Here is some (v. hopeful) speculation.

Zos is currently recruiting a small team to "lead the client development of a cross-platform (Android / iOS) framework that will support social engagement through shared gameplay. This position works closely with art, design, and production team members. This role is responsible for leading all client architecture, execution, and tools needed to deliver new gaming features for mobile applications."

Here are links to the job adverts for the lead developer and experienced developer job roles.

Good luck to the best applicants. This sounds like what I have been hoping for for years!

    We should have already had a companion app that lets you access your accounts and character's,guild traders to sell and retrieve items so your character was ready when you were, talk to guild mates,craft pots and provisioning, I mean you can see were I'm going, it's 2017 and I can't believe thier just now hatching this egg.

    I would not get too exited. Maybe recruiting more people to further develop Elder Scrolls Legends or something completely new.

    I thought that, but in the job advert it talks about cross-platform gameplay, and from what I understand about legends it is already set up to run on specific platforms.

    Maybe it's nothing, but it is something I hope to be developed.

    Have only played one game that had that much interaction and it was not a good game. Neverwinter.

    I liked Neverwinter. But each to their own.

    Neverwinter was a good game, until devs changed it into endless grind. But ability to do some stuff on your game account from mobile was awesome, and I wish ZOS will make app like this some day.

    Had a decent story line leveling up. Quality of end game was not on par. Good for a free game. Certainly not in league with top MMORPGs. After all, there is a reason you are playing ESO.

    This is my first mmo. Wouldnt it be a matter of quality coding with the zos devolopment team?

    Judging by what were getting lately it would be a serious folly and waste of assets that could be better spent fixing the problems on hand already.

    Yea would probably be a nightmare getting kicked from app or things of value being lost in the data transfer doing this kind of stuff through your phone.

    You quoted the wrong thing.

    "As a Mobile Engineer, you will help create and program cross-platform (Android/iOS) mobile games for ZOS."

    So I doubt this has anything to do with Elder Scrolls. Probably more an attempt to expand their library with a few freemium titles. The kinds you can play on the can at 3 AM when the ESO servers are choking.

    Other games have tried this and it really didn't work very well, I'd prefer it if this never came to light.

    Agreed.
