Earlier this week, we announced the upcoming Chapter, The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr, and the year-long Season of the Dragon storyline. Check out how the team announced this new adventure and all the post-show fun from around the world.
The Big Reveal
On Tuesday, January 15, ESO’s Creative Director Rich Lambert put on some pants, travelled to the Twitch HQ in San Francisco, and revealed both The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr and the year-long Season of the Dragon storyline. Even better, we blew up our targets for concurrent viewers almost immediately, meaning Rich is now committed to getting an ESO-themed tattoo later this year!
