Introduction

Matt Firor: Welcome everyone to the 2024 Elder Scrolls Online Global Reveal. Today, we will share all the details of our 2024 plans, including ESO’s new Chapter. But first, I’d like to take a moment to talk about what ESO means to all of us here at ZeniMax Online and to all of you. We built ESO as a virtual world centered around Elder Scrolls lore, where you can go anywhere, play in any style you want with endless customization and have the freedom to roleplay as anyone you want, and also to be a safe harbor from the often unpredictable and complex outside world. Just take a step back to the game’s early days and see how much we’ve accomplished. From taking on Molag Bal with the help of Cadwell and Darien Gautier, fighting other players to claim territory in Cyrodiil and the Ruby Throne in our amazing PvP system, slaying dragons in the sandy canyons of Elsweyr with Khamira and Abnur Tharn, fencing a fortune in stolen goods at your friendly neighborhood Outlaw Refuge, and so much more. We take you through all the lands of Tamriel, filled with memorable characters who return again and again to provide companionship, humor, and drama. Our stories are among the best in the genre and our content also includes game systems like Companions, Antiquities, Tales of Tribute, Dungeons, PvP—the list goes on and on. With ESO, you can pick and choose what fits your virtual life in Tamriel. And later this year, we will hit an amazing and important milestone: ten years in Tamriel. Our history, of course, goes back even farther to ZOS’s founding in 2007, and many ESO developers have been with us for 15 years or more. I can’t speak of the studio’s history without acknowledging the profound impact that Robert Altman had on my life and that of everyone at ZOS. As CEO of ZeniMax Media who passed away in 2021, Robert was a true champion of the game, and he was a friend and mentor to all of us. He is very much missed, but ZOS is stronger because of the foundation he helped build during our formative years.

ESO has grown over the years to be 24 million players, including gamers from all over the world. Originally in English, French, and German, we now offer localization in Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. And ESO developers now stretch from the west coast of the USA through Austin, Texas; to our headquarters in Maryland— and eastward to Budapest, Hungary, where we recently opened Zenimax Online Hungary. ESO is truly a global phenomenon. Everyone at ZOS considers the ESO community part of the family— it’s not just a hashtag. That feeling of caring and connection begins in our studio, and I am very proud to be part of it. Remember that ESO launched in April 2014, but that was just on PC. It launched on Xbox and PlayStation in June 2015, so we are celebrating our ten-year anniversary over 15 months in 2024 and 2025. Expect community events around the globe— we announced the first of these already. It’s in the Netherlands this coming Spring. Thank you to everyone who signed up already. We’ll have another large community event in 2025 in the Baltimore-Washington area of the USA to mark the 10th Anniversary of ESO’s console launch, and a few more events sprinkled between them. We will post information on all of our anniversary celebration plans on social media and elderscrollsonline.com. The team has prepared special ten-year anniversary rewards for many of our in-game events happening in 2024 and 2025— some you can start earning right now. Stay tuned for details. We’re eager to celebrate and to kick things off in earnest in just a few months. I can’t wait to see all of you at the in-person events.

And now, it’s time to look forward to 2024’s new content. ESO’s newest Chapter features everything that makes ESO special: exploring a region of Tamriel well known to Elder Scrolls Fans, telling an amazing story that goes deep into the lore of the region, and adding a new gameplay with a system called “Scribing” which allows players to customize some of their abilities. The Chapter is called “Gold Road,” and it takes place between the borders of Cyrodiil, Gold Coast, and Valenwood. So, let’s start the show and see all the details with the Global Premiere of the 2024 ESO Gold Road trailer. Enjoy, and see you in Tamriel.

[Shows the Gold Road – Cinematic Announcement Trailer]

Overview

Gina Bruno: What’s up, everyone. You just saw the world premiere trailer for our upcoming Chapter, The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road. I’m Gina Bruno, ESO’s Senior Community Manager, and today I’m joined by The Elder Scrolls Online’s own Creative Director, Rich Lambert.

Rich Lambert: Hey, everyone. I’m thrilled to be back again for this year’s ESO Global Reveal, and boy, do we have a lot of exciting things to share with you all. The team has been working super hard on 2024’s new adventures and features, and it’s going to be another amazing year for The Elder Scrolls Online.

