Yesterday, we announced The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind and unveiled the action-packed announcement trailer. From the return of an old friend to the debut of a powerful new class, there are many unique details in the trailer. Did you catch them all?
In the first moments of the trailer, you hear Dark Elf assassin Naryu Virian addressing Vivec. As the story unfolds, you get a first look at what she has been up to since you last crossed paths. The Morag Tong assassin has come a long way since your first meeting in Deshaan, and she is on her own important mission. With Vivec’s approval, she has traveled to the wilds of Vvardenfell in pursuit of her quarry: the Grandmaster of the Morag Tong.
Why she’s hunting the Grandmaster of the Morag Tong, and why she’s talking to Vivec about it, is a story that’s yet to be told. Clues about the events that led up to the moments in the trailer are inNaryu’s Journal, a detailed art book that comes with physical copies of The Elder Scrolls Online Morrowind Collector’s Edition. Powerful secrets are hidden in ancient Dwarven ruins, but though the Dwemer are long gone, their secrets are still well guarded.
In pursuit of her prey, Naryu fights through the Dwarven Spiders and Spheres. In the heat of battle, a Redguard Warden joins her to pursue the Grandmaster and protect her from the Dwarven constructs. He uses a depiction of Sleet Storm, one of the new Warden abilities. This ability creates a hailstorm around the caster to deal damage and reduces the impact of incoming attacks for the Warden and his allies. With a ferocious war bear at his side and powerful frost-based nature magic at his disposal, the Warden makes a formidable ally. This new class will be available to play whenESO: Morrowind launches in June.
Together, Naryu and the Warden put an end to the treacherous Grandmaster, fulfilling her contract. But their battle is far from over – as we leave Naryu and the Warden, they prepare to face-off against an entirely different kind of foe: a Dwarven Colossus. You’ll have your chance to battle one of these hulking constructs in the Halls of Fabrication, a new Trial coming with ESO: Morrowind.
As the trailer concludes, off in the distance we’re treated to our first glimpse of the Red Mountain and Vivec City. Both iconic locales were in the original Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind game, and you’ll be able to visit them again in ESO: Morrowind this June.
There’s a lot to be excited about – we hope you enjoyed The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowindannouncement trailer as much as we have! You can expect to see more ESO: Morrowind coverage, including gameplay video footage, guides, and articles, on elderscrollsonline.com in the coming months.
