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.

Experience the beautiful Isle of Summerset for the first time since The Elder Scrolls: Arena and explore the home of the High Elves.

By the decree of Queen Ayrenn, Summerset Isle is now open to foreigners, but a Daedric threat looms over the breathtaking home of the High Elves. Travel to the Summerset Isle, reunite with old friends, and unravel a shadowy conspiracy that threatens all of Tamriel.

Explore the ancestral home of the High Elves, an all-new zone packed with adventure. Join the mysterious Psijic Order and gain powerful new abilities. Reunite with old friends, forge new alliances, and work together to unravel a conspiracy that threatens Tamriel's very existence.

This latest Chapter is packed with exciting new features and challenges for new and veteran players alike. In ESO: Summerset, you can:

• Explore a whole new zone, Summerset Isle
• Experience an epic main story quest line, concluding the narrative that began in the ESO base game and continued through Clockwork City
• Join the mysterious Psijic Order for the first time in an Elder Scrolls game and explore their island home of Artaeum

• Master a new Jewelry Crafting Skill Line
