The Elder Scrolls Online News

The Elder Scrolls Online is free on Epic

The Elder Scrolls Online is free on EGS until 27 July, so you've got just under a week to pick it up, alongside the pretty great puzzler Murder by Numbers. Maybe also make a mental note to check back at the same time next week as the freebies then include true RTS royalty in the form of the Homeworld Remastered Collection, and the stylish FPS Severed Steel, which I haven't played but seems to have pretty great reviews across the board...

The Elder Scrolls Online and Murder By Numbers are currently free to keep on the Epic Games Store

Another week means more freebies are available from the Epic Games Store, and this week two very different games have slashed their price tags. Starting today, The Elder Scrolls Online and Murder By Numbers are both free to keep from the digital store. Something for multiplayer dragon slayers and solo picross lovers alike.

The Elder Scrolls Online is, well, The Elder Scrolls but online. The long-running MMO has been unlocking doors into every corner of Tamriel, most recently with the Necrom expansion’s otherworldly tentacles and massive mushrooms. It's good at accommodating solo players who are looking to scratch a Skyrim-sized itch - since the next Elder Scrolls is at least five years away. That approachability got the game into our list of the ten best MMOs on PC.

On the other end of the humanities versus maths spectrum, we have Murder By Numbers, a murder mystery visual novel where you complete picross puzzles to further the investigation. Plus there's a robo-friend who pulls out a monocle every now and then, which is just plain cute. AliceB said the game was “worth a poke around if you’re a fan of either genre involved,” in our Murder By Numbers review. Even though neither half “are given enough space to breathe,” it should be worth a try for the affordable price of zero pence, though.

Tune in to Twitch.tv/Bethesda as we delve into the Ascent of the Arcanist promotion and create new Arcanist characters!

Join us on Twitch.tv/Bethesda for ESO Live this Friday, July 21 at 2PM EDT, as Senior Community Managers Gina Bruno and Amy Schlueter participate in the Ascent of the Arcanist promotion by leveling up a brand-new character. Even better, you (the community members watching the show) get to help! As the team crafts their new Arcanist, the audience will help choose the new character’s name, race, appearance, abilities, and gear. Together with the ESO community, we’re certain that we can come up with a character worthy of Hermaeus Mora’s myriad blessings.

After the Arcanist is created, the team will then venture into Tamriel to begin leveling them up. Don’t forget, the Ascent of the Arcanist promotion grants all players with a level 10 or higher Arcanist a free Crown Store reward bundle, so all are welcome to log in to the PC/NA realm and level up during the show! This offer is available across all servers and platforms and concludes July 28 at 10AM EDT.

Twitch Drops will be enabled for those watching (link your ESO and Twitch accounts here). Viewers can receive a Gold Coast Experience Scroll (50% EXP boost for one hour) to help you reach level 10 during the promotion, as well as an Ouroboros crate. We’re delving deep into the mysteries of Apocrypha, so be sure to join us on Twitch.tv/Bethesda this Friday, July 21 at 2PM EDT. See you there!

ESO Live is your official Elder Scrolls Online stream, hosted on Twitch.tv/Bethesda by ESO’s Community Team.

If you can't wait for The Elder Scrolls 6, grab ESO while it's free

The Elder Scrolls Online has stood the test of time, improving constantly throughout the years since its initial launch back in 2014. If you haven't yet played the MMORPG, then now could be the perfect opportunity to hop into Tamriel as you await more news from Bethesda on The Elder Scrolls 6. The Elder Scrolls Online is currently free thanks to the Epic Games Store's rotation, along with a hilarious puzzle game, but you're going to have to be quick to snag them both before the platform changes its offered titles.

The Elder Scrolls Online is free for a limited time on the Epic Games Store

The latest freebies have arrived on the Epic Games Store, one of which is a rather fine MMO, and the other has you investigating a range of murders.

Obviously, because it was mentioned in the headline, the MMO is The Elder Scrolls Online. Normally a $20 title, you can grab the massive game this week for nothing out of pocket.

It is worth the download, in our opinion, as we find it a lovely and rather fun game. If you are looking for an MMO with plenty of people to play with, you're in luck because there are tons of folks around.
