Bethesda's giving away Morrowind free to celebrate 25 years of The Elder Scrolls UPDATE: Giveaway period extended following technical difficulties. News by Emma Kent Contributor Updated on 26 Mar 2019 43 comments UPDATE 26/03/2019: As you may have observed from the comments on this article, Bethesda's Morrowind giveaway didn't exactly go to plan. Users reported several problems with claiming a free copy of the game, including difficulties logging into Bethesda.net and problems with the code system.

If you missed out on the first round, you have from now until the end of Sunday 31st March to bag Morrowind for free. The technical issues have been frustrating, but when all's said and dunmer, at least we (eventually) got a free game. ORIGINAL STORY 25/03/2019: What's been going for 25 years and is therefore older than me? That's right, it's The Elder Scrolls series, which is today celebrating a quarter-century of dragons, spells and loud yelling. The first Elder Scrolls game, The Elder Scrolls: Arena, was released back in 1994 for MS-DOS (some kind of ancient operating system, apparently). Since then there have been a fair few entries in the series, and to mark the occasion, Bethesda is celebrating in the best way possible: by giving out free stuff. Those who log into Bethesda.net today can claim a free copy of Morrowind by using the code TES25TH-MORROWIND. I guess that does mean having to download the Bethesda launcher, however. Meanwhile, The Elder Scrolls Online is having a free-to-play week from 28th March to 3rd April. Players are also now able to access the Elsweyr Prologue - part of the Season of the Dragon storyline - all for free. Bethesda is also encouraging fans to post their creations on Twitter using the hashtag #TES25. So far it's mainly memes, what a surprise. Join us in celebrating 25 years of The Elder Scrolls! Use #TES25 to show off the characters you spent hours creating, the sweet rolls you baked in real life, the cosplay you're proud of, and everything in between.We want to see it all. https://t.co/TVOhTWxt5c pic.twitter.com/iOoppqmykp- The Elder Scrolls (@ElderScrolls) March 25, 2019 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Hopefully it won't be another 25 years until we hear about that.
