We're thrilled to welcome our Xbox One and PlayStation®4 players to Dark Brotherhood, the latest exciting DLC for The Elder Scrolls Online. From the port city of Anvil to the Great Cathedral of Kvatch, the business of the Brotherhood consists of carnage and mayhem – and business is good! Will you plunge right into the Dark Brotherhood main quest? Explore the Gold Coast and take on new group bosses for Bounty Quest rewards? Or maybe Contract Quests and taking out targets with the Blade of Woe will be where you start – the choice is yours.
