[Update] Bethesda has confirmed that The Elder Scrolls Online has been delayed six months for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
In an effort to make up for the delay, the publisher is running an offer that will provide those who purchase the game on PC/Mac by the end of June access to a digital version for Xbox One or PS4 for $20.
[Original] Bethesda's new MMO set in the Elder Scrolls universe appears to be getting a six-month delay for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
According to an online store FAQ for The Elder Scrolls Online, the console versions of the game will require an additional six months of development time before they're ready for release.
The Elder Scrolls Online officially launched on April 4, 2014 on PC and Mac. While it has become clear that our planned June release of the console versions isn't going to be possible, we have made great progress, we have concluded that we'll need about six more months to ensure we deliver the experience our fans expect and deserve.
The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions were supposed to launch in June, so that pegs the game's release at sometime this coming winter. I hope for Bethesda's sake that interest in the MMO hasn't completely fizzled out by then.
