DMM To Launch Elder Scrolls Online In Japan On June 23, 2016, Pre-Orders Open

Following a two year wait, The Elder Scrolls Online is finally headed to Japan courtesy of DMM—best known for their browser titles, such as Kantai Collection and Kanpani Girls. The game will be officially launching through their service on Windows and Mac on June 23, 2016. Much like the Western version of the game, there will be two editions available, the regular edition and the Imperial Edition. Both physical and downloadable version will be available for the regular edition, while the Imperial Edition appears to be a physical edition only.

The regular edition—priced at 7949 yen—will contain an installer DVD, activation card, instruction manual, and a "special paper world map." Pre-ordering will also earn you a Vermilion Scuttler pet, a bonus treasure map, and a "soul stone pack."

The Imperial Edition—priced at 12,744 yen—will have quite a bit more. a "special USB drive" with the installer on it will be provided. A large, cloth map will replace the paper version in the regular edition. The Japanese soundtrack and a "limited edition booklet" are included as exclusives to the Japanese edition. The Imperial Horse, Imperial race, and Imperial race skill tree are included, as they were in the Western version, alongside an "Engagement Ring of Mara" and soul stone pack.

No details have been provided as of yet about what DLC, if any, will be available at launch.