Gina Bruno: Well, the truth is the team’s been working super hard for the past 16 years, and Rich, you and I have actually been here from the very beginning in 2007.

Rich Lambert: It’s wild looking back, for sure. I remember the days of being able to fit the entire team into a minivan and to all go out to lunch together. And a lot has changed since then, and now we’re suddenly about to celebrate ten years of being live, with 40+ major content updates and a community that literally spans the globe. It’s amazing how much we’ve done, and it certainly doesn’t feel like 16 years have passed already. And now that we’re looking ahead to what’s coming in 2024, why don’t you start us off with an overview about this year’s adventure and story.

Rich Lambert: Last year, we saw players explore the Telvanni Peninsula and Apocrypha zones, and delved into a story surrounding the Prince of Knowledge, Hermaeus Mora, and master the magics of the Arcanist class. This year, we’re inviting players to venture into a Colovian region known as the West Weald. This region spans the western borders of Cyrodiil to the north and the eastern tip of Valenwood, and many Elder Scrolls players will probably recognize this location from TES4: Oblivion. In our time, a dense jungle has suddenly appeared overnight along the Valenwood border, and the whole region is suffering from a rise in attacks from a mysterious new kind of Daedra.

Gina Bruno: So the new zone will be familiar for those of you who played Oblivion, but there’s something big going on behind the scenes that’s causing all this chaos.

Rich Lambert: We’re doing something we’ve never done before in ESO: We’re introducing a whole new Daedric Prince.

Gina Bruno: That is a really big deal.

Rich Lambert: It is, and we are really excited about it. The Gold Road’s storyline focuses on the return of a Forgotten Prince, named Ithelia, and it was great to be able to work with BGS to bring our vision for this new power to life, and we think folks are going to love what we’ve created. In last year’s Necrom Chapter, we dropped a major cliffhanger: Mysterious forces discovered the existence of this forgotten Daedric Prince, Ithelia. In Gold Road, you’ll discover that Prince is now free, with dire consequences for all of Tamriel. I don’t want to go into too much detail yet, because we’ll be diving deeper into the story shortly, but this is really big, and we are very excited to see how our community reacts as they learn more about Ithelia and her allies.

Gina Bruno: Alright, so we have a new zone and a story about the return of a long-lost Daedric Prince, but there’s something else arriving with the Gold Road Chapter that Matt touched on that our players have been asking about for a long time, and that’s Scribing.

Rich Lambert: Yes, and this is definitely something that the community has been asking about for years at this point. This Chapter’s big new system, Scribing, is a way for players to customize their character builds. It’s our take on a precursor to the Spellcrafting systems from previous Elder Scrolls games, with some tweaks to balance to ensure it works with our game’s combat.

Gina Bruno:So why don’t you talk a little bit about how the system works. What does it actually allow players to do?

Rich Lambert: With Scribing, players tap into the fundamental elements of Magic by unlocking special skills that they can then customize in many different ways. You’ll be able to change things like the way a skill interacts with the world, its unique effects, and more. There are also many ways to customize these unique abilities, allowing players to further tailor their builds to their unique needs. We’ll go into a lot more detail on Scribing a little bit later, and we will have a lot more info throughout the year, but we’re very excited about this system and it’s really another way players can truly play the way they want to play.

Gina Bruno: Well, we clearly have a lot to cover throughout the show, so let’s dig in. In the past, we’ve told stories that feature Daedric Princes, Emperors and tyrants, heroes, and all sorts of legendary monsters. Since our launch in 2014, we’ve continued to add to ESO’s legacy with new stories that build upon— and even add to—Elder Scrolls lore in all new ways. And this year’s tale is no exception. So, let’s kick things off with the Lead for this zone, Ed Stark, who is going to share more about the new Chapter’s main storyline, including the Forgotten Prince.

