Talk of an Elder Scrolls MMO has surfaced the net numerous times in recent months, each time heightening the fact that the Empire of Tamriel could possibly explored in the MMO realm. Now the anticipation meter just went up another notch as yet more info comes out regarding an Elder Scrolls MMO.

News comes from the licensing of the MMO tech HeroEngine by ZeniMax Online Studios, a subsidiary company of Bethesda. What makes this intriguing, however, is that ZeniMax’s sole purpose is the development of MMO games.

"HeroEngine is an MMO development team's dream come true - it streamlines the entire process of building your MMO game. Artists, world builders, scripters, game designers, producers, and customer service can all collaborate live, online, in real-time. Create and update your game faster, with more time to focus on the fun rather than waiting for code to crunch. Build the game and play it at the same time to see instant results."

Remember now, earlier in the month Bethesda registered elderscrollsonline.com and failed to give a clear explanation to why they did so. Obviously this signals something, but until it is confirmed, this can only be speculation and nothing more.

Stay tuned for more information as we get it.
