The Elder Scrolls Online delayed on consoles

Bethesda Softworks has issued a statement today, updating fans on the release plans for the console versions The Elder Scrolls Online.

"We continue to work on the console versions of ESO, but we are still working to solve a series of unique problems specific to those platforms. It has become clear that our planned June release of the console versions isn’t going to be possible. We have concluded that we’ll need about six months to ensure we deliver the experience our fans expect and deserve," said the company.

To help with the wait, the publsher has announced a special offer for players. 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 characters 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 characters you have created and developed.

Further, eligible PC and Mac players will have the option to get the digital version of ESO on either the PS4 or the Xbox One with your character transfers, and another 30 days of included game time, for just $20.

"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."

The Elder Scrolls Online launched in April for PC and was expected on consoles in June.
