Speaking to Game Industry, Matt Firor of Zenimax spoke on a number of topics regarding The Elder Scrolls Online, which included fan reactions, consoles and more.
Firor is now in charge of handling the development of the online version of Bethesda’s hit title, and discussed how he’s dealing with fans’ less than enthusiastic response to the news regarding the online version of Elder Scrolls. He stated:
“We’re taking the license and the franchise online and doing something with it that hasn’t been done before, much like the Elder Scrolls novels. But all of those concerns are valid by the community until they actually see it and play it. We’ve taken a lot of effort to make the lore consistent and make sure that it’s the experience that they expect. The places they can go, the characters they can play and the enemies are all based very much on the world that they know, and that’s where it works.”
When quizzed about whether Elder Scrolls Online could ever see a console release, he went on to say:
“There are a lot of rumors swirling around the next-gen coming back together with PCs. I haven’t seen any of that, but I read all the rumor sites just like everyone else. It seems like things are going back to a more standard platform. That being said, we haven’t thought about it heavily right now. The worst thing you can do is worry about new platforms while in development. We want to do what we’re doing right now and then look around for further opportunities. Certainly we’re open to new opportunities, and we’re going to be looking into new territories beyond North America and Europe.”
