The Dark Heart of Skyrim epic concludes with The Elder Scrolls Online: Markarth.
Explore a dangerous new zone with the Reach, gather a band of unlikely allies, and confront a Vampire Lord and his ancient army. Markarth also introduces a new solo arena, Vateshran Hollows, designed to test the strength, wits, and resolve of players with challenging bosses, multiple unlockable paths, and powerful, hidden secrets.
Markarth will release on November 2 for PC, Mac, and Stadia and November 10 for PS4 and Xbox One, and it will be available free as part of an ESO Plus membership or available from the in-game Crown Store.
This new DLC will be coming to the Public Test Server this Monday, September 21, and we’ll be previewing more of Markarth in the weeks to come.

Lost Treasures of Skyrim in-game event
Beginning next week, the Lost Treasures of Skyrim event challenges the ESO community to unlock three tiers of collectible rewards that include new cosmetics, a pet, a new house, and the first of a new type of collectible: houseguests.
Players unlock these rewards by digging up Tamriel’s lost treasures by using the Antiquities system. The more treasures players unearth, the quicker fellow Greymoor players will unlock the goods.
In addition to this challenge, the event also brings bonus rewards to all players who adventure and complete daily quests in Western Skyrim. For more on the Lost Treasures of Skyrim and these bonus rewards, check out our announcement article and web page.
Here’s the lineup and dates (note that some dates may shift) for all of the year’s remaining in-game events:
- Lost Treasures of Skyrim (September 23 – October 5)
- Witches Festival (October 22 – November 3)
- Undaunted Celebration (November 25 – December 12)
- New Life Festival (December 21 – January 2, 2021)
ESO’s annual end-of-year promotion: #TamrielTogether
Finally, we announced our end-of-year promotion, #TamrielTogether. This promotion will include an amazing sweepstakes to enter, a guild-based contest, and more, so keep an eye out on elderscrollsonline.com for more information in the coming weeks.
Greymoor brings players to Western Skyrim, the frozen homeland of the Nords, and the long-forgotten Blackreach cavern—expanded from what players originally explored in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim—to fight sinister monsters while unlocking the secret of the Dark Heart of Skyrim.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor is the next Chapter of ZeniMax Online Studios’ 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 is currently available for PS4, Xbox One and PC, coming to Xbox Series X and PS5 at a later time.
