In The Elder Scrolls Online: Murkmire, players venture into the Black Marsh, the homeland of the Argonians. However, this race seems unusual to outsiders, as Matt Firor reveals at Gamescom. What can players expect in Murkmire?
In an interview with PCGamesN, Game Director Matt Firor discussed the upcoming player expansion for The Elder Scrolls Online, Murkmire, and what players can experience there.
Players visit the homeland of the Argonians for the first time
The story of Murkmire: Matt Firor says it is the first time Argonians are shown in their own culture. And they are simply quirky. He does not know any other word for it.
According to Firor, Argonians neither worry about the past nor the future. They live in the present. That is their life philosophy. However, in Murkmire, the Argonians must begin to reflect on the past as well.
Players embark on a quest for an ancient artifact, like in an Indiana Jones movie. However, the Argonians do not care much about this artifact or anything that happened in the past. Players should not expect much help from the lizard folk.
Throughout the story, players will uncover the background of this Argonian mindset and better understand the people.
Ancient pyramids and dark temples
Players explore historically significant places: Murkmire is full of Argonian architecture. Players will venture into ancient stone pyramids, the Xanmeer, and learn why these structures are important to Argonian culture.
When will Murkmire be released? There is no official release date yet, but Murkmire is expected to be released later this year. A release between October and December is likely. The last major zone expansion for The Elder Scrolls Online, Clockwork City, was released at the end of October 2017.
