The Elder Scrolls Online being removed from store shelves next week

Kotaku Australia reports that EB Games stores around the country have been asked to return to the publisher all copies of The Elder Scrolls Online and all pre-paid cards for the game.

An EB Games source told Kotaku that everything related to The Elder Scrolls Online should be off shelves by 13 January.

While Bethesda have not commented, this looks like the clearest indicator yet the game will be moving to a free-to-play model. The option to subscribe for six months was recently removed, but unless they are closing the game down for good (which seems highly unlikely considering the financial investment and recent release of the game) pulling the game from shelves means there will be at least some changes to how it is distributed, whether that is free-to-play or a hybrid model remains to be seen.
