The release of Elder Scrolls Online, the Bethesda/Zenimax MMORPG set in the beloved Elder Scrolls universe, is quickly approaching. Officially, it launches on April 4, but those who pre-order the game from Bethesda’s website get a 5 day head start.

I’m usually not a fan of pre-order bonuses, they tend to be lame marketing ploys. But playing Elder Scrolls Online 5 days early? Now that’s a pre-order bonus I can get behind.
