A beautiful new world to explore, a new game system to master, a host of new stories and characters to experience, and much more are coming in the High Isle Chapter of The Elder Scrolls Online. If you happened to miss the preview show (or want to rewatch it), check out the entire livestream below.
Eight years ago, today, The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) was released. I started ESO on April 1, 2020 and have since spent hundreds of hours playing it on Steam and Xbox. Needless to say, it quickly became my favorite video game. Since its inception, ESO has been overhauled, enhanced, and updated, making the game a fantastic experience for its millions of players. In honor of its eighth anniversary, let’s look at some of the major milestones in ESO history.
The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) is heading to High Isle this June! This new chapter and the year-long “Legacy of the Bretons” saga were announced during the 2022 Global Reveal Event. As a new owner of an Xbox Series X, I’ve been playing ESO daily and loving it. And, mind you, this was after playing more than 200 hours of ESO on PC via Steam. I can confidently say that ESO on Xbox is a way better experience, and I look forward to diving into this new chapter in June. Read on for videos, photos, and details from the ESO team about what’s in store for us in High Isle.
Having sunk hundreds of hours into various video games in The Elder Scrolls franchise, I’m a massive fan of this series. Therefore, I’m always looking for different ways to immerse myself in the world that is The Elder Scrolls, whether it be through the soundtracks, tabletop games, or novels. With this in mind, I was eager to read The Elder Scrolls — Zaneta’s Chronicles, Part One: Vvardenfell by A.L. Zuniga. This book is the first in a trilogy about a character named Zaneta, and it is set in The Elder Scrolls’ universe.
The Witcher is one of the most influential and successful video game series of all time. Inspired by a series of best-selling books, The Witcher universe has become expansive, now including a hit TV show on Netflix entering its second season. The Witcher video games have sold well over 50 million copies, with more than 30 million of those sales attributed to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, a game so wildly popular that it keeps getting released on new video game systems, most notably, the Nintendo Switch, which is the version I’m currently playing. But if you’re new to this fantastical universe and you want to get caught up on all of the specifics, should you buy The World of the Witcher: Video Game Compendium? Read on for my thoughts.
If you haven’t already done so, make sure to read and watch my reviews of The Skyrim Library: Volume I, Volume II, and Volume III. Titan Books, the same publisher that brought us The Skyrim Library, has two additional books celebrating the lore of The Elder Scrolls. You can read my review of the first one here. These books build on the excellence of the original trilogy by collecting lore books from The Elder Scrolls Online, and it’s a phenomenal way to immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of this celebrated video game franchise. Watch my video review below for all of the details and to get a glimpse of what’s inside the second book in this series: Tales of Tamriel, Book II: The Lore.

All of us are holed up in our homes, doing our best to flatten the curve during the coronavirus crisis. This can result in many people becoming bored or going stir crazy. Over the past couple weeks, I discovered a wonderful way to pass the time: The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO).
