5 Main Take-Aways About Elder Scrolls: Blades From Bethesda's E3 Conference

2. The Multiplayer

The Elder Scrolls Blades
Bethesda

The 'Arena' mode features player versus player combat, drawing on mechanics, locations and gear collected in the story mode.

Todd Howard didn't go into specifics, other than that Arena is only one-on-one gameplay. It's likely the game will use similar mechanics to Elder Scrolls Legends with typical ranking and tournament modes.

One thing Howard did say was that the game could be played cross-platform - which is pretty crucial for making a successful mobile app.

It seems that this mode isn't the point of the game, but more an added bonus to supplement the main story and help players develop their skills.

I'm based in the UK, looking to make a career out of writing about entertainment and culture. The only thing I like as much as watching films, playing games or listening to music is enjoying as much hummus and crisps as I can while I do so. My favourite film is Eddie the Eagle and I like any game that lets me wander around beautiful worlds (or eat hummus and crisps).
