According to a report from Game Informer magazine, Bethesda will release a massively multiplayer online version of its popular The Elder Scrolls series next year for PC and Macintosh.
Set a millennium before the events of Bethesda’s last The Elder Scrolls game Skyrim, The Elder Scrolls Online will take place across all of Tamriel during a time in which daedric prince Molag Bal is wreaking havoc on the realm. The game will feature three player factions and PvP combat, as well as allow the players to traverse across the entire world of The Elder Scrolls.

More details will be revealed when next month’s issue of Game Informer goes on sale next week.
