Where Will the Next DLC Zone Be in 2025? | The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO)

[@johnsshed995]

I want to go to Whiterun. It would be like going home .

[@Nessaeria]

@@johnsshed995 I know I’m very excited for this!! If not this year, I’m hoping for next 🤞🏻

[@tyreseperrin223]

That was me for morrowind

[@hiromi_higuruma]

And please let Streets of Whiterun play in the background. I will cry. Skyrim was my entire childhood. Solitude may be Skyrim’s capital in the 4th Era, but we all know the truth - Whiterun is the true capital.

[@Nessaeria]

@@hiromi_higuruma I knowww I would love this so much ☺️

[@mikewilliams9069]

[@tausifqureshi8144]

I love how immersive you've put the story for the video!

[@Nessaeria]

Thank you so much 😊

[@biochemcareer]

Great Video! I've wanted to revisit Black Marsh for the last 6 years! Black Marsh is huge, we don't know enough about the Argonians and Murkmire was too short! BTW It's Sanguine Demesne pronounced and with a similar meaning to a medieval lord's Domain.

[@Nessaeria]

Oh geez I definitely made up demise 😂 thank you for letting me know! And thanks for watching 😊

[@cpttekashi]

You’re spot on! All the data mines suggest. 2025 is black marsh and sanguine related so you got it bang on :D

[@Nessaeria]

Aw, thank you! I appreciate you watching :)

[@projectjtl]

Excellent video and i do believe the reasons highlighted, there is strong evidence to ur suggestion where we are going keep up the brilliant videos

[@Nessaeria]

Thank you so much! ❤ I appreciate you watching!

[@AbramsEX]

West Weald wasn't the 15th anniversary of Oblivion but Blackwood was. ESO Morrowind was also the 15th of TESIII Morrowind.

[@Nessaeria]

Yes, I mixed that up. Thank you for sharing!!

[@_invinciScribe_24]

Whiterun would be awesome me speaking about it. Just makes me want to play Skyrim again i haven’t played that game for a long time 👍🏾 Black Marsh and Thornmarsh either way i will be happy cause it’s about time those happened.

[@Nessaeria]

@@_invinciScribe_24 yes I agree! Plus I really do think we will get some part of Skyrim in 2026 so it’s a win-win ☺️.

[@markoosh]

I want the team to be on their absolute best for Whiterun... I want a perfect Edoras... I mean Whiterun lol With how terrible Telvanni Peninsula turned out (visually at least) I'm worried to be honest. --but my personal guesses for next expansions are: Black Marsh, Elsweyr, and then Skyrim. Based on how long ago we've been into these regions respectively.

[@Nessaeria]

@@markoosh I know, I think they know the pressure is on for Skyrim! Yes that’s true, we have not been to Elweyr in awhile so that could def be coming up too. Thanks for sharing!

[@wackman9362]

Eso has has obvious call backs to the mainline games within its dlc story’s. The morrowind chapter has the false nerevarine, Blackwood had the dagon invasion. For when they go to Skyrim I would love to see a Dragonborn or false Dragonborn. As the ruby throne is still empty they could potentially be a great antagonist. To see them lay claim by right of blood would be interesting. Many places they could go with that

[@Nessaeria]

@@wackman9362 oooo yes that’s a good idea! I would love to see it too.

[@granockss9548]

I mean apocrypha is already in with a hint there on miraak in one dungeon so yeah miraak baby.

[@Nessaeria]

@@granockss9548 this is very true! He could def make an appearance !!

[@hanknorris5642]

I think the winter/frost themed skill styles are a hint that 2025 will be Eastern Skyrim and perhaps the island where the Skaal reside. There is also a Stahlrim weapon and armor set being sold in the crown store this winter. I could be wrong, but I think we will see Winterun, High Hrothgar, and the Mage school (what's it called?) the next year. The only thing that sort of makes me think it won't is I expect them to release a Dragborn class along with this, but I actually don't think they will ever create that class.

[@Nessaeria]

@@hanknorris5642 yes that’s true, and we did just have a nord costume in the golden pursuits. The only thing is that it’s not lush? But maybe they meant lush in terms of the history?

[@itzdaybreak1222]

@@Nessaeria I always thought that maybe Winterhold, at its peak, could have been made into a lush oasis amongst the tundra by the mages there, to make it more habitable. It’s a long shot, but maybe that’s what we could be getting? Also, the June 2025 Crown Crates are “Akatosh vs Alduin” themed. If that doesn’t scream Skyrim idk what does :>

[@Nessaeria]

@@itzdaybreak1222well that’s a good point! I do think it’s going to be something a little bit cryptic like that. And yes, that’s true I didn’t think about the crown store theme, that could definitely be a clue pointing to Skyrim!!

