In The Elder Scrolls Online, the plans for next year have been outlined. The two upcoming DLCs are expected to bring new zones again.
Matt Firor, the head of TESO, was available for an interview with the US site mmorpg. Firor is visibly satisfied with the last DLC Orsinium. The Orc city and the associated patch are already out on PC and are expected to come to consoles in a few days. For Xbox One on November 17, and for PlayStation 4 on the 18th.
2016 is set to emphasize the typical Elder Scrolls elements
That would be a successful mix for all PvE players: world bosses, solo quests, group quests. Finding the right mixture has been difficult, but successful.
Especially proud they are of the scaling of players, so that everyone can experience Orsinium. In the next DLC, which is about the Thieves Guild, they will definitely continue this and then see how it goes and evaluate the feedback.
Firor seems convinced by the idea: letting players play together is the best thing about TESO. The level restrictions have been in the way, loosening them is the right step.
In the near future, they want to provide players with the typical Elder Scrolls experience and focus on the story and narrative style.
New zones for TESO in 2016
The Elder Scrolls Online will open new zones in 2016. The DLC in the first quarter of 2016, which revolves around the Thieves Guild, will take place in an area of Hammerfell that has not yet been seen in ESO. The second DLC about the Dark Brotherhood will take place in West-Cyrodiil. However, that is not a PvP area, but a region around Anvil and Kvatch.
How it continues afterwards is not yet revealed. At the moment, they like the quarterly DLCs. There probably won’t be a “big, annual expansion”, even if Firor never says never.
