The Year of the Dragon is coming in The Elder Scrolls Online as Bethesda and Zenimax Online announced today that Elsweyr is the newest chapter that is coming to the critically acclaimed MMO this June.
With The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr, players will finally be able to explore a new Zone that is almost the same size as Summerset, which is Elsweyr, the home of the Khajit. In addition, a Necromancer class will also be added when the new chapter launches this June.
Some of the new contents are highlighted below:
- A gigantic new zone, Elsweyr, similar in size and scope to last year’s Summerset zone
- An epic main story quest line with around 30 hours of new adventures that ties into the Season of the Dragon, plus tons of new side quests and exploration
- A powerful new Class: The Necromancer, the most requested addition from the community
- A challenging new 12-player Trial: Sunspire
- Colossal new World Events: Dragon Attacks
- A vast amount of unique Delves, Public Dungeons, and stand-alone quests, as well as a host of updates and quality-of-life improvements
According to Bethesda, the new Elsweyr zone will add yet another massive landmass to the ESO world for fans to explore. Fans can look forward to explore the laden with moon sugar farms of the Khajits, fertile grasslands, scorching deserts, and palatial cities as well as a host of new monsters and enemies. Elder Scrolls veterans may also recall exploring the province of Elsweyr in The Elder Scrolls: Arena as the outer edges in the The Elder Scrolls’s regions of Reaper RMarch and Khenarthi’s Roost.
In addition to the great content coming to ESO, the game’s first new class since 2017’s Morrowind Chapter- the highly anticipated Necromancer, will finally come to ESO with the Elsweyr expansion. With the new class, players will be able to command the dead and cast powerful elemental spells to overcome foes and bolster defenses. With the Necromancer, death itself is a weapon.
