Elder Scrolls MMO rumours gather pace

Bethesda sister company follows BioWare and coughs up for MMO solution HeroEngine
Rumours of an Elder Scrolls MMO have taken a fresh turn following the licensing of MMO tech HeroEngine by Bethesda sister company ZeniMax Online Studios.

ZeniMax Online has been set up to focus purely on development in the massively multilayer online arena.

HeroEngine has also been licensed by BioWare for its still top secret MMO, which rumours have said is set in the world of KOTOR.

What's HeroEngine?

Creator SimuTronics explains, "HeroEngine is an MMO development team's dream come true - it streamlines the entire process of building your MMO game. Artists, world builders, scripters, game designers, producers, and customer service can all collaborate live, online, in real-time.

"Create and update your game faster, with more time to focus on the fun rather than waiting for code to crunch. Build the game and play it at the same time to see instant results."

Bethesda of course still has yet to confirm any MMO games, but recently the company's registration of elderscrollsonline.com kicked off loads of speculation.

Oh great more single player experiences turning into MMO's Rolling Eyes

Can I ask something devs? In 2-3 years time are they going to be any great single player games left?

Well, it's a gamble. If they can pull it off, it could be the MMO event of the year. (WoW expansions excluded, of course)

Unless its free i'm not interested, there is not an mmo out there that is worth the subscription fee, including wow.

Completely, the article mentions two of the greatest single player franchises of the past few years, Elder Scrolls and KOTOR. They work because they're single player, if you introduce an MMO in KOTOR particularly you're losing out on one of the most highly anticipated games ever, as well as ruining the so-called trilogy!

Yep, i do hope it isnt the end of the single player games from both these series.

Im actually still playing Oblivion for the PC, just started a new character not long ago and im still finding new things to do despite the many hours i have plowed into the game Very Happy
