IGN managed to interview Zenimax’s own Matt Firor, who revealed that housing is coming to The Elder Scrolls Online in the first quarter of 2017. Before player owned houses come to Tamriel, Zenimax plans on dropping an update in August that will add a customizing barbershop and an Argonian dungeon pack.
The dungeon pack represents a new form of content delivery that Zenimax is aiming for, creating smaller, almost episodic content for players to come back to.
“It’s interesting to see what happens when you take away the subscription model away,” Firor explained. “You don’t see a hardcore playstyle – like playing for six months and then quitting – we don’t see that. We have a lot of players who will play for two or three weeks because they want to get through a zone and then stop. Then they come back two months later for another month, because there’s no pressure to play all of it at once.
Housing is a staple of the Elder Scrolls series, so it’s not surprising that players have been clamoring for it since the game initially launched. Housing joins recent major revelations, from the impending launch in Japan to content scaling to the player’s level.
