The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) is getting a big content package at the end of the year with the DLC “Murkmire”. In it, you can explore the mysterious homeland of the Argonians. If you don’t like lizards, however, Update 2.0 will still bring some cool features for the main game.
What is included in Murkmire? Murkmire will be the 4th and final DLC for ESO in 2018. It will launch simultaneously with the free Update 20. Murkmire focuses primarily on the lizard folk, the Argonians. The DLC and the update include:
- A new swamp area full of quests and new locations
- Massive lore background on the Argonians
- The new Blackrose Arena
- Destructible terrain in Cyrodiil
- Music boxes for housing
Lizards and Arenas – The DLC’s Content in Detail
What is the new story about? In the swamps of the Argonians, you will learn a lot about the background of this curious lizard folk. Additionally, you will dive into the past of the people and search for an ancient artifact.
What is the arena all about? Finally, there is a new arena. In it, you can prove yourself against increasingly difficult opponents with three other players. At the end, there will be particularly strong equipment as a reward.
Destructible Terrain and Music – What’s in Update 20
What can one expect from the destructible terrain? With the Murkmire DLC, Update 20 will be available for free to all ESO players. It introduces a new gameplay mechanic for PvP in Cyrodiil. From now on, you can demolish bridges and walls.
This opens up unprecedented new possibilities for PvP warfare. If an enemy force cannot cross a river, they must find alternative routes, which you can then turn into deadly ambushes.
New strongholds will also be added as retreat points and secret sneaking paths behind enemy lines.
Music and other housing features: Update 20 will introduce several new features for housing. Among them is the long-awaited music box, which allows you to fill your house with music. Additionally, there will be more comfort when decorating, such as a function to undo the last actions taken.
