Are you interested in The Elder Scrolls® Online by Bethesda? I know I have been. The Elder Scrolls® Online has gotten some rock heavy content releases as we approach the release in the upcoming months for PC and later this summer for home consoles. Today our amazing friends over at Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax® Media company, has announced the Imperial Edition of The Elder Scrolls® Online. Us here at B.A.T.G.R. have been given some information to present to you our readers to give you some idea of what it is! They are also happy to announced the newly launched TESO store over at store.elderscrollsonline.com

With the launch of the Imperial Edition once the game releases we've been given an amazing and well sorted list for what will be contained within the Imperial Edition. So lets take a look below. The Elder Scrolls Online Physical Imperial Edition includes:

• Molag Bal Statue. A 12” statue featuring Molag Bal, Daedric Prince of domination and enslavement.
• The Improved Emperor’s Guide to Tamriel. A 224-page illustrated guide annotated by the Imperial scholar, Flaccus Terentius.
• Physical Map of Tamriel. A 21” x 26” printed map detailing Alliance-controlled zones and the ultimate conquest: Cyrodiil. 
• Steelbook™ Packaging. A limited edition steel case decorated in the color of the Imperials.
• Exclusive Collection of Digital Content.
• Play as an Imperial: Become an Imperial and play in any Alliance. -Gain unique bonuses, crafting styles, gear, and more.
• White Imperial Horse: Summon this Imperial mount and journey through Tamriel with speed.
• Mudcrab Vanity Pet: Explore Tamriel with a mudcrab pet scuttling along by your side.
• Rings of Mara: Complete the Ritual of Mara with a friend and receive an experience bonus when you play together.

Unfortunately, the Physical Imperial Edition for TESO is going to be very low in quantity, which means one thing - pre-order now to make sure you get it. The Physical Imperial Edition will run you 99.99 USD before local taxes, which isn't bad for all that is included.

The Elder Scrolls Online Digital Imperial Edition includes the base game and all digital content outlined for the Physical Imperial Edition above and retails for $79.99. Downside? No physical stuff, which is nice stuff to have. Read below for the rest of the information that has been provided by Bethesda/Zenimax regarding this product Quite a bit still to go!

All those who pre-order or pre-purchase either the Imperial Edition or the Standard Edition in physical or digital formats will also receive The Explorer’s Pack bonus at launch, which includes: Scuttler vanity pet, four bonus treasure maps, and the ability to play as any of the nine races in any Alliance.

Early Access bonuses will also be offered to those pre-ordering or pre-purchasing a PC/Mac version. A five (5) day early access bonus will be offered to those who pre-purchase the Digital Imperial Edition or the Digital Standard Edition through The Elder Scrolls Online Store. Additional early access programs are also available through participating retailers.

The Elder Scrolls Online, developed by ZeniMax Online Studios, is the latest chapter of the award-winning franchise and will bring the legendary experience online for the first time. Players can choose their own style of play as they embark upon an epic adventure across all of Tamriel, playing alone on heroic quests as in previous Elder Scrolls games, exploring the huge, rich world with a few friends, or joining with hundreds of others in massive PvP battles to save the Empire.

The Elder Scrolls® Online will be available worldwide on April 4, 2014 for PC and Mac users. Versions for the PlayStation®4 system and the Xbox One® will be arriving on retail shelves in June 2014.
