In the fantasy MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4, Xbox One), data miners have uncovered the possible location of the storyline for the next ESO expansion.
It is known that ESO is planning an expansion in 2018. This is said to bring around 30 to 50 hours of content, come to the stores, introduce a new area, and likely include a feature or a new class in The Elder Scrolls Online.
Such an expansion, a chapter, is important for ESO to remain relevant and to bring new blood into the game. Zenimax aims to create a new entry point for fresh players each year, including a new tutorial and an enhanced entry experience.
Last year, “Morrowind” was released as such a chapter, which was well received by ESO players. But where are we going in 2018?
As the year changed, we already presented what the community expects from the ESO expansion in 2018. Many are wishing for a feature like spell weaving, a way to customize skills. The community is divided about the new area.

Data miners find clues
As possible locations for the expansion, fans have nominated Murkmire, the land of the Argonians, and the Summerset Isles, the homeland of the High Elves. It seems that Zenimax will fulfill the wish of one of the two groups.
As data miners revealed on reddit, they have discovered a prologue quest that is said to lead to the Summerset Isles. This would mean that the expansion would focus on the Aldmeri, the High Elves of The Elder Scrolls Online.
In the prologue mission, players board a boat that takes them to a meeting with an oracle, from where the new chapter starts.
This information is likely hidden in patch 3.3.0, which has now been released on the PTS, allowing testing of the upcoming DLC Dragon Bones.
Whether the Summerset Isles will actually be the setting for the next expansion, which is likely to arrive mid-year, we do not yet know for sure. Last year, the secret about Morrowind was revealed by data miners long before the official presentation.
What we know for sure is the next DLC Dragon Bones and what it will bring:
