm not sure. Hope they don't mess up, and there are a lot of things they could fail badly. Wandering in towns where there are more guards than normal people already is stupid. But what is more stupid is when you have ten thousand more adventurers than everything else.

You do realize TES Online doesn't mean Skyrim online?
There simply isn't the technology for a MMO with Skyrim-like gameplay, so I doubt it will be much different from every other MMO. Might be a good one at that, though.
