Bethesda will bring its Elder Scrolls role-playing game franchise into the massively multiplayer genre next year with Elder Scrolls Online, according to a story to be published in the June issue of Game Informer magazine.

The magazine reports that the game will span "across the entire land of Tamriel, from Elsweyr to Skyrim and everywhere in between," featuring solo play, cooperative dungeons and player-versus-player fighting.

Game Informer will add more information about the game to its Elder Scrolls Online hub throughout this month, and post a teaser trailer on Friday morning.
