On January 16, fans ofThe Elder Scrolls Onlinefinally got the chance to see what developer ZeniMax Online Studios has been cooking up since last year’sSeason of the Dragoncampaign. During a livestream from HyperX Esports Arena in Las Vegas, the developer showed off a new cinematic trailer and subsequently posted a news announcement forthe newDark Heart of Skyrimcampaign,which will cover the four upcoming expansions releasing throughout 2020.
Releasing first at some point in Q1 2020, theHarrowstoneDLC packwill introduce two new dungeons that head up the story beats for the followingGreymoorexpansion pack.Greymooris set to release on May 18 for PC/Mac players and June 2 for PS4/Xbox One players.
Taking place 900 years prior to the events of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoorwill show off familiar areas from Western Skyrim such as Solitude and Blackreach. Given how faithfully remodeled this new (but old) version of Solitude appears, it’s safe to say that a run throughGreymoor’s30+ hours of new content will evoke plenty of nostalgia from Skyrim fans.
Greymoorwill release alongside a new Antiquities system, which grants players treasure hunts for unique trophies and furnishings across the entire world ofESO, as well as a new 12-player trial and a rebalance of the Vampire skill line. Among other things to be excited about is Harrowstorms, a new type of public quest that works similarly to the base game’s Dolmens, or Elsweyr’s dragon hunts.

By pre-ordering the new expansion set, players will also immediately receive access to the baseElder Scrolls Onlinegame plus all previous major expansions (Morrowind, Summerset, Elsweyr), as well as some pre-release goodies.
