Elder Scrolls Online director explains why ESO 2 won\u2019t happen ZeniMax Online Studio, DexertoThe Elder Scrolls Online has cemented itself as one of the gaming universe\u2019s premier MMORPGs, but is there an ESO 2 on the horizon? Creative Director Rich Lambert explains why he believes a sequel isn\u2019t necessary. As the MMORPG genre rises to prominence once more following Amazon Games\u2019 New World and the Western release of Smilegate RPG\u2019s Lost Ark, The Elder Scrolls Online is hoping to capitalize on this sudden influx of new players with ESO High Isle; the latest chapter in Tamriel\u2019s story. Allowing players to explore this dazzling, Monaco-esque world (as well as the terrors that lurk beneath it), High Isle opens up a whole new area of the map. Set in the caldera of an ancient volcano, there\u2019s a whole collection of new activities to keep your hero or heroine busy. With MMOs hitting their prime once more, however, all eyes are on what the future holds for The Elder Scrolls Online; specifically, whether or not we\u2019ll see an ESO 2. The game\u2019s Creative Director, Rich Lambert, has opened up on where he sees Bethesda\u2019s iconic franchise heading next; and, spoiler alert, a sequel isn\u2019t it. ESO Creative Director rules out Elder Scrolls Online 2 As The Elder Scrolls Online continues to transform with each expansion, Lambert doesn\u2019t see a need for a sequel to the classic MMO.

Players love it, the game is still growing like crazy; why would we endanger that at this point? Why not just continue to make the game amazing and support the community we have? \u201cWe\u2019re definitely not done,\u201d he concludes. \u201cThere\u2019s lots of locations that we still want to explore, there\u2019s loads of stories that we still want to tell. We\u2019re slowly filling the map out, so that gives you kind of a hint about the future; but we also have a nearly infinite number of realms of Oblivion that haven\u2019t been explored.\u201d Highlighting that there\u2019s \u201cno shortage of things to do and stories to tell,\u201d the future looks bright for ESO and the world of Tamriel. Right now, however, all eyes are on the High Isle and the monsters that lurk beneath its crystalline waters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
