New adventures await played in The Elder Scrolls Online from today, well at least for those playing on the game’s PC and Mac servers. ZeniMax Online Studios and Bethesda Softworks has today released The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle, the latest chapter for their MMORPG, on PC and Mac platforms – with plans for an Xbox and PlayStation console release come 21 June 2022.
High Isle is a new area of the wider Elder Scrolls world, and is pitched as being home to a story “which focuses on political intrigue”. The lands of High Isle present the perfect getaway destination for alliance delegates to take on peace talks that would put an end to the Three Banners War. While the summit is hosted by the noble Society of the Steadfast, players should beware of The Ascendant Order and their chaotic motives. Players should expect to “experience an island paradise steeped in medieval culture and architecture, complete with magnificent castles and exciting tournament grounds”.
Set in a previously unexplored region, the Systres Archipelago takes inspiration from the beautiful, windswept shores of the Mediterranean. Here lies the stunning world of High Isle, home of the Bretons, descendants of both humans and elves. The social elite live in the feudalistic society of Gonfalon Bay, the center point of all political dealings on High Isle. Above all, ruthlessness is a virtue here, so players will have to watch their backs.
Following the release of NPC companions last year, this update will bring two new companions for players to have join in on their adventures – Ember, a Khajiit who grew up on the streets and has a knack for magic, and Isobel, a Breton and aspiring knight who feels called to do right by players.
The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle is now available to purchase through the ESO Store, or the supporting retailer or platform store of their choice.
