The Chair Is Getting Its Own Game

Hey everyone. Todd. Enormous news, structurally speaking.

"The Elder Scrolls: Chair will release in 2110, a full year before The Elder Scrolls VII. It will function as a prequel. You will sit in the chair. That is the loop. Early reviews from people who have not played it are overwhelmingly positive."

The Chair — discovered behind the door marked 'Demo (Final)' — has proven so beloved that it is being spun off into its own standalone title. Pre-orders for The Elder Scrolls: Chair have already surpassed lifetime pre-orders for The Elder Scrolls VII, a game that contains the Chair for free. We are aware of the economics. We are choosing not to think about them.

A Collector's Edition will include a physical replica of the Chair, which is a chair. It ships in 2109. Supplies are limited by the concept of chairs.