Story Details

Ed Stark: Hello, everyone. I’m absolutely thrilled to talk to all of you about the story and the adventures you’ll experience in the new Gold Road Chapter. I was the Lead for the High Isle and Greymoor Chapters, as well as the Murkmire DLC, and I’m having a lot of fun adding to the Elder Scrolls universe. Every part of Tamriel is unique and has its own emergent storylines, and Gold Road is no different. The West Weald region lies just east of the Gold Coast. Ruled by the Colovian, Count Calantius, it is an independent nation allied to the Imperial forces currently occupying nearby Cyrodiil— and it is under attack. Sweltering jungles replaced a third of the West Weald, seemingly overnight. While the Wood Elves in the region seem friendly and as bemused by the situation as the displaced Imperials, the Count wants to find out what happened, and how he can keep from losing any more of his realm. Surprisingly, however, this Dawnwood Jungle overgrowth isn’t the most pressing concern for you and your fellow adventurers.

Leramil the Wise, an ally of Hermaeus Mora, is back. She’s investigating the reappearance of Ithelia, the Forgotten Prince, who was introduced at the end of the Necrom Chapter. Leramil reveals that scions of Ithelia are searching the West Weald for her, wreaking havoc in the region. They believe that the Forgotten Prince had some connection to the Ayleids who once dwelt in the ancient ruins scattered throughout the zone. These scions are desperate to help Ithelia recover her memories and powers and show no mercy to anyone who gets in their way. Reality itself is under attack. And no one knows exactly how or why the Forgotten Prince has returned. It’s been a very long time in any Elder Scrolls game since we delved into the nature of a new Daedric Prince. What effect will the appearance of this long-forgotten Prince have on the West Weald, Tamriel, or Nirn itself? How, indeed, can a Daedric Prince be forgotten? More importantly, how can you, the adventurer, counter Ithelia’s effect on the West Weald? Well, I’m not going to tell you— at least not yet. You have to play Gold Road to find out. But don’t worry— in addition to the eccentric Leramil the Wise, you have some new and returning allies to help you unravel these mysteries. There’s Beragon, ex-adventurer and brother to Eveli Sharp-Arrow, and Tribune, Alea Idolus, a brash Colovian Centurion working for Count Calantius. Outside of the main story, we’re bringing back the vampire, Fennorian of the Ravenwatch, Khajiit investigator, Mizzik Thunderboots, and a few other fan-favorite allies to also help you in your journeys.

There’s political intrigue rivalling the tales told in Orsinium and High Isle, supernatural threats on the same scale as Summerset and Greymoor, assaults on the West Weald as powerful as any fiery dragon attack in Elsweyr or Daedric Dark Anchor invasions from the base game long ago. Players can choose how they progress the main story of the Gold Road as well. There’s a nonlinearity to the quest line, similar to that presented in Wrothgar and Necrom. You’ll have to follow the threads to see just where they take you. And over everything is the threat of the Forgotten Daedric Prince and her minions. There’s something for everyone all along the Gold Road. I’m looking forward to seeing how you fare. Good luck. And happy hunting in the West Weald.

Bringing the West Weald to Life

Gina Bruno: Since ESO’s launch, we’ve added a ton of new areas for players to explore across all corners of Tamriel, and even the realms of Oblivion. Ed just shared some details about the story in West Weald, so now let’s learn about how the team brought this space to life. To tell us more about this world you can explore in the latest Chapter, we’ve invited ESO’s Art Director to share more about this colorful—but chaotic— part of Tamriel.

CJ Grebb: Hey, everybody. I’m CJ Grebb, Art Director for The Elder Scrolls Online, and I’m pleased to be able to share with you more about The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road’s unique zone, the West Weald. For those of you already familiar with southeast Cyrodiil, this will be the first time you can return to this bountiful part of Tamriel since The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion way back in 2006.

The new zone features three unique biomes, each with their own distinctive look and feel. In the southeast lies the Gold Road, a temperate environment similar to that found on the Gold Coast. It is home to the region’s capital city, Skingrad, the bustling center of the zone and lynchpin for the Colovian Imperials who call the West Weald home. Towards the southwest, you can find the Dawnwood. Formerly part of the West Weald, this area is now home to the encroaching jungles of nearby Valenwood. In this part of the zone, you’ll discover a dense wilderness climate inhabited by advancing Wood Elves from the settlement of Vashabar. In the north of the West Weald lies the Colovian Highlands, a mountainous region that is home to an Imperial settlement and numerous Ayleid ruins. The Highland’s rocky soil and dry climate is ideal for the region’s famous vineyards. When designing this new zone, the team wanted to capture a region undergoing a dramatic change, and generally we try to make every zone in ESO feel unique, so much so that a player can instantly recognize what zone they’re in merely by looking around. Combining these ideas led us to paint the biomes and the bright colors of seasonal change. Highlights of orange, red, and yellow punctuate the West Weald, giving the entire region an autumnal feel.

