The Elder Scrolls Online beta signups now open

Newsbrief: The Elder Scrolls Online, the first MMO title based on Bethesda's popular fantasy RPG series, is currently accepting signups for an upcoming beta period. The game was first announced in May of last year, and is due for release later this year. It will be the first multiplayer version for the critically-acclaimed and commercially successful franchise since its debut 19 years ago. Bethesda says that its Megaserver technology will allow players to join a single connected world with a built-in social network, meaning that you can keep up to date with everything that your friends are doing in-game. Interested parties can sign up for the beta on the official website.
