The Elder Scrolls Online: Release date of DLC “Shadows of the Hist” confirmed

Zenimax Online has announced when the new DLC “Shadows of the Hist” as well as Update 11 of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online will be released.

Those playing The Elder Scrolls Online on PC can start as early as August 1, while Xbox One and Playstation 4 players will have to wait until August 16. Both the new DLC and Update 11 will be released simultaneously.

Contents of the DLC – Two New Dungeons in Black Marsh

“Shadows of the Hist” is available for free to anyone with an active ESO Plus membership, while all others must pay 1,500 crowns in the Crown Store if they want to experience the new content of the DLC. This includes two new dungeons for four players, which are set in Black Marsh and provide an insight into the culture of the Argonians.

In the “Womb of Shadows,” you will search together with a group of Argonian followers of the Dark Brotherhood for defectors who want to plunge Black Marsh into chaos. In the “Ruins of Mazzatun,” you will deal with slavers who have enslaved an Argonian tribe. In the “Riddle City” of the Argonian tribe of Xit-Xaht, you will fight for the freedom of the slaves. Both dungeons will provide you with interesting loot and can also be played in veteran mode.

Change Your Appearance

The style room will also be new. Through this, you will be able to completely change your hero’s appearance. Using marks available in the Crown Store, you can change hairstyle and hair color, embellishments, facial and body painting, facial features, eye color, age, voice, and the shape of the head and body. Additionally, you can give your hero a new name and add special hairstyles, embellishments, and paint. You can also dye costumes and hats by purchasing dye stamps and colors in the Crown Store.
