So what’s the big deal, some of you might ask? Speaking to the folks at Game Informer, the game’s director Matt Firor revealed that this new engine was created specifically for Elder Scrolls Online. Not only would this engine make the game “tighter and more stable”, but will allow the game to run on a wide variety of systems.
“Our plan is to have ESO run on just about any PC or Mac – laptops included – that have been bought in the last five years. Of course the better your computer’s graphics capability, the better the game looks, but we want to be sure that just about anyone can play the game and have a great time exploring Tamriel.”
Sounds great! Gamers if you have a rig that has been bought/built in the 5 year time frame, it looks like you guys will have no issues (assuming you meet the minimum hardware requirements) playing Elder Scrolls Online albeit not at maxed out settings.
