The next expansion for theElder Scrolls Onlinehas been revealed by ZeniMax and it’s a good one: We’re heading to the Summerset Isle - ancestral home of the High Elves.
Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset Coming Soon
UnlikeMorrowind(which was featured inElder Scrolls III: Morrowind), this is the first time since Elder Scrolls: Arena that players have been able to explore the Summerset Isle. And since the region was randomly generated in Arena, that barely counts. With shining cities, vibrant forests, tropical lagoons, coral caves and mysterious ruins, it’s a brighter setting than Morrowind.
You’ll be able to head to Alinor, Summerset’s capital city and home to the high elf queen Alwinarwe. Another area of note are Cloudrest - the mountaintop home of the Welkynar Gryphon Knights. Or you could head to the Crystal Tower - a mysterious building which serves the dual purpose of a place of research and for honouring the dead.
In terms of the expansion’s plot, you’ll be able to join the secretive Psijic Order and gain new abilities. For example, the power to stop time. There are rumours of Daedric followers organising. It’s up to you to uncover a conspiracy that threatens Tamriel. Check out the dramatic cinematic trailer below.
