Kath also highlighted an unexpected “silver lining” following the cancellation of Blackbird. Because the studio is no longer splitting its focus between two major titles, the entire Zenimax workforce is now concentrated solely on The Elder Scrolls Online. While the layoffs were undeniably difficult for the industry, the result is a more focused development team for the MMO.

“In some ways, our available resources for ESO have actually grown,” Kath noted. “We no longer have staff managing two different products; their energy is now devoted exclusively to one title.”

The inaugural season, Season Zero: Dawn and Dusk, is set to launch on April 2 and run through July 8. It aims to introduce a redesigned zone experience while establishing the foundation for the game’s future content cycles.
