As part of the ESO 2024 Global Reveal livestream, Zenimax Online at the upcoming Elder Scrolls Online expansion, Gold Road.
The new expansion will take place just east of the Gold Coast in the Colovian Highland and West Weald regions of Cyrodiil, which was last depicted in The Elder Scrolls Oblivion. The region contains the city of Skingrad, a location that was teased in the Greymoor Expansion. The map shown off in the post-tr𓆉ailer discussion shows that it’s filling in a vast region just West of the PVP region of Cyrodiil.
Forgotten Prince ꦓIthelia, the Daedric Prince of Paths, is the central antagonist of Gold Road. The deity is said to have the ability to mess with fate and destiny, so Hermaeus Mora deleted the Prince from existence. They were only really mentioned in ESO, supposedly teasing their appearance here. Normally, Zenimax just worked with the schemes of existing Daedric Princes, but this is the first time they really invented a new one.
The Chapter is also going to add Scribing, which is a take on spell crafting from the core series. Spellcrafting was initially planned as a feature for ESO’s release, but it was shelved, assumedly because of how difficult it would be to balance. I know a lot of players who are going to be excited to see it arrive in some form. Though, really, it seems more like it’s just skill customization. You will need to own the Gold Road chapter to be able to use this system.
Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road will be released for PC on June ও3, 2024, followed by a release for Xbox Series X|S and PS5 on June 18.
