Bethesda has slammed latest The Elder Scrolls console release date rumors.

It was previously reported that a possible February 2015 launch for the MMORPG console version could be in order after Microsoft listed the game with a Feb. 24, 2015 release.

"Sure, it could just be a placeholder date, but it's awfully soon for a placeholder when the store could easily list December. It would also make a certain amount of sense, since the console version was originally slated for last month after its initial delay. So what do you think, readers? Is The Elder Scrolls Online just around the corner for console owners? Or is it just another placeholder date?"Massively asked.

But as Bethesda's Pete Hines told GameSpot, the listing and a few other The Elder Scrolls console release date rumors are unfounded and false.

"We haven't announced a release date." he said. "Beyond that, I can't comment as we don't comment on rumors and speculation."

Meanwhile, A Motoring Crunch article claimed that Bethesda has faced some serious road blocks leading them to delay the anticipated game's release.

"It appears that Bethesda has faced a major obstacle in developing Elder Scrolls Online for the new-gen consoles. The game developer revealed that both the Xbox One and PS4 operate on different complex systems that they have to tailor made Elder Scrolls Online for each console."

"On the downside of things, Bethesda failed to reveal on how long the delay is. Nevertheless, the company assured fans that they can already start playing Elder Scrolls Online on their PCs as the saved file can be brought forward to the Xbox One and PS4 in the future," the article added.

And should a fan wish to purchase the console version of the game, they will be given a good deal at $20/€14.99/£12.99/AU$20. The special price was given to "lessen the burden of owning two copies of the same game."
