The Elder Scrolls Online wraps up its fifth year of live operation

How was your year of gaming in Elder Scrolls Online? If you were a denizen of Tamriel, chances are you’ve gone on many fantastic adventures, mostly involving necromany and giant flying lizards. Creative Director Rich Lambert put a cap on the year with a look back at what the game did right (content rollout) and what it struggled with (performance issues) over the past 12 months. Generally, he sounds pleased.

“As it was our five-year anniversary, we wanted 2019 to be big and memorable,” Lambert said. “It featured a massive year-long adventure that focused on the homeland of the Khajiit, Dragons, and the new Necromancer class. This was the first time we’d combined all of the year’s releases (Wrathstone, Elsweyr, Scalebreaker, and Dragonhold) into a single, continuous narrative, and we’re thrilled with all of the positive reactions to it.”

We might be biased, but we think that our own 2019 Elder Scrolls Online retrospective went into vastly more depth. “This MMO does not appear to be slowing down,” said our Ben Griggs.

Lambert once again teased the upcoming reveal of the “Dark Heart of Skyrim” on January 16th while also sharing his freaky tattoo experience that is probably best not viewed by our readers with a needle phobia:
