The Dark Heart of Skyrim is a year-long interconnected adventure for the epic and award-winning Elder Scrolls Online story, spanning all four updates in 2020, including the Harrowstorm DLC dungeon pack in Q1, the Greymoor Chapter in Q2, the Q3 DLC dungeon pack, and the Q4 Story DLC.

While this is one of The Elder Scrolls’ darkest stories yet, there are still heroes that spark hope: returning from the base game are Lyris Titanborn and House Ravenwatch who will take the fight to those that stalk the night.

Set more than 900 years before the events of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Western Skyrim isn’t exactly how players may remember it. An ancient vampire lord leading a terrifying army of vampires, witches, and werewolves, have twisted a once idyllic land into a dark and sinister one.

The year-long Dark Heart of Skyrim adventure kicks off for all players in Q1 2020 with the Harrowstorm DLC dungeon pack, which brings two new dungeons: Icereach, where players will investigate the mysterious storms appearing in the Sea of Ghosts, and Unhallowed Grave, a long forgotten ancient burial site that is being dug up (which is never a good idea, of course). Shortly after, a free prologue quest will open up that gives players a taste of what’s coming with the year.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor is the next Chapter of ZeniMax Online Studios’ award-winning online RPG. For the first time since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, players and their friends will return to the frozen tundra and snowy mountains of Western Skyrim, as well as venture underground into an even larger and more perilous Blackreach than ever before. While the Greymoor Chapter is one of The Elder Scrolls’ darkest stories yet, there are still heroes that spark hope: returning from the base game are Lyris Titanborn and House Ravenwatch who will take the fight to those that stalk the night.

The Greymoor Chapter features a gothic and gritty main story and side quests, harrowstorms (open world group events similar to Dark Anchors), a massive new 12-player trial Kyne's Aegis, the new Antiquities system (travel across Tamriel to recover lost artifacts and rare antiquities, unlocking powerful new gear and rewards for all types of players), public dungeons and delves, and much more. With around 30 hours of new story content to experience, The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor brings entirely new experiences toESO, presenting veterans and those new to the game with astounding new stories and content.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor will release for PC and Mac on May 18, and Xbox One and PS4 on June 2.
