The Elder Scrolls Online Reveals Details on Gates of Oblivion — January 26, 2021
The Elder Scrolls Online team have revealed their plans for the major updates coming in 2021. This year will feature another year-long story arc, called the Gates of Oblivion. Gates of Oblivion will have you join forces with Eveli Sharp-Arrow and Lyranth as you unravel the plans of the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon and his mysterious Four Ambitions. Like in previous years, there will be four primary releases, two dungeon DLCs, one chapter, and one zone DLC. The names for the first dungeon DLC and chapter were announced, Flames of Ambition and Blackwood, respectively. They also provided most of the major details about the first two upcoming releases.
The Flames of Ambition DLC will feature two new dungeons, The Cauldron and Black Drake Villa. As usual, these dungeons will bring with them new item sets, story quests, and will be integrated as Undaunted Pledges. There will also be a new prologue quest to introduce the story and characters that will be featured, A Mortal's Touch. The Blackwood chapter will bring with it some major new additions to the game, including a new Companions system, a new Trial, Oblivion Portals as a world event, new delves, new public dungeons, new world bosses, solo content, as well as various minor updates and quality-of-life changes. Unsurprisingly, the chapter will be based in the Blackwood region of southern Cyrodiil, and will prominently feature the Argonians and Imperials who populate Blackwood. While its name is currently unknown, the fourth quarter zone DLC will be set in the Daedric Plane of Mehrunes Dagon, the Deadlands.

Elder Scrolls Online Global Reveal Event Delayed — January 13, 2021
The Elder Scrolls Online team has announced that the previously planned reveal event for the upcoming Gates of Oblivion story arc has been delayed. Originally scheduled for January 21st at 5pm ET on Bethesda's Twitch Channel, the preview will now be held on January 26th at 5pm on the same channel. The ESO team stated the change was due to the majority of their team living near the US Capital. Beyond the time change, the event appears to be sticking to its original plan of featuring Matt Firor and Pete Hines officially announcing the new chapter, before Jessica Folsom and Gina Bruno from the ESO Community Team take over after their presentation. Similarly, those who watch live on the 26th will still receive the Viridescent Dragon Frog pet and an Ouroboros Crate for ESO if they watch from a linked account.
The show itself will provide a look at the new content coming in 2021, with additional information being provided by Creative Director Rich Lambert, Art Director CJ Grebb, and Loremaster Leamon Tuttle during the presentation.

Following the release of its first cinematic trailer, the first physical marketing materials for The Elder Scrolls Online: Gates of Oblivion have been sent out.

Lyranth ends the letter with a request that you be prepared to assist her soon, as she would soon have need of a "mortal's touch".
The coins featured various mysterious etchings and symbols, including writing in the Daedric Alphabet. You can see the messages written on the coins transliterated into the English Alphabet here.
