Check out our review of The Elder Scrolls Online.
The Elder Scrolls Online is set to launch for Mac and PC on April 4, 2014, Bethesda confirms. The planned PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions will follow sometime in June 2014.
The upcoming game marks Bethesda’s first foray into the realm of massively multiplayer gaming, compliments of ZeniMax Online Studios. It fuses the open world approach of past Elder Scrolls titles with the long-asked-for inclusion of multiplayer-driven adventuring. The game’s story is set 1,000 years before the events of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, during a time of great strife. Three main factions do battle with one another for control of the lands, all while the Daedric prince Molag Bal tries to mess things up for everyone. Check out or pre-E3 preview for more on the game.
Unlike many new MMO titles (and some older ones) that have embraced the free-to-play business model in some form or another, Bethesda is going with an up-front cost coupled with a monthly $14.99 subscription.
Bethesda released a new trailer for The Elder Scrolls Online to celebrate the release date news. You can check it out below.

The hook is familiar, your choices matter, people notice, and consequences linger. The difference is scale. This is a fully open world take, with townsfolk on routines who respond to what you do, even when you think no one’s watching. It’s still chasing that mix of heroics, petty crime, and dry British humor, only with modern action RPG muscle.

Nintendo first teased the Talking Flower during a Nintendo Direct showcase last September. The company has now shared more details about the product, and confirmed when it will officially go on sale. Based on the flowers in the Super Mario Bros. Wonder game, the Talking Flower is exactly what its name suggests: a potted flower that speaks around twice per hour, delivering lines like "Sometimes it's nice to space out" or "Bowser and his buds can't get us here, right?"
