The Elder Scrolls: Arena is a role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Softworks and released in 1994. It is the first installment in the Elder Scrolls series, set in the fantasy world of Tamriel. Players explore vast environments, complete quests, and engage in combat with various creatures and enemies. The game features a mix of first-person and third-person perspectives, allowing players to navigate dungeons and cities. Players can create their own character, choosing from different races and classes, and can interact with non-playable characters to advance the storyline. Arena laid the groundwork for future titles in the Elder Scrolls franchise.
