The UESP and Imperial Library interview Modiphius Entertainment — December 28, 2020
The UESP and The Imperial Library recently had an opportunity to interview Modiphius Entertainment, the team behind the tabletop adventure wargame The Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms. During the interview we had a chance to speak with Gavin Dady, Senior Line Manager, and Chris Birch, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Modiphius. We explored the creative process that goes into new sets, their relationship with Bethesda, their thoughts on other Elder Scrolls games, and much more.
Modiphius also used this interview to do a surprise reveal of their new miniatures based off of familiar characters from Elder Scrolls Online. The new models will also bring with them a series of new scenarios, including ones based off of ESO's cinematic trailers. They are scheduled for release sometime this Spring.
You can see the interview here. You can learn more about Modiphius and their games here. Modiphius Entertainment has also provided an exclusive game scenario for the UESP and TIL, which you can see here. The scenario features a conflict set in Riverwood, starring Ralof and Hadvar in a fight for control of the settlement.
New Life Festival 2020 — December 19, 2020
From December 17 to January 5, the New Life Festival event has returned to Elder Scrolls Online. By completing seasonal event quests, you can earn tickets to spend on any of the four indrik evolutions that have been released in 2020, including the final berry towards the Crimson Indrik mount. This is the last event where indrik feathers will be available, so be sure to purchase an extra set if you wish to keep an unevolved Nascent Indrik. You can also obtain a Rosethorn Indrik pet using tickets.
This year's event introduces the Old Life Observance quest, allowing you to experience the Imperial traditions of the Old Life Festival. Two new quest rewards have been added this year: the Snowball Buddy pet and Imperial Charity Writs. Completing these new writs will reward you with a page from the icy Rkindaleft Dwarven style. These pages can also be purchased with tickets. This event also offers a 100% experience boost.
In addition to the above, a promotion is currently running whereby you will be rewarded with four Akaviri Potentate Crown Crates at the end of January if you gift purchase at least five event tickets from the Crown Store during the New Life Festival.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Gates of Oblivion Trailer Revealed — December 10, 2020
A brief teaser trailer for the upcoming year of content for Elder Scrolls Online has been released. The trailer features an Argonian and Eveli Sharp-Arrow unconscious, next to a book with the Daedric Oht being burned onto its cover. With the Oht now present on its cover, the book bears a notable resemblance to the Mysterium Xarxes. As the trailer goes on, various visions of grim locales pass by, seemingly causing Eveli to feel pain, before finally ending on a final shot of Mehrunes Dagon being confronted by Eveli. As Dagon turns to face her, Eveli wakes up, revealing the pupils of her eyes have been transformed into crosses.
You can see the trailer here. A larger preview will be held on Thursday, January 21st at 5PM EST over on Bethesda's Official Twitch. The 21st preview will feature Matt Firor and Pete Hines to officially announce the new chapter, along with Jessica Folsom and Gina Bruno from the ESO Community Team taking over after their presentation. Those who watch live will also receive a Viridescent Dragon Frog pet for ESO if they watch from a linked account. You can learn more about the upcoming preview here.

Elder Scrolls Online Will Not Support New ARM-based Macs — November 17, 2020
The Elder Scrolls Online team has announced that they will not be supporting the new ARM-based Macs in the future. Last summer Apple announced that their new Macs would stop using Intel CPUs, a change that would require all software running on Macs to either be rewritten, or run through an emulator. Matt Firor, the Studio Director for ZeniMax Online Studios has stated that they will not be porting ESO due to the difficulties inherent with that undertaking. At the same time, he has also stated that Intel-based Macs will remain supported for as long as there are enough users to justify it.
While ESO could be run on the new Macs through emulation, this experience is not going to be officially supported by ZeniMax. The official announcement can be seen here.

Free Upgrade for ESO Players to Next Console Generation — November 09, 2020
With the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S succeeding the PlayStation Four and Xbox One, Elder Scrolls Online console players who are considering upgrading are being given a little deal. Bethesda has announced that there will be free upgrades made available for players making the jump to the next generation of consoles. This comes with some stipulations, however. If you own a physical copy of ESO for your chosen console, you cannot get a digital-only console if you want to receive the ESO upgrade, as it will still require your disc to play. Additionally, you cannot switch from a PlayStation 4 to an Xbox Series X or Series S or an Xbox One to a PlayStation 5 and receive the upgrade.
The upgrade will also be made available to DOOM Eternal. While Bethesda has promised that these upgrades are coming, they have not announced when they will be available. They have also stated that while they do not have a time to end the free upgrades in mind at the moment, their wording also left it open for them to later announce a cutoff on free upgrades. You can read the official announcement here.
Elder Scrolls Online: Markarth Released — November 02, 2020
The final chapter of the year-long Dark Heart of Skyrim story arc has finally released on the PC, Mac, and Stadia platforms. Elder Scrolls Online: Markarth takes you to its titular city and the surrounding Reach for a final confrontation against Rada al-Saran and his Gray Host by you and your assembled allies. The DLC also includes the release of Vateshran Hollows, a new solo arena with new rewards to be earned and challenges to be conquered. Markarth's release also brings with it Update 28, including the new Item Set Collection system and UI improvements for Crafting Writs.
