ZeniMax Online Studios said it remains committed to The Elder Scrolls Online after Xbox layoffs cut 379 staff across Bethesda's Maryland offices. The studio claims it is now the same size as during the 2015–2018 era when it produced well-received DLC content. A revised roadmap is coming soon, though the developer confirmed the layoffs forced adjustments to planned content.
