A few weeks back, the Greymoor expansion for The Elder Scrolls Online launched for PC/Mac. Now, it has also made its way to Xbox One and PlayStation 4, with a Google Stadia release planned for June 16, 2020. The expansion is packed with two new zones, a new storyline, and plenty of fresh content. It’s accompanied by a free update for the base game that revamps its vampire skill line, expands the housing system, improves the overall performance, and more.
Here’s the official gameplay launch trailer:
And a quick overview of Greymoor’s new features:
An ancient evil rises from beneath Western Skyrim, and monsters prey upon the local Nords, bringing ruin and horror to all they touch. Greymoor features a grim main storyline of a kingdom under siege from a supernatural threat, but it is also part of a larger adventure, called the Dark Heart of Skyrim, that began with the Harrowstorm DLC in February and continues throughout 2020.
In the Greymoor Chapter, you can discover:Two New Zones
- Two new zones to explore: Western Skyrim & Blackreach
- A gothic main storyline featuring an ancient supernatural threat
- A new system: Antiquities
- A new 12-player Trial: Kyne’s Aegis
- A huge selection of side quests, stories, and characters
- New item sets, collectibles, and Achievements
Greymoor allows you to explore the zones of Western Skyrim and Blackreach: Greymoor Caverns. Any true follower of Kyne will recognize the snow-capped mountains and rocky crags of Western Skyrim, and now for the first time in The Elder Scrolls Online, you can visit the city of Solitude and its surrounding holds, almost 1,000 years before the events of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
In addition to Western Skyrim, you can journey into the subterranean world of Blackreach. Filled with treasures and mystery, Blackreach is a colorful biome with its own unique form of life—and its own dangers!
A Gothic Storyline
In The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor’s main storyline, you must investigate a rising darkness that plagues the Nords of Western Skyrim. Isolated and wary of strangers—even other Nords—the people of Western Skyrim face monsters emerging from its darkest reaches, as an army of vampires, werewolves, and witches attack from a hidden holdfast and conduct horrifying, life-draining rituals.
As part of the Dark Heart of Skyrim, the events of the Greymoor Chapter are an important part of this year-long adventure—while also being a strong standalone story in its own right!
A New Antiquities System
You can explore all of Tamriel and dig up its hidden relics and histories with the new Antiquities system, an in-game activity that promises great rewards for Tamriel’s would-be archaeologists, historians, and treasure hunters. This system introduces two minigames: scrying, where you discern the location of dig sites, and excavation, where you unearth the relics!
With its two Skill Lines and a host of rewards (including collectibles, treasures, and long-forgotten lore), Antiquities provides a completely new way to experience Tamriel.
A New Trial: Kyne’s Aegis
A monstrous army of Giants, Half-Giants, and vampires has attacked the island bastion of Kyne’s Aegis, and the Nord defenders have put out the call for aid. In this new 12-player Trial, you and your allies must battle your way through this malevolent force and confront the vampire lord at the heart of the invasion. New gear sets, collectibles, and glory awaits!
