"Elder Scrolls Online" for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One has been officially delayed, according to a news release.
The Bethesda game has already launched for PC and Mac, but fans were eager about the status of the title for the next-gen console. "Elder Scrolls Online" will be delayed for six months.
"We continue to work on the console versions of ESO, and game development has been progressing steadily, but we are still working to solve a series of unique problems specific to those platforms," Bethesda stated on their ESO blog. "Integrating our systems with each console manufacturer's networks-which are both different from the PC/Mac system as well as different from each other-has been a challenging process. It has become clear that our planned June release of the console versions isn't going to be possible."
Due to the delay, "Elder Scrolls Online" is offering the opportunity to transfer their PC/Mac characters to the next-gen consoles. Bethesda promised to do "everything they can" to launch the games for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 as quickly as possible.
"The offer will allow you to begin playing immediately on the PC/Mac, and then add the PS4 or Xbox One version and transfer the character(s) you have created and developed," Bethesda said. "And, you don't have to pay full price for the game twice. For $20, eligible PC and Mac players will have the option to add a full, digital version of ESO on either the PS4 or the Xbox One with your character transfer(s), and another 30 days of included game time."
