Latest The Elder Scrolls Online free to play and console release date updates reveal what industry experts think 2015 holds for the popular MMORPG title.
Folks over at Massively gave their bold predictions about the game. Majority thinks that TESO will eventually go FTP, with some being hopeful that the console version will bring back the game's lost glory. Here's what they had to say:
Justin Olivetti said, "Elder Scrolls Online will finally come to consoles in the spring and be so well-received that it will make up for the long wait and will propel that title back into the spotlight." Eliot Lefebvre disagreed, saying: WildStar and The Elder Scrolls Online both make the free-to-play leap and ESO's console launch gets quietly shoved under the rug."
Larry Everett offered a detailed prediction: "I'm hopeful for WildStar and Elder Scrolls Online to make a turn around. I enjoyed different aspects of each game, but if I were to make a prediction regarding both them, I'd say the one that has the biggest chance of turning around is Elder Scrolls. The IP for ESO obviously has a great following, but I think the clincher for that game turning itself around will be things like the Justice system. When the game launched, I don't believe the designers had a firm grasp on what it took to make a good MMO, but now that they've had time to get their feet wet, they will put out content that MMO players and Elder Scrolls fans will both enjoy. Will it go free-to-play? I don't think it will until they launch the game for console, and then it will not be a true free-to-play (not even a hybrid like Star Wars: The Old Republic) but a trial like World of Warcraft."
