Elder Scrolls Online

Well, the cat is literally out of the bag. Last night we go full confirmation that Elder Scrolls Online's next chapter is called Elsweyr, and what's more, the whole year's worth of content updates will be about one massive storyline surrounding someone unleashing the ancient dragons on Tamriel. I've got some thoughts on it all, check them out past the break.

Zenimax has finally revealed what we all hoped would be for Elder Scrolls Online. The next "chapter" in ESO's story is sending players off to Elsweyr and, you guessed it: Dragons are coming to ESO for the first time!

Zenimax devs were on hand during a special live stream event earlier today to reveal what's next for The Elder Scrolls Online. As dataminers predicted, the story is taking off to Elsweyr this June. In addition, a new yearlong story, The Season of the Dragon, is beginning that will span four tales that are all "interconnected and epic".

Well, thanks to some enthusiastic data miners, the cat (literally) is out of the bag and next week's big Elder Scrolls Online reveal is going to be an expansion set in Elsweyr, the home of the Khajiit. As evidenced by a package I received this week from none other than Abnur Tharn, it seems the Imperial mage may have some ideas on how to end the Three Banners War and bring about peace to Tamriel... but I'm betting it won't be that simple.

On January 15th, the Elder Scrolls Online team will be hosting a special Twitch livestream event to reveal "The Season of the Dragon", likely tied to today's earlier news that players will be heading off to Elsweyr, the home of the Khajiit. There are perks for taking part too: with 55k concurrent users, a unique wallpaper will be released; 70k concurrent viewers sees all ESO players earn a pet; 90k concurrent viewers will see Rich Lambert get a SFW tattoo "somewhere on his body".
