The Elder Scrolls Online is Bethesda's persistent, multiplayer take on a series best known for solitary single-player wandering. Set roughly a thousand years before Skyrim, it hands players a shared Tamriel to explore alongside thousands of others, then keeps expanding it. This collection gathers the 2014 launch with the Morrowind, Summerset, and Elsweyr chapters, each one bolting a new region and storyline onto the live world: the ashen island of Vvardenfell, the long-closed High Elf homeland, and the Khajiit savannahs under threat from returning dragons.
The trade-off the MMO format forces is familiar. The scale and the company of other players come at some cost to the intimate, go-anywhere solitude the mainline games are loved for. What holds it together is Tamriel itself, a setting deep enough to carry years of episodic additions. This is a games-only branch of the franchise, built to grow rather than conclude.
The The Elder Scrolls Online franchise spans 4 games in the CrossBinge catalog.
