Elder Scrolls Online Pre-Order on Imperial Edition Shows Up at 20% Off
Bethesda’s upcoming MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online pre-orders are now available and will hit the PC digital shelves on April 4th of this year. Today Bethesda announced details on an upgraded and more expensive Imperial Edition, prompting the PC digital retailer GameFly to sell both the Standard and Imperial Edition on their site. What’s notable about that is GameFly has a near-sitewide coupon code, offering the first ever pre-order discount for both the Standard Edition and the Imperial Edition.

The Elder Scrolls Online will also release on the PS4 and Xbox One, but you’ll have to wait until June 30th. Sucks for console gamers or a savings grace as there’s always a vocal minority against a subscription based MMORPG. Will ESO be the next big MMO hit, reviving a genre that’s quickly going the way of free to play? Or will it struggle to gain a player base, quickly switching to a F2P model like most modern MMOs. Time will tell.
