■ A Brand-New World to Explore
In the upcoming High Isle Chapter, you have the opportunity to discover a part of Nirn never-before-seen in the Elder Scrolls series: the ancient island home of the Breton elite. Within the Systres Archipelago, explore a bountiful tropical atoll, ringed by stunning white cliffs and host to both majestic castles and dense jungles.
—Venture into High Isle.
With two unique areas within the Chapter, High Isle and Amenos, you can experience the chivalric culture of the Breton people firsthand as you traverse deeper into the island and its mysteries, see its spectacular locations, and take on challenging quests.
The Shadow of Conspiracy
In The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle’s main storyline, you are charged with uncovering the plots of a sinister order of knights that threaten the peace and security of High Isle. At the head of this rogue group stands the Ascendant Lord, a mysterious force seeking to claim an ancient legacy.
—The menacing Ascendant Lord.
While the main storyline is a stand-alone tale in its own right, the events of the High Isle Chapter continue the greater Legacy of the Bretons storyline that begins with the Ascending Tide downloadable content in March and will progress throughout the entirety of 2022.
A New Way to Play
The High Isle Chapter also introduces a gameplay system, Tales of Tribute. A tavern card game that allows you to compete against your fellow players and NPCs, this fast-paced, deck-building game provides a new way for Tamriel’s adventurers to relax and play.
—Play a hand of Tales of Tribute.
As you unlock decks and cards, you can challenge NPCs in taverns all over Tamriel, and compete with your fellow players to rise up the leaderboards. Visit local taverns and win to unlock unique rewards, including achievements, collectibles, and more!
Unique Challenges and Rewards
Finally, this Chapter also brings a host of challenges, collectibles, and rewards not found anywhere else in Nirn. These include two Companions, Ember and Isobel (complete with their own questlines, personalities, and abilities), a host of delves and public dungeons to explore, item sets and rewards unique to the High Isle zone, more Antiquities, a new type of world event, a formidable Trial, and much more—a bounty awaits you within the ancient home of the Bretons!
—Encounter new challenges and rewards.
■ The Elder Scrolls Online: Ascending Tide
The Legacy of the Bretons year-long adventure officially kicks off with this year’s first dungeon downloadable content, Ascending Tide, featuring two challenging new player-versus-environment dungeons: The Coral Aerie and Shipwright’s Regret. In these exciting new four-player player-versus-environment activities, you’re tasked with investigating the remnants of the once-proud All Flags Navy and assaulting a costal hideout of the mysterious Ascendant Order.
—Strike a blow against the Ascendant Order.
In these adventures you encounter some fan-favorite characters, including the dashing Jakarn and Captain Za’ji, and can acquire supplementary Achievements, item sets, and collectibles. What you find within these mysterious new dungeons sets up the events of the upcoming High Isle Chapter and impacts the larger Legacy of the Breton storyline—gather your allies!
You can get access to the Ascending Tide downloadable content game pack via The Elder Scrolls Online Plus membership or via purchase with crowns from the in-game Crown Store when it launches on PC / Mac and Stadia on March 14, and Xbox and PlayStation consoles on March 29.
