The Elder Scrolls Online will receive two new DLC packs this year. More details were revealed at E3 2017. The PvP mode may get a ball game mechanic and the Clockwork City DLC will be similar to Orsinium.
The Elder Scrolls Online is set to receive three DLCs and a new chapter each year. With Morrowind, the chapter has recently been released and earlier this year the Housing via DLC Homestead was introduced. For the rest of the year, you can expect a dungeon DLC as well as a large new area in the Clockwork City.
The details of what is included have now been revealed at E3.
The Elder Scrolls Online – DLCs – Dungeons, Battlegrounds and “HuttenChaos Ball”
The first DLC pack is “Horns of the Reach” and is expected to be released in August 2017. It features two new dungeons named “Bloodroot Forge” and “Falkreath Hold” as highlights.
PvP enthusiasts will get a new battleground called “Arcane University”. The special feature is: There is a new battleground game mode called “Chaos Ball”.
While we don’t know exactly what it’s all about, the similarity to the legendary “Huttball” from SWTOR is unmistakable.
In Huttball, the objective is to carry a ball into the opposing goal, similar to rugby. The ball carrier is slowed down but can pass the ball at any time.
If the Chaos Ball game mode is something similar, it would surely be a great fun. However, to play the battleground, you need to own Morrowind. The dungeons can also be played without the new chapter.
The Elder Scrolls Online – Clockwork City is supposed to be like Orsinium
At the end of 2017, the second ESO DLC called “Clockwork City” is set to be released. It will include not only a few new instances but also an entire region that you can explore freely.
So it’s similar to the highly acclaimed DLC Orsinium back then. But instead of going into the mountains of the Orcs, you will be diving into the depths of the eponymous Clockwork City.
This is a replica of Tamriel created by the Dark Elf god Sotha Sil, the brother of the Tribunal deities Vivec and Almalexia.
The Clockwork City will feature as a walkable quest area in the DLC and offer numerous new adventures. And although it is closely intertwined with the background of Morrowind, you definitely do not need the new chapter to play Clockwork City.
Both DLCs can be purchased permanently for real money or can be played for free as part of an existing ESO subscription as long as the subscription is active.
