Elder Scrolls Online Release Date: Available Early Next Year? Speculation Points to Early 2014 Release For Game

Elder Scrolls Online is set to release in early 2014, Games.com reports, leaving many fans wondering if it will be available next January.

"With the game set to release in early 2014, it should be interesting to see what the population is like on each platform, but if games such as DC Universe Online can support a healthy population on the PlayStation 3 (and soon to be PS4), it's at least possible to see ESO having the same success," Games.com reports.

"Of course, DCUO is free-to-play, and that could make all the difference. Again, we'll have to wait and see how thing work out. The game is great, so success is certainly expected."

The Elder Scrolls Online has finished a Emote Creation Contest, naming Trevor Baggett as the winner of the contest., Joystiq.com reports.

Trevor's concept was a twin set of emotions for PvP, one to desecrate an annoying foe's corpse and one to honor a well-fought match - he'll be working with ZeniMax's animators to implement the emotes into the game, Joystiq.com also reports.

Users will be able to mix and match heavy armor plates with different hoods and boots, Zenimax revealed during a recent question and answer interview, giving gamers more mix and match opportunities.

"You will be able to mix and match as you see fit. We do have sets of armor and weapons that confer special bonuses to you when you wear three or more items from that set. Also, if you have gained passive skills in certain armor skill lines, you'll also get a larger bonus when you wear more armor of that type," Zenimax said in a response.

"And, of course, you may find an individual piece of armor with a bonus trait or enchantment you really like. There will be many choices about how you gear yourself in ESO, with no "right" choice for everyone."

The interview also answered a lot of questions regarding the Daggerfall Covenant faction, orcs and different locations that are thought to exist in the game, ScreenCrush.com reports.

The developer confirmed that players can adventure around the Alik'r Desert town of Tava's Blessing, which is the settlement that predates the city of Lainlyn, ScreenCrush.com also reports.
