TheElder Scrolls Online’s 2021 Global Reveal Event for the next campaign ofESOwill be streamed live on Twitch on January 21st, 2021. ZeniMax Online Studio’s Director Matt Firor, Bethesda Softwork’s Senior VP of Marketing and Communications Pete Hines, andESO’s Creative Director Rich Lambert will be supplying more information about the upcoming year-long expansion that was teased at theThe Game Awards 2020. Bethesda is also giving away a free mount for anyESOplayers that sit in on the reveal.

It will be interesting to venture back to the Gates ofOblivion, even if it isn’t the remakethat fans were hoping for. Especially since ZeniMax has promised that Bethesda will continue on as it has without Microsoft putting any hands into the works. This is great news for the long-time fans ofThe Elder Scrollsseries as a whole, andESO,specifically.
While a new expansion forESOisn’t theElder Scrolls 6information that fans are craving and not a wholenew game as someElder Scrollsfans may have thought, the teaser looks like it may be a worthwhile expansion for the well-received, popularOnline. Hopefully players who tune into the reveal party will get more information next month aboutGates of Oblivion, and see what 2021 has in store for Tamriel.
