Every year… Zenimax Online announces another expansion for The Elder Scrolls Online. Gold Road takes you to the western plains around the city of Skingrad and continues the Necrom chapter.
You can rely on Zenimax Online. As every year, a new expansion for the still successful online role-playing game The Elder Scrolls Online will be released in June 2024. Unfortunately, as usual, with a time delay. The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road is the name of the new expansion and will be released on June 3rd for PC and Mac, and on June 18th for Playstation and Xbox.
Gold Road takes you to the western plains around the new city of Skingard, along the eponymous Gold Road – by the way, we already know Skingrad from TES IV: Oblivion. The area is divided into three biomes, namely the Gold Road, Valenwald Annexation and Colovian Highlands.
Among other things, Gold Road builds on the cliffhanger at the end of Necrom and continues the story. A jungle has emerged in the western plains almost overnight and a group of wood elves are up to mischief there, a splinter group of which is trying to give Ithelia her power again. We won’t reveal anything more, we don’t want to give you any spoilers.
The new content includes the said story, which will keep you busy with side quests for over 30 hours. There are also new public dungeons, a new 12-player trial, world bosses and world events and much more. The only unusual thing is that new companions will only follow in the fourth quarter this time and are not a direct part of the new chapter.
The new craft of scripture is exciting, which allows you to configure unique skills for your characters, for all classes. There are three components to this: Grimoires form the basic skill, the core of which cannot be changed. Each grimoire has three slots for “scripts” that you can use to set additional characteristics such as healing, elemental damage, buffs and the like. Finally, you can make further adjustments using “Inks”. With the help of initially 22 “Styles” you can also visually adapt your new skills.
In addition to the expansion, the annual plan also includes additional content. Two new dungeons will be coming into play in the first quarter, probably in March, along with Update 41 and the Gold Road prologue. The expansion will follow in the second quarter, a housing feature is scheduled for the third quarter and in Q4 there will be a new PvP feature along with two new companions.
In June, Gold Road, a new expansion for The Elder Scrolls Online, will be released, this time taking you to the western plains around the city of Skingrad.
