ESO: Dragonhold Update Now Live – Explore Southern Elsweyr!

When I’m not busy working on eTeknix content or watching Stargate repeats, I’m usually buried in whatever The Elder Scrolls Online has to offer. Even my kids are getting stuck into it these days, it’s becoming an ESO household! The good news is, today Bethesda unleashed the culmination of the Season of the Dragon. This year-long event has been pretty amazing. Offering up an interconnected adventure of dungeons, zones, events and more.

ESO: Dragonhold

The new update will bring your adventure to aband new zone in Southern Elsweyr. It’ll feature three new biomes, loads of delves, bosses, quests. Basically, everything you would expect with a new zone. Plus, it’ll let you complete the last chapter (we think) in the year of the dragon. What ESO has planned after that will no doubt follow in the new year. Either way, I’m eager to see how the game developers. It’s certainly come a VERY long way from its launch around five years ago.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