Classic Colovian architecture inspired many of the zone’s structures. However, the Colovian Imperials of the West Weald are wealthy and cosmopolitan, so the art team imbued some high-end motifs and designs throughout, although this, of course, changes the further from Skingrad you travel. As you explore the zone’s rolling hills, rocky crags, and bustling vineyards, you’ll encounter many Ayleid ruins of various sizes and shapes and have an opportunity to delve deeper into this part of Tamriel’s ancient history. We got to have a little fun here, as we consider these Ayleid ruins less spoiled than other similar locations you may already have visited. As a result, there are structures and architectural pieces of Ayleid culture you’ve never seen before. Speaking of things never seen before, the dense, humid forests of neighboring Valenwood seem to have taken over a significant portion of the West Weald practically overnight. This consumption of traditional Colovian territory is a cause of some concern for the Imperials, as you might imagine. Even more alarming is the Wildburn, a volatile area that separates the Dawnwood from the Colovian Highlands and Gold Road, comprised of sickened, magically twisted land and even more volatile beasts.

While the land itself is changing, it is also under attack from a host of new, unfamiliar foes. Daedra never before seen in the Elder Scrolls roam the countryside, including Shardborn and aspects of Ithelia that herald from the realm known as Mirrormoor. And if all of that wasn’t enough, the Wildburn has taken to magically corrupting the indigenous beasts of the land, resulting in danger around every turn. In the West Weald, we’ve created a beautiful world in flux, besieged by change itself. It’s Imperials meet Wood Elves meet Oblivion, and it’s a world unlike anything we’ve created previously. We can’t wait for you to explore it.

Chapter Features

Gina Bruno: I always love when we can share behind-the-scenes info about all the research and care that goes into creating a new zone. Rich, why don’t you talk a little bit about what else players will encounter in West Weald.

Rich Lambert: In addition to the main storyline, the zone contains new delves and public dungeons to explore, side quests to experience, and world bosses to contend with— everything you would expect from a Chapter. There’s also an all-new 12-player Trial to challenge your group, and the introduction of a new type of World Event.

Gina Bruno: And, of course, there’s also all kinds of rewards you can find in the new zone, including new item sets to loot and craft, unique collectibles to unlock, and special antiquities to scry and dig up, and a lot more.

Scribing

Rich Lambert: And of course, that’s all in addition to the new Scribing system.

Gina Bruno: That’s right. In previous Chapters, we’ve added new classes like the Necromancer and, most recently, the Arcanist. We’ve also added new gameplay systems that we continually update, such as treasure hunting with Antiquities; our deck-building card game, “Tales of Tribute”; even our Housing and Furnishing system; and of course, Companions system, which allows you to bring an ally to fight alongside with you. This time, with Gold Road, we’re adding a new way to further tweak your builds just how you want them. We know everyone’s been waiting patiently for more information on this new system, so let’s kick it over to Kira to explain exactly how it works.

Kira Ross Schlitt: “Play Your Way” is one of Elder Scrolls Online’s biggest pillars, and we’re always looking to give our players even more ownership over their characters and their skills. For Scribing, our system focus was around roleplay and choice. We wanted to give our players the power to customize skills to enhance their roleplay and have more agency in choosing and creating those skills that are right for them. With Scribing, we’ve created a new ability for every weapon skill line, and a few more. Each of these new skills, or Grimoires, has customizable elements that you can swap out to suit your needs while maintaining a fun and balanced experience. Every Grimoire has a base function: the thing it always does. For example, the new Bow Grimoire, Vault, has you shoot the ground with an enchanted arrow, creating an area of effect, and then backflip out of danger, enabling a quick, tactical fire-and-escape ability, but you can personalize it from here. Every Scribed skill also has three Script Slots, a Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary, which allow you to change the ability’s specifics. Want to double down on poison or bleed? Set one of those as the primary script of Vault and now that’s the damage type of its AOE. Primaries determine the main effect of the skill and its resource cost. But perhaps you’re more of a ranged healer character? Keep it ally-focused, and customize Vault with a heal Primary, and add either a heal-over-time or stamina-recovery Secondary for any allies in that area of effect. Secondaries are about individualizing that skill to better match with your build or roleplay. This is where we have more unique effects that tie into the identity of the parent skill line. For example, a unique Bow Secondary gives the player a stack of the Hawk Eye Bonus, increasing damage on their other Bow Abilities for a short duration. Finally, you’re able to add a buff or debuff to Vault as its Tertiary effect, perhaps Minor Maim, Minor Expedition, or Minor Vulnerability. That is a lot of ways to customize just this skill, and we have even more scripts and combinations to be revealed in the future.

