What Is Eso?
The Elder Scrolls Online, commonly referred to as ESO, is an expansive and immersive massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by ZeniMax Online Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It made its debut in April 2014, initially launching for Windows and macOS platforms, and is an integral part of the renowned Elder Scrolls series, renowned for its rich lore and captivating gameplay.
Set within the vast and intricate continent of Tamriel, the game boasts a compelling narrative that indirectly intertwines with the overarching storylines of other titles within the Elder Scrolls franchise. The development process spanned an impressive seven years, culminating in its highly anticipated release. Initially, the game employed a mandatory monthly subscription model, which garnered a mixed reception from players and critics alike.
However, the reception experienced a significant upturn with the March 2015 re-release and rebranding of the game as The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited. This marked a transition to a buy-to-play model, allowing players to access the game with a one-time purchase and providing the option for microtransactions and an optional subscription for enhanced benefits.
Expanding its availability, the game was subsequently released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles in June 2015, followed by its launch on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms in June 2021. Remarkably, the game has achieved considerable success, having sold over 15 million copies by 2020, with a robust player base boasting approximately 2.5 million monthly active players in 2017, further solidifying its enduring popularity.
