Bethesda Softworks has delayed the PS4 and Xbox One versions of The Elder Scrolls Online. In a statement, the company stated the console release has been pushed back “about six months,” citing “a series of unique problems specific to those platforms.”
The company added that, as compensation, anyone who picks up and plays the PC/Mac version by the end of June will be able to transfer their characters to the console versions when they are released. For $20, those players will be able to add a digital version to their console of choice, along with another free 30 days of game time.

An update for Dishonored‘s Game of the Year edition page on Amazon accidentally showed details for a special edition of The Elder Scrolls Online instead. While the mistake has since been corrected, the ‘update’ revealed that the TES Online Imperial Edition will include a collector’s edition box and steelbook packaging, a 12″ figurine of Molag Bal, a map of Tamriel, a 224-page illustrated guidebook, and exclusive digital content. No price was listed on the image.

Bethesda Softworks confirmed that The Elder Scrolls Online will use a monthly subscription model, priced at $14.99 USD per month. Explaining the decision, ZeniMax Studios game director Matt Firor remarked on the series’ free-roaming sandbox roots, adding that “putting pay gates between the player and content at any point in game ruins that feeling of freedom, and just having one small monthly fee for 100% access to the game fits the IP and the game much better.”

Bethseda Softworks announced that The Elder Scrolls Online will be coming to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in Spring 2014 in addition to the PC and Mac versions. They’ll be doing an exclusive Beta run on PS4, though a date for this was not announced.
PC patch notes for Skyrim 1.9b contain the usual laundry list of bugfixes and tweaks, but along with that was the implementation of Legendary skills. That is, skills that reach 100 can be designated as Legendary, which “reset the skill to 15, return its Perks and allow the skill to affect leveling again. This effectively removes the overall level cap.”
Presumably there is some benefit to doing so, though the patch notes do not go into detail. See the full list of changes for yourself here.
Skyrim‘s DLC will at last be hitting all platforms. Dragonborn will launch on the PC starting February 5, while all content (including Dawnguard and Hearthfire) will become available on the PS3 later that same month. While specific dates were not given for the PS3 versions, Bethesda did state that the 1.8 update will precede Dragonborn, which will be the first DLC to hit the platform.

Feel free to double-take: Bethesda announced that the Dragonborn DLC for Skyrim will be out early next year. Yes, that includes the PS3 version, and unfortunately it is unclear if this means earlier DLC for the PS3 is closer to being ready. When asked, Bethesda said only that “We’re not done with content for Skyrim. When we’re ready to share more details, we’ll update everyone.” Continue reading ‘Skyrim: Dragonborn Dated for All Platforms’ »
After little in the way of news regarding Skyrim DLC on PS3, Bethesda offered some hope that the issue is coming to a close.

We think you’ll love the new stuff. We know it takes us time and thanks for all your support and patience!”

Skyrim: Dragonborn has been confirmed, with the DLC scheduled for a 360 release on December 4 for 1600 MS funbucks. No PC or PS3 dates were given. As the title suggests, the content centers around another Dragonborn, specifically the very first one. Currently known only as the Dragonbeast, it intends to make a dramatic return to the land of Solstheim, which it once ruled.
Check out the official trailer here. No, seriously, check it out. That looks an awful lot like a dragon mount, my friends.
A retail listing on Amazon Germany preemptively revealed a Premium Edition for Skyrim, planned to launch in December.

The package reportedly includes a world map, t-shirt with the Empire insignia, an Elder Scrolls novel titled “Hell City,” and six concept art postcards. Notably absent from the listing was any mention of DLC.
