Loads of people right now are working from home and staying inside playing games (including the Co-Optimus staff). MMO studios are in the same boat, meaning that we’ll see some delays in the coming weeks and months for content related to MMOs. At the same time, they’re doing their best to keep us entertained by offering their regul...

Early last year, we checked out the PC version of The Elder Scrolls Online, the first MMO set in the Elder Scrolls universe and came away quite pleased. While a console version was originally supposed to launch shortly after the PC version of ESO, it got pushed out quite a ways, and eventually Bethesda announced that the console version would arrive concurrent with a subscription-less update of the game known as Tamriel Unlimited. Similar to how Guild Wars has worked, Tamriel Unlimited gives you all of the game's content in return for purchasing the retail box.
Got some not-so-savvy friends you'd like to get hooked on Elder Scrolls Online? Having trouble finding the right words to detail the game's splendor? Don't worry, Bethesda's got your back. In an effort to reel in newbies to the Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited world, the team has released an overview video that spells out the game's basics in slow, sumptuous detail.
