Bethesda Softworks, the publishers of MMORPG video game The Elder Scrolls Online, have released its latest patch 1.0.8, adding numerous fixes and blockers. Fixes have been added to combat and gameplay, Mac client, Quests and UI.
The game, set in Tamriel, allows players to have four classes which include Dragon Knight, Templar, Sorcerer, and Nightblade. The gameplay is a mixture of quests, random events and exploration.
Meanwhile, Bethesda has also confirmed that The Elder Scrolls Online will be delayed by six months. The game was supposed to be launched on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The studio said that the delay was caused due to some of the challenges faced during the adaptation of the game from PC to next-generation consoles.
"Integrating our systems with each console manufacturer's networks - which are both different from the PC/Mac system as well as different from each other - has been a challenging process," said the company, Digital Trends reported.
ZeniMax Online Studios had previously stated that it will give players of Elder Scrolls Online five days of free game time as a gratitude to players after the servers had to be taken offline, following launch issues.
"In recognition of this experience and to show our gratitude to everyone who supported the launch, we are giving an additional five days of included game time to every ESO player who set up an active account prior to 8pm EDT Thursday May 1st and who are currently enjoying their 30 days of included game time. If you're eligible to receive the five additional days, a confirmation will be sent to your account's registered email address," said ZemiMax in a post on its official website.
The game was released on 4 April for PC and Mac.
