The Elder Scrolls Online just turned eight years old. As players are celebrating the anniversary of ESO, the team behind one of the largest MMORPGs in the world is gearing up for its new chapter. High Isle is the sixth chapter to come to ESO and marks the next phase in the Legacy of the Bretons year-long event. We have already seen the beginnings of this story unfold with Ascending Tides. Now players are being bestowed with over 30 hours of gameplay, new music, and more. Here’s everything we know so far about High Isle.

High Isle has never been seen before in any Elder Scrolls game. There’s currently no lore around the location. During the Elder Scrolls Global Reveal, Rich Lambert, the creative director for ESO, said he the team spoke to Bethesda to ensure that the overall lore of ESO was given justice in this latest chapter. Lambert said they were given the freedom to do and try a lot of new things.

The new chapter, High Isle, is a region of islands off the coast of Summerset. Many of the monsters and creatures have taken on reef-like characteristics. Players will be able to find these enemies outside major cities.

Unlike many other stories in ESO, Legacy of the Bretons focuses more on the ‘human’ aspect of Tamriel. Last year’s event, Gates of Oblivion for example looked more at Daedric gods and Deities. The Dark Heart of Skyrim, 2020’s year-long event, told the story of vampires and Darkstorms. This year, High Isle, looks at the Bretons and their history. The story is more about politics, secret peace talks, and human conflict. There are no demons and gods in the way of this story.
