Matthew Pellett visits the home of The Elder Scrolls Online to witness Morrowind’s long-awaited appearance on PlayStation
One word has been looming large over The Elder Scrolls ever since the franchise arrived on PlayStation. More powerful than the strongest of Dragon Shouts bellowed out in Skyrim is the name of the game that many veterans consider to be the pinnacle of the series: Morrowind.
Not heard of it? Now approaching its 15th anniversary, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind skipped PlayStation when it first launched back in 2002, but that didn’t stop it from establishing the framework for all subsequent open world role-playing games. Morrowind was a landmark event in the history of gaming, one that continues to outshine both Oblivion and Skyrim, and thanks to The Elder Scrolls Online its legacy will finally arrive on PS4 – not as a remake or a reimagination of the PC and Xbox original, but as an all-new game set 700 years before the events of TES III.
It’s due on 6 June 2017, three days before TESO’s two-year anniversary on PS4. Sold not through the in-game Crown Store as per every other slice of DLC, but either as a standalone boxed game for newcomers (one that will also include the base TESO: Tamriel Unlimited adventure), or as a premium expansion via PS4’s Store for existing Tamriel travellers, The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind is the next major story chapter for The Elder Scrolls.
