Blackwood, the next chapter of The Elder Scrolls Online, will be out in June

  • 1

During the latest reveal event for The Elder Scrolls Online, which was delayed to avoid clashing with the US presidential inauguration, Bethesda and Zenimax announced various details of the MMO's year-long adventure for 2021, the Gates of Oblivion. 

It kicks off in a DLC pack called Flames of Ambition, due on March 8, which contains two PvE dungeons, and will involve attacking a shrine to Mehrunes Dagon, the daedric prince of destruction and the villain behind this year's storyline. Presumably you'll beat up a lot of cultists of the Mythic Dawn, as depicted in the slick, action-packed trailer that makes me wish the game was actually like that.

 

The chapter, which is what ESO's fuller expansions are known as, will be available on June 1. It's called Blackwood and the zone it adds includes Niben Forest, the Blackwood Bog, and the city of Leyawiin as seen in Oblivion. (You may remember it as the place where you get sent to gatecrash a party and cast a spell that makes everyone's clothes vanish. At least, that's what I remember it for.)
