ESO comes to Japan! We're very excited to welcome gamers from Japan to The Elder Scrolls Online, starting today. In celebration of the ESO launch in Japan, Game Director Matt Firor has a special welcome message for our new and existing players.
A year ago, we began collaborating with DMM, our new Japanese partner, to bring The Elder Scrolls Online to gamers in Japan. Together, we've fully localized the game in Japanese, including all text, UI elements, and voice-overs. We are very proud to begin the next chapter by welcoming Japanese players to Tamriel.
To our existing players: You will see our new Japanese players on the North American PC/Mac megaserver starting today. You may notice them conversing in Japanese as they explore Tamriel alongside you. The game supports Japanese-language chat options, too, much like those that are already in use for French and German on the European servers. Please help us make our new heroes feel welcome by showing them courtesy and hospitality. Say hello in Japanese (Kon'nichiwa! or こんにちは!), and maybe even extend them an invitation to your groups and guilds!
If you're joining us today from Japan: Welcome and thank you for joining us. We look forward to having you in our growing community, and hope it becomes as much of a home to you as it has to us. May your future adventures in Tamriel be exciting and full of new friends, amazing experiences, and unforgettable memories.
–Matt