[@beilog7489]

Pleeease, the way you say Sheogorath is so confusing haha. It took me a while to realize who youre talking about xD

[@Nessaeria]

Aw sorry! I think the way I edited didn’t help as well. But that’s how Shally says it 👉🏻👈🏻

[@beilog7489]

@@Nessaeria Haha don't worry about it! The video was awesome either way, and now I’m just imagining Sheogorath with a fancy new nickname! 😂

[@K893lv]

When they released the redguard market and mine underneath home sword-singer’s redoubt they said it was also a hint at something special in the description. Could be a hint at redguard themed zone next, given it’s kinda the race that has least zone coverage compared to the rest of the races. Nords/skyrim is already covering several zones both base and dlc and greymoor was already a tribute to ES5 Skyrim so don’t think more like that. Black marsh is supposed to be lore wise completely uninhabitable for other races than the argonians (hence why we’ve only touched edges of it with current zones) so don’t think that either. I feel if any the redguards could do with more attention so hoping that’s the case. I know that doesn’t add up with “lush” tho if it’s anywhere near alikr and bangkorai so would only work if southern hammerfell that’s bordering West Weald.

[@Nessaeria]

That’s a good point, I did forget about the sword singers redoubt! And true, we do have several zones missing in hammerfall as well, but I agree that it’s not really lush! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@Cooperharley0204]

Cheers! Whiterun & Skyrim would be great for the game IMO! Game still needs a lot more TLC though than just the prototypical 6 delves, 2 PDs, some WBs etc etc Very curious given all the recent criticism if they’ll listen to the community and do something unique & different. Cheers! Great video!

[@Nessaeria]

@@Cooperharley0204 me too!! It’s going to be so cool when it comes out 🤩 Yes, I do think it would be cool to see them do something different with the zones! Thank you for watching 🙌🏻

[@Rex-The-Wolf]

Every race exept the redguards got love Imperials: gold coast, west weald and blackwood Argonians: blackwood and murkmire Dunmer: telvanni peninsula, vvardenfell Nord: western skyrim Breton: (heaven) high isle Orc: orsimer Altmer: summerset isle Khajiit: almost the entirety of elsweyr Bosmer could have a dlc that plays in the cannopy, wich would also come with the imga, but they have their province covered entirely, and they got coverage in westweald But the redguards, sure they got the thieves guild dlc, but its too small for me to count it, we REALY NEED a hammerfell themed dlc that fully plays in hammerfell, the greyhost itself kinda feels unfinished, what happened to the survivors? We know they had holdings in hammerfell, luch could also mean "oasis" Of all the dlc that could come, i hope A HUGE AMOUNT, that we will get a dlc in hammerfell

[@Nessaeria]

Yes this is true, I do feel that they need some love! There have been quite a few sword-singer items in the crown store recently so this could also indicate that we may be going to hammerfell. And who knows, they may surprise us and give us a zone there to create hype for elder scrolls VI! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@granockss9548]

It will be Soulrest, the city is linked to Sanguine, because its a major hub for cultist of the daedric prince. combined with topal isles, lush forest and swamps of argonia, and the rivalry between him and maybe sheo, with a link to shivering isles. lets see.

[@Nessaeria]

@@granockss9548 oooo I didn’t realize that sourest was linked to sanguine!! It could be this for sure, especially if lush is more of a clue for an island!

[@Daniele-PierreDuLac]

Good video and very reasonable conclusions. Not sure how I’d feel about more swamp. Tbh black marsh is my least favourite zone. Those swamps were terrible to explore through. Especially those puddles that look shallow but somehow make you dismount. I enjoy the Argonian but aesthetically their zones kinda meh.

[@Nessaeria]

@@Daniele-PierreDuLac yeah that is true, those dismounting puddles are pretty annoying. But hopefully it’s more similar to Blackwood than Murkmire!! Or maybe even swimming mounts?! 👀

[@StarOfElyon]

I guess that makes the most sense. Still, I really wanted a Redguard update because ES6 is not coming for many years still.

[@Nessaeria]

@@StarOfElyon I know, I don’t think we will realistically get VI until 2027/2028 but you never know, they could surprise us!

[@lindafortner578]

A whole question When this gold road chapter started an escalarium, there's books that glow throughout the whole place and then, and it had the word skyrim through a lot of the books we'll hear it before the end of the end of last year. I did 3I did 3 different 3 characters. And that word skyron was took it out of the books. I don't know if that might be a clue or what but the Skype is during wintertime. It's fall, so the grass is not green, and when they get spring, everything is green and lush

[@Nessaeria]

@@lindafortner578 I am really hoping that we get Skyrim towards the end of this year and if not, next! That’s a great observation, thanks for sharing!!

[@Bengamey974]

Thornmash next year would be awesome!

[@Nessaeria]

@@Bengamey974 I’m glad you think so!! We will see if we get a new zone like that with the new changes they released but I’m thinking we are getting at least part of a new zone next year

[@Bengamey974]

@Nessaeria Yes, my understanding is that we will still get a new zone but delivered by small bits instead than all at once in June.

[@navaac_9421]

I hope we'll get to visit cyrodiil during prime time

[@Nessaeria]

@@navaac_9421 like in the first era? That would be really cool, they could do like a “live the past” type quest!

