Elder Scrolls Online Beta Footage Leaked

Elder Scrolls Online Beta Footage Leaked

Before a game enters the public stage, developers tend to keep sensitive information secretive. Pre-release trailers, or those released during closed beta tests, tend to be carefully crafted to provide a very specific impression of what a game is and where it’s going, a glimpse at a final product that doesn’t yet exist.

When twenty minutes of Elder Scrolls Online closed beta footage leaked to the internet, it became very apparent as to why.

Unlike the images and trailer that have been released for the game thus far, the footage unedited, unaltered beta footage paints an unflattering picture of the game. It expands on some of the concerns raised by Angelo after his hands on time with the game at PAX East.

Bethesda has had the footage removed from YouTube, but it can still be found at mirrors online. If you watch it, do keep in mind that the footage is not of the final release of the game, and much can change between closed beta and release.
