"The Elder Scrolls Online" release date for Xbox One and PS4 has been eagerly awaited for quite some time now. Avid players of the game are actually believing for the worst after the release date has been delayed this year.
Reports originally stated a June 2014 release, but that did not happen. New reports are suggesting a December 2014 release could be underway, but Bethesda and ZeniMax have not confirmed anything. And by the looks of it, a release a month from now without any announcements could be close to an impossibility.
The subscription-based MMO has been receiving a lot of flak from the gaming community, and the unconfirmed "The Elder Scrolls Online" release date for Xbox One and PS4 updates seem to fan the flame even more.
However, the game proved that its beaming ray of hope could actually lie on the gamers who actually PAY to play the game online. And recent reports claim that they're quite an impressive number.
Game Rant reported, "According to SuperData, an analysis firm that releases an annual report on the state of the MMO market, The Elder Scrolls has been very successful for ZeniMax Online Studios and Bethesda. As of this writing, their subscriber numbers chart somewhere around 772,374, which is very good for an MMO that was thought to be D.O.A. But it appears the game is doing just fine, and has even expanded its reach to Steam within the last week."
"On top of strong subscriber numbers, The Elder Scrolls Online's average revenue per user is actually ascending - a surprising stat given the state of subscription-based MMOs. In fact, revenue for subscription-based MMOs with microtransactions has been on the rise as a whole, up from 14% to 27% over the last five years."
Could this new development actually hinder the release of the game on consoles so ZeniMax and Bethesda can concentrate on subscription? Or could it inspire them to finally push through with the alleged 2015 release?
Meanwhile, fans who eagerly await the highly anticipated release are sharing their insights online. Gamers are talking about "The Elder Scrolls Online" release date for Xbox One and PS4, and they sure are making some valid points.
