The new chapter of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online awaits us this summer. This evening, the associated announcement event by Bethesda takes place. However, there were already some news on Twitter, unplanned, about the contents that await us this year.
Update 9:30 PM: The new expansion High Isles has been officially announced. All information about it here:
When is the announcement event? Official and detailed news will be available today, January 27, 2022, at 9 PM on the official Bethesda channel (via Twitch).
However, a Twitter post gives us some new info in advance. The post was removed shortly after, but of course it did not go unnoticed and was shared by ESO fans.
What kind of post is this? The post actually bears the title “Bethesda Gear Store Giveaway”. However, one can already recognize a few spoilers for the new chapter based on the items being promoted in the giveaway.
In advance, you can have a look at our 3 exciting hints about the new contents of ESO in 2022.
The Twitter post reveals about the new ESO chapter
On some items in the image for the giveaway, one can recognize, among other things, the name of the new chapter:
“High Isle” – this is it. So it is certain: This year we are going from the mainland to an island. This could previously be inferred from the teaser released on January 5, but nothing was set in stone yet. It could have just as easily been a coastal region of the mainland.
Furthermore, there is some new information about the person who is also shown in the teaser. In the video, a person in armor is seen climbing a stone staircase. Upon reaching the top, they look out at a stormy sea. Presumably, they are at the viewpoint of a castle.
In the Twitter post, a figure for the giveaway is listed. Below the depicted figure, one can see the inscription “Ascendant Lord Statue with Letter Opener“. This gives us further information about the identity of the figure already known from the teaser. It is thus an “Ascendant Lord”, which means “rising lord”. It seems likely that it might be about conquests? Because how else would our “lord” rise?
