Bethesda and Zenimax Online Studios have released a new video showcasing the first adventure zone that’s set to grace The Elder Scrolls Online.
Craglorn promises to be the game’s first adventure zone and includes a brand new storyline and content designed for players of Veteran rank. It includes new quests designed for up to 4 players and 12-player Trials.
"When you first enter Craglorn there's going to be a mystery that's set up," said Creative Director Paul Sage. "The constellations are missing from the sky and you're going to hear rumour of these beings called Celestials, and they are the Warrior, the Mage, the Serpent and the Thief, and how they're impacting Craglorn and what's going on is going to be what your group discovers."
In addition to these quests, there’s Trials, which are apparently designed for the hardest of the hardcore players.
"Once you begin you'll have to overcome a lot of different challenges, such as environmental hazards," continued Sage. "There's a lot of different monsters we throw at you, and of course there are boss monsters that have interesting tactics that you haven't encountered anywhere in the game before. And if all the encounters and bosses weren't enough, you have a timer that you're up against and you also have a limited number of resurrections that your group is allowed."
Players who make it up to the top of the Trials leaderboards will be rewarded for their skill, although the developers have not specified what those rewards might be as of yet.
Craglorn will be available to all subscribers of the game later this month and promises to be the first of many new content areas for the game.
