Play dirty; get away clean. For the first time in The Elder Scrolls Online, you can join the ranks of the iconic Thieves Guild and reap all the rewards – and risks – that come with it. We’re thrilled to welcome our PS4 and Xbox One players to Hew’s Bane and Abah’s Landing, home of the Thieves Guild! To commemorate the Thieves Guild launch (already available on PC), Creative Director Rich Lambert has a special message for everyone:
Welcome to the Thieves Guild! All of us here couldn’t be more excited about what’s in store for you with this latest DLC game pack. The zone of Hew’s Bane is gorgeous, with some of the most spectacular world building to date and equally compelling content. There are new types of traps, passive skills, delves, group bosses, and quests that take you all throughout Tamriel. There are also all new justice activities which the Thieves Guild rewards you for completing! If you love stealthy gameplay and being a thief, you are going to love this DLC.
This update isn’t only focused on new quests and small group activities, though – we have something for those who love Trials. Maw of Lorkhaj is our latest Trial, and the team has worked hard to incorporate all the things we’ve learned from previous Trials. There are some really exceptional encounters that require coordination and awareness like never before. Maw of Lorkhaj also scales, supports cross-alliance grouping, and also has both a Normal and Veteran difficulty mode. All of these features make Maw the most accessible and entertaining Trial yet.
In addition to the new content with the Thieves Guild DLC game pack, there are a number of really big base-game improvements. We’ve put a lot of effort into balance/bug fixing, improving performance in Cyrodiil, and expanding systems like the LFG tool with the addition of new incentives and cross-alliance grouping. There are also all new additions like Mementos, scrolling combat text, and of course the 64-bit client.
Finally, a huge thank you to everyone who spent time testing on PTS for this update. Both the quality and quantity of the feedback has been outstanding!
Next up – Dark Brotherhood!
