The Elder Scrolls Online is gearing up for its next expansion, Gold Road, set to release in June 2024. Coinciding with the game's 10th anniversary, the expansion introduces 'Scribing', a new system that brings the highly anticipated feature of spell crafting to the MMORPG. Available on PC, Mac, Xbox, and PlayStation, Gold Road introduces not only a fresh ability customization approach but also a new area in the West Weald region of Cyrodiil, which encompasses the Gold Road forest, the Valenwood Annexation jungle, and the Colovian Highlands. The expansion includes a new 12-player trial, Lucent Citadel, and continues the story with the 18th Daedric Prince, Ithelia. The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road promises to redefine player builds and potentially tie into future Elder Scrolls series lore.

What new features does the Gold Road expansion add to The Elder Scrolls Online?

The Gold Road expansion for The Elder Scrolls Online adds the long-awaited spell crafting feature in the form of the Scribing system, new collectible styles, a new zone called the West Weald with its diverse landscapes, a 12-player trial, and deepens the game lore with the introduction of the 18th Daedric Prince, Ithelia, and her realm, Mirrormoor.

The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) is an online MMORPG set in the Elder Scrolls universe. It has been a staple in the genre since its launch in April 2014, and has received numerous expansions that considerably expand upon its lore and gameplay systems. With the 10th anniversary approaching, the game continues to offer new experiences to its player base, which has grown steadily over the years. The Gold Road expansion not only commemorates the anniversary but brings features that fans of classic Elder Scrolls titles like Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion have been longing for, such as spell crafting, which furthers the depth and immersion that the franchise is known for.
