Elder Scrolls Online is Returning to Morrowind, Release Date Confirmed
Elder Scrolls Online is Returning to Morrowind, Release Date Confirmed. Heading into its ninth year. The Elder Scrolls Online will be taking a turn for the forbidden and cosmic in 2023. In a storyline called Shadow over Morrowind. Visiting a new area of the Dark Elf home province and lending a hand – or tentacle. The Daedric Prince Hermaeus Mora. Skyrim’s Dragonborn DLC as the giant eyeball guy who lives in a fortress made of banned books. In the form of the Arcanist: ESO’s first new class since 2019.
The setting for these ethereal intrigues will be Hermaeus Mora’s plane of Apocrypha. It include both smaller story areas, a larger free-roaming one. And a part of Eastern Morrowind called the Telvanni Peninsula. Elder Scrolls lore, you may remember that House Telvanni is the Dunmer Great House most associated with magic. In The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, their mushroom towers notably lacked stairs and could only be accessed by casting a levitation spell on yourself. Which is a pretty clever way to keep non-magical folk out of your business if you think about it.
Assured me that there will be “a lot of weird magic” to interact with.
Talking to ESO’s creative director Rich Lambert about what we might expect to run into on their home turf. He didn’t want to spoil any specifics, but assured me that there will be “a lot of weird magic” to interact with.
The centerpiece of this region is Necrom. The Dunmer City of the Dead, where the people of the province conduct elaborate and holy funeral rights for their deceased loved ones. A striking metropolis built onto a cliffside, it has some recognizable architectural flourishes in common with places like Vivec. But also a solemn and funerary splendor that is quite unique. It’s not like a creepy skeleton town or a foreboding gothic sepulcher, but rather an imposing place of thoughtful repose. Through exploring it and the surrounding peninsula. Lambert said, we will have the chance to absorb a lot of new lore about Dunmer culture and the Telvanni specifically.
Whether you first set foot in Seyda Neen in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind or The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind, the home of the Dark Elves is beloved by the ESO community for being one of Tamriel’s most fantastic regions.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom is part of the Shadow Over Morrowind adventure and arrives for PC/Mac on June 5, 2023, and for Xbox and PlayStation consoles on June 20, 2023.
