Matt Firor, director ofElder Scrolls Onlinetook some time today on theirofficial siteto take a look at the year ahead and give players a preview of what to expect for the coming year. 2015 was a fantastic year for the game, with the console release helping to infuse “millions of players” into the world, creating a very busy online experience. After acknowledging the successes of the past year, Firor laid out what to expect for 2016. Let’s look at the highlights.

Addressing some often asked questions from the players, Firor stated that they will not be adding in a PvP component to the Justice system as it would be too hard to maintain a sense of fun for the players.

Spellcrafting was the final question addressed, and it seems it’s to be shelved for now but they remain optimistic about its future.
That’s a hefty agenda for the coming year! The game was present on many people’s best games lists and it is carrying a solid momentum into 2016. What are your thoughts on all the changes coming this year?
