Elder Scrolls Online Review, Classes, Beta [NEWS]: Update 2 Release? ZeniMax Launches New Version On Public Test Server

Elder Scrolls Online's Update 2 is currently on the public test server, Joystiq.com reports.

Craglorn is "proof that Elder Scrolls Online is growing up," IGN writes in a review of the game, leaving many gamers wondering if the new launch ha been able to save the series from failure.

"The initial launch found the game wrestling over its identity as an MMORPG while attempting to honor its single-player origins; this, the first major content patch, sees it embracing its core multiplayer nature with open arms," the website writes.

"There's still a story to follow here featuring constellations that drop down from the sky and grant quests and dubious loot, but it never overpowers the overarching drive to buddy up with fellow adventurers and kick whatever asses need kicking."

Elder Scrolls Online developer Bethesda released a statement explaining the game's Playstation 4 and Xbox One delay-it has drawn a number of criticisms from next-generation console fans.

"We're not happy about it -- obviously we much rather have the console version out in June," Bethesda Vice President of Public Relations and Marketing Pete Hines said, according to CVG.

"But it seemed like the right thing to do, and we did spend a little time working with the console folks to try to come up with some kind of a thing so that the folks who couldn't play it could buy the PC version and then add a next-gen console version later for a lot less money. That seemed like something that was worth working on before we announced the delay."

Elder Scrolls Online "Craglorn" fans have brought their frustrations with the newly released game on forums to complain about specs and features.

"The story seems nice and creative, unfortunately, it seems people only want to farm mobs in there, and as a result, I could not progress very far. But I think the story started well, shame I'll never see how it goes, as I refuse to have to organize things to be able to do something as basic as questing," said user Squishy on May 25 via the Elder Scrolls Online official forum, the Epoch Times reports.