But Scribing isn’t just a system for tinkering with skills— it’s also an exploration into the ancient origins of Magic, following the legacy and discovering the secrets of the Mage who first learned to manipulate those energies. You’ll need to own the Gold Road Chapter to unlock the system. One more thing: when we were deep into this customization headspace, we loved the idea of having our skill visuals better reflect our players’ roleplay goals, and perhaps feel a bit fresh if they’ve been playing for a while. When Gold Road and Scribing launch, we’ll also be adding a select number of Skill Styles. These Styles are color variants of popular Abilities from Weapon, Guild, and World Skills, like Wall of Elements will have a new purple version; Trap Beast, orange; and Mage Light, a green option; so that when you equip those abilities, you’ll be able to select which version you want to see. By the way, in Gold Road, all of these Skill Styles will be earnable as in-game rewards. We have a lot more planned for Skill Styling in the updates after the Chapter, too. We can’t wait to share more about Scribing and Styling with the ESO community in the coming months and see what new metas, builds, and more come out. See you soon.

Gina Bruno: Scribing looks like it has the potential to really change the way our players play the game.

Rich Lambert: We definitely believe it will. And Scribing gives our players a level of flexibility with their builds they’ve never seen before in ESO. The new customizable abilities can be used by any class, allowing players to maximize an aspect of their build or perhaps give them a new way to fill a gap. The system also provides a brand-new avenue to customize their visuals, too, and we know just how important fashion is to our community.

Gina Bruno: Well, the good news is you won’t have to wait too long to play because Scribing arrives with The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road on June 3 for PC/Mac and June 18 for Xbox and PlayStation consoles— and it’s available to pre-purchase now. You can visit elderscrollsonline.com for more details. Now, as many of you watching might expect, this Chapter isn’t the only major release in 2024.

Scions of Ithelia Dungeon DLC pack

Rich Lambert: There’s a lot coming this year. We’re kicking things off in March with Update 41 and our newest Dungeon DLC pack, which includes two new dungeons: Oathsworn Pit and Bedlam Veil. These two dungeons will have you explore a training ground for the followers of Malacath, and a secret vault within the demi-realm of Maelstrom. Both dungeons help set the stage for the upcoming Chapter release and storyline. These dungeons will be available in Normal and Veteran modes, and have their own Veteran Hard Mode difficulties, with all the unique rewards you’d expect, including new Item Sets and collectibles. As always with DLCs, these new challenges can be purchased in the in-game Crown Store, or they come free as part of ESO Plus.

Gina Bruno: If you want a first look at these new dungeons, be sure to tune in to our next ESO livestream, as we’ll be joined by Lead Encounter Designer, Mike Finnigan, to share all the details about this upcoming Dungeon DLC.

Update 43 and 44

Rich Lambert: That’s not all we have going throughout 2024, either. Update 43, which is scheduled to arrive in August, will be another base-game update, similar to what we did in 2023. That includes a host of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements with some pretty exciting features, including something housing-related. And finally, Update 44 will close out the year out by introducing two new in-game Companions, and something we’re not quite ready to reveal yet. But to all our PvP-minded players, you might want to pay particular attention to this update.

Gina Bruno: Well, you’ll definitely want to keep an eye out for more information on our plans as the year progresses. Okay, we’ve gone over so much already, but as with any major Chapter release, there’s a ton of in-game rewards you can get when you pick up Gold Road. Let’s find out more about the various editions and pre-purchase rewards for The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road with Community Managers, Jess and Kevin.
