The Elder Scrolls Online: Flames of Ambition DLC game pack is now live and available for purchase on PC/Mac, bringing two new epic dungeons and kicking off 2021’s year-long Gates of Oblivion story. In addition, Update 29 has also gone live for PC/Mac, introducing a host of free changes and improvements for all players, including a redesigned Champion System for high-level players.  

The Elder Scrolls Online: Blackwood is this year’s massive story Chapter, tasking players with uncovering the schemes of the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon 800 years before the events of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Blackwood packs more than 30 hours of new main storyline, tons of side quests, countless quality of life features, and, for the first time ever, introduces Companions who will adventure through Tamriel alongside the player. The new Chapter will take players from the walls of the Imperial City of Leyawiin, first featured in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, to the murky bogs of Shadowfen, and of course to the mysterious region of Blackwood where players will uncover the Daedric plot at its heart. 

The new Rockgrove Trial, Oblivion Portal World Events, unique Chapter-specific rewards and more will provide ESO players and newcomers alike with an amazing year of deadric destruction. 

Your 2021 adventure begins with the Flames of Ambition DLC game pack, bringing two exciting new PvE challenges to Tamriel: The Cauldron and Black Drake Villa. In these challenging new dungeons, you must assault a shrine to the Prince of Destruction and race to uncover a mysterious tome before it is lost to fire and ash.

Within the DLC and free base-game patch, players will find: 

• Two new dungeons: Black Drake Villa and the Cauldron 
• The early parts of the story of this year’s year-long adventure -- Gates of Oblivion 
• New rewards, including item sets, Achievements, and collectibles 
• An update to the Champion System and improved character sheet 
• And more! 

In your journeys, you’ll be joined by fan favorite characters Eveli Sharp-Arrow (from the Orsinium DLC) and the outcast Dremora Lyranth (from the base game and Imperial City DLC), plus have an opportunity to earn unique rewards including powerful new items and fantastic collectibles. What you discover within these two new dungeons will set up the events of The Elder Scrolls Online: Blackwood and the rest of the Gates of Oblivion storyline. 

TWO NEW DUNGEONS: Black Drake Villa and The Cauldron 

In Black Drake Villa, players will team up with the adventurous Wood Elf scout Eveli Sharp-Arrow and search the hidden archives of a once-proud mansion that is now home to monsters and arsonists. Players can learn more details more about Black Drake Villa on the ESO web site.  

In The Cauldron, the cult of the Waking Flame has enslaved the local townsfolk and now excavates sinister ruins deep within a long-forgotten mine. With the help of the Dremora Lyranth, players will battle their way through Daedric beasts and cultists, free the captives, and put a stop to their plans. Players can read more about The Cauldron in on the ESO site. 

UPDATE 29: Champion System Redesign, Improved Character Sheet and More 

With the redesigned Champion System, players can better tailor their characters to their chosen playstyles using three updated constellation groups. The changes also introduce a champion bar, allowing players to slot up to four powerful passive boons for each constellation. 

In addition to the new Champion System, Update 29 includes other improvements and fixes, including an updated character sheet that shows advanced stats. Players will now better see how changes to their character (be it via Champion Points, abilities, gear, or attributes) impact their effectiveness. 

Players can access the Flames of Ambition DLC via an ESO Plus membership or purchase it with Crowns from the in-game Crown Store. The patch notes with all the details for Flames of Ambition and Update 29 are located on our official forums.
