High Isle expansion gets new trailer at Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase
A new trailer for The Elder Scrolls Online‘s latest expansion, High Isle, has appeared in the wake of the Xbox and Bethesda games showcase.
This year’s Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase showcased some of the most anticipated Xbox and Bethesda games, while drawing attention to The Elder Scrolls Online: High Islewho is coming to consoles later this month. This last extension for The Elder Scrolls Online brings some surprising new features to the game, as well as introducing a never-before-seen region in a old scrolls Title.
The Elder Scrolls Online arrived in 2014, an MMORPG from Zenimax offering a huge open world, fully voiced dialogue and applying many traditional old scrolls gameplay features at an MMO setting. Players have the freedom to equip weapons and armor regardless of their chosen class, as well as the ability to join organizations that each have their own skill trees. Over the years the game has received several major expansions which have added new classes like necromancers and organizations like the Psijic Order. The game even included previous old scrolls places such as Morrowind and Cyrodiil.
The final chapter of the game is high island, which was released a week ago as a 40 USD extension. High Isle brings players to the archipelago of Systres, home of the magically inclined Human Britons and their famous knights. While many of the game’s past expansions have increasingly raised the stakes to apocalyptic levels, players enjoy High Isle’s more grounded storyline, which focuses on global political intrigue rather than another existential threat to all. existence. The latest trailer shown at the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase teases part of the story, involving a plot to reignite the Three Banners War that has been going on among major factions since the game’s inception.
high island comes with around 30 hours of story content and side quests, a fair amount for an MMO expansion compared to Star Wars: The Old Republicthe incredibly short expansion from earlier this year, although slightly shorter than the recent one Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker, which lasted more than 50 hours. The new region also comes with two new unlockable companion characters who can aid players in battles similar to Star Wars: The Old Republic. A new trading card game, Tales of Tribute, has been added, giving players something new to focus on when visiting taverns around Tamriel.
While the high island the expansion didn’t bring anything groundbreaking like a new class or skill tree, the new story content is a welcome addition, and the card game can serve as a way to encourage players to explore the world of the game to work on their collection. A little like The Witcher 3‘s Gwent, it gives players a reason to visit places like taverns and interact with NPCs that they normally wouldn’t. In this way, High Isle helps to make The Elder Scrolls Online slightly more immersive.
The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle is available on PC and will be available on Playstation and Xbox on June 21, 2022.