[@navaac_9421]

I'm not sure you got it.. I meant 18h-23h, when the queues to cyrodiil are full because zos divided the player cap by 10 xD

[@Nessaeria]

ah ok, I’m following! Yes I think Cyrodiil needs some love for sure. I’m hoping that we see some good updates next year 🙌🏻

[@MultiKwolf]

@@Nessaeria I was thinking the same, just not the PVP part. He didn’t word his sentence right, which is fine-after all, not everyone speaks English fluently.

[@OhhLocky]

Hopefully its Black Marsh. Its one of my least explored areas in my 3k hours so itd be nice to have a reason to visit other than completionisms sake

[@Nessaeria]

@@OhhLocky I agree! I would love to get some more Argonian lore and story line. Plus would love if Heem-Jas made a reappearance ☺️

[@jdm8702]

Agreed. A lot of empty space to use and lore potential

[@blipzero]

Akaviri,the other side of the world also the underwater war is going on also there is also the opening of Oblivion and also there is also 2 more classes to come out as well ?

[@Nessaeria]

I mean anything is possible! Eventually, they may have to introduce another continent.

[@provisionalhypothesis]

Hmm. I dunno. Are swamps Lush ? I guess.... I'm hoping it's Tenmar Forest in Elsweyr. Although I'd be down for Skyrim, but others say they'll wait for 2026 to coincide with 15th year anniversary of Skyrim. I dunno ! we'll know in 2 months right ? :)

[@Nessaeria]

@@provisionalhypothesis so the reason I don’t think that it’s so straightforward is that Jake mentions that last year “Autumn” was a dead giveaway for West Weald. So I think Lush is going to have some kind of twist to it. But, I also wouldn’t mind going back to Elsweyr! And with the new companion, Zerith-Var, maybe the twilight cantors make a reappearance? Yes, they typically announce it around mid/late January!

[@provisionalhypothesis]

@@Nessaeria yeah I just did his quest this week, he is cool. we'll find out !

[@TheHeavyMetalMan11]

i only hope that there will be veteran open world finally.

[@Nessaeria]

That would be cool to see! Although I feel like it would have to be instanced or something so that new or low level characters could still enjoy the zone!

[@xmadlen]

Its weird to me that they didnt release scribing WITH whiterun/skyrim chapter. I think it would be cool addition to the school of mages. Instead, scribing is for some reason with gold road

[@Nessaeria]

@@xmadlen yes that’s a good point! It would have been such a good pairing with the mages college in winterhold!

[@tyreseperrin223]

I don’t think so because spell crafting/ scribing isn’t something that was in Skyrim. But it was in oblivion so that’s why they went with cyrodill.

[@Nessaeria]

oh that’s interesting I didn’t realize that! Maybe they will add a new warlock class with the mages college? Or Bard!

[@tyreseperrin223]

@@Nessaeria Bard would be awesome ngl

[@Nessaeria]

@ I agree, I’m really hoping we see that in the next couple of years!

[@codyblodgett3704]

I think we are going to elsewhere, it seems hinted by dialog in game

[@Nessaeria]

I think that it’s possible for sure! I wondered with getting Zerith-Var if that’s where we would be going, maybe some story line with the twilight canters? I would be down for it!!

[@blipzero]

you know from the scrolls that the land we have in the game are just but a small island on but a small pace on the world who knows we could also be able to go to other lands and there s also the other moons as well there also other races that are in the book that might come out as being playable races ? if you would like to know more just ask ? look me up in the world ?

[@Nessaeria]

Yes, that's true we could go to other lands for sure! I do think that at some point we are going to get a new race. What it will be though, I am not sure!

[@naplzt4k]

It's most likely going to be something wood elf related not argonian

[@Nessaeria]

@@naplzt4k oooo what makes you say that? I wouldn’t think so since we just had Valenwood involved but I’m curious what clues you picked up on?

[@ming45612]

Lot of doom and gloom about the Letter from the Developers about Zones. I'm of the opposite opinion. When you look at the map, there objectively aren't a lot of empty places for zones left. By reducing the dependency on new zones [putting new story content into older zones, etc], they're rationing out the land they have left. I think it's far more likely that they're realizing they'll run out of zones to put content in at this rate, especially if Todd Howard is more or less prohibiting them from touching Hammerfell before ES6. This demonstrates a degree of long term planning, they're unlikely to be putting the game on maintenance after just investing in creating Scribing and Endless Archive. The game is also very profitable. This is, in my opinion, a sign that they're being careful with the remaining space they have left rather than they're planning on putting ESO on the backburner. Look at the plans, they're not going to bother spending money on difficulty rebalancing, updating visuals and revamping combat if they planned on shuttering the game shortly thereafter.

[@Nessaeria]

@@ming45612 I am also optimistic and I agree! I don’t think that eso is dying and I don’t see them just phasing the game out. I think this could be a way to revisit zones and get more content or new systems faster without having one big release a year!! Thanks for sharing ☺️

The more detailed you make your predictions, the more likely it is you get them wrong.
