Leaked: Gameplay Footage From ‘The Elder Scrolls Online’

This one won’t last long, so if you’re ready for disappointment, watch it quick.

Nearly 20 minutes of gameplay footage from The Elder Scrolls Online have made their way… well, online. The leaked video takes you through the character creation procedure, as well as into the game itself. Sadly, it becomes clear very quickly that in the RPG to MMO changeover, The Elder Scrolls Online has lost much of the charm that previous games in the series were so damn full of. This one looks like an absolutely generic MMO; without the title, you’d have no idea it was an Elder Scrolls game.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, folks. If this is the product of six-years of development, I wouldn’t expect the final release to feel much less generic (though I won’t stop hoping). Maybe the long rumoured Fallout MMO will fare better?

Watch the footage below (while you can), and let us know what you think.
