'The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited' (ALL) Thieves Guild Details, Release Date - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Jan. 28, 2016 @ 5:14 p.m. PST

The Elder Scrolls Online is the first Elder Scrolls game to allow gamers to explore the legendary Elder Scrolls world with others.

Using ZeniMax Online’s Megaserver technology, players will join one connected world with a built in social network that lets them stay up-to-date with everything their friends are doing. Megaserver technology avoids the hassle of shard selection and makes The Elder Scrolls Online one of the most socially enabled games ever created.  Whether playing alone, or with hundreds of friends, players can develop their own style of play as they embark upon an epic quest across Tamriel.

For the first time in ESO, players will join the iconic Thieves Guild – an organization of pickpockets, burglars, robbers, and thieves. As their newest recruit,  you'll sneak along rooftops, steal from the shadows, and recover lost treasures as you explore an all-new zone, experience new story content, challenge yourself with a new 12-player trial, and much more.

Join the Thieves Guild of Abah’s Landing to become the newest recruit in their organization of pickpockets, burglars, robbers, and thieves. The latest DLC game pack for The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited takes you to Hew’s Bane – an all new zone to explore located in the southern peninsula of Hammerfell. Combined with new story content that will bring you back to all your favorite areas of Tamriel, Thieves Guild offers unexplored delves, powerful group bosses, and much more!


Additional DLC Details:

  • Brand New Story Content: Help restore the Thieves Guild in Abah’s Landing, currently besieged by the mercenary force known as the Iron Wheel. After a high-stakes heist gone horribly wrong, the Iron Wheel will stop at nothing to destroy the Guild. Hours of story content await as you solve the mystery of the Iron Wheel and restore glory to the Thieves Guild.
  • New Criminal Activities: Leveraging ESO’s Outlaw Refuges, Thieves Guild quests take you all over Tamriel to engage in – and profit from – criminal activity such as stealing, looting, and pickpocketing. Heists, a new quest type, allow you to hone your thieving skills by adding trespassing and stealth/hiding mechanics that enable you to break into warehouses and homes in Abah’s Landing to relieve merchants and citizenry of their goods. Beware of the guards!
  • New 12-Player Trial: With both Normal and Veteran difficulty modes, the Maw of Lorkhaj 12-Player Trial will test your allies and your courage. Breach the gates of an ancient Khajiiti shrine, and confront the ghostly legions of Namiira in eerie lamp-lit corridors - complete with ruthless new enemies, terrifying bosses, and a wealth of treasure from the depths of Oblivion.
  • All-New Skill Line: Want to enhance your character with all-new thieving, sneaking, and stealing-related passive skills? You’re in luck! The Thieves Guild in Abah’s Landing will teach you these skills as your progress through the ranks of the organization.
  • Thieves Guild-Exclusive Rewards and Items: Earn new items through in-game quests and browse Thieves Guild-themed items coming to the Crown Store soon.

Thieves Guild will launch on PC/Mac on March 7th, Xbox One on March 22nd, and on March 23rd for PlayStation 4.

Thieves Guild is included with an active ESO Plus membership or will be available for 2,000 crowns via the ESO Crown Store. A Thieves Guild DLC Collector's Bundle will also be available in the Crown Store for 4,000 crowns. It includes the Thieves Guild DLC game pack, the Hammerfell Camel mount, the Kindlespit Dragon Frog, and five Crown Experience Scrolls.
