Bethesda To Shut Down Official Forums In Favor Of Discord, Elder Scrolls Online Forums Will Continue To Operate

elder scrolls online castle thorn bannerBethesda Softworks is shutting down their official game forums in favor of more modern alternatives. The studio announced earlier this week that they will be moving community discussions to Discord.

“The forums have seen many changes over the years, and we’ve enjoyed seeing our community grow and evolve alongside Bethesda and all of our games. Now, though, with the numerous ways people are communicating, we feel the time is right to move away from the forums and chat with you where you prefer to be.”

The transfer will begin on May 24, starting with creating read-only categories on Discord. Major threads will be moved to their respective Discord channels while smaller threads and categories will be archived starting July 6.

A notable exception is the Elder Scrolls Online official forums, which operates independently from Bethesda.net and will remain operational until the powers that be decide to retire it.

More information can be found on the Bethesda official site.
