Many have been anticipating the console release of the popular Elder Scrolls MMO. With many making preorders or looking at leveling guide eso pages so that they can progress their new characters in record time. To these people though there is some slight bad news. Bethsoft has announced that the anticipated console port of their Elder Scrolls MMO has been delayed indefinitely for the next six months. The title was originally set for a June 2014 release:

This morning we released the statement below, updating fans on our release plans for
the console versions The Elder Scrolls Online.

We've been grateful to our fans for the wonderful response to our recent launch of
The Elder Scrolls Online for PC/Mac, but we know many of you are eagerly waiting to
play the game on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

We continue to work on the console versions of ESO, and game development has been
progressing steadily, but we are still working to solve a series of unique problems
specific to those platforms. Integrating our systems with each console
manufacturer's networks -- which are both different from the PC/Mac system as well
as different from each other-has been a challenging process. It has become clear
that our planned June release of the console versions isn't going to be possible. 
Though we have made great progress, we have concluded that we'll need about six
months to ensure we deliver the experience our fans expect and deserve.

We know that the news of an ESO console delay is as disappointing to many of you as
it is to us. We want to do what we can to make it up to our fans who want to start
playing now, so we have worked out the following arrangement with Sony and
Microsoft:

Via a special offer, anyone who purchases and plays the PC/Mac version of The Elder
Scrolls Online by the end of June will have the opportunity to transfer their
character(s) to either console version when they are released. The offer will allow
you to begin playing immediately on the PC/Mac, and then add the PS4 or Xbox One
version and transfer the character(s) you have created and developed. And, you don't
have to pay full price for the game twice. For $20, eligible PC and Mac players will
have the option to add a full, digital version of ESO on either the PS4 or the Xbox
One with your character transfer(s), and another 30 days of included game time.

Whether you decide to take advantage of this offer or not, we promise to do
everything we can to get the game released on both consoles as quickly as we can. We
will keep everyone updated with additional details regarding character transfers,
specific offer dates, when you can expect console beta to start, and of course, when
ESO on consoles will launch.

Thank you for your patience and loyal support.


All the best,

Erin
