by expanding this year’s tour to include 5 consumer events and 6 college campuses
nationwide.”
Launching prior to the first stop at SXSW, The Elder Scrolls Online Food Truck Tour
companion Facebook App will allow fans to stay up-to-date on times and specific
locations, while also giving them the ability to invite friends, and view and share
photos from each stop. This central hub, located as a tab on The Elder Scrolls
Online Facebook page, is an easy way to stay connected from your desktop or mobile
device.
The Elder Scrolls Online brings the award-winning Elder Scrolls experience online
for the first time. Using ZeniMax Online’s Megaserver technology, players will join
one connected world with a built in social network that lets them stay up-to-date
with everything their friends are doing. Megaserver technology avoids the hassle of
shard selection and makes The Elder Scrolls Online one of the most socially enabled
games ever created. Whether playing alone, or with hundreds of friends, players can
develop their own style of play as they embark upon an epic quest across Tamriel.
The Elder Scrolls Online is slated for release in 2013 and is being developed for
the PC and the Mac by ZeniMax Online Studios.
