Introducing, the "Glacier" teaser, the Summerset teaser image for the next chapter. This was found by the guys over at elderscrolls.net, who did some digging around the ESO site after the most recent maintenance update.

As the page mentions, it is the same filename format as the Morrowind promotional store background, just with the codename "Glacier" in the file name, as can be seen below:

https://zossgb-a.akamaihd.net/assets/backgrounds/store-background-morrowind.jpg

Why do we know it is Summerset related? The Summerset Chapter's codename is "Glacier", it is referenced multiple times in the files for the Summerset Prologue Quest:

So, what do you think? Could we be seeing this image on ESO live this week?

    Looks like Poison Ivy. Probably refers to the incoming nerfs, which traditionally come every time chapters are released and the player reactions :D

    haha nice.

    I actually loaded my browser debugger last night to see if I could find anything hidden away but found nothing, however I was searching for "Summer" and "Summerset" I guess ZOS used something less obvious.

    Maybe they decided to slow down and get some things right; maybe fix more than they break for once. It would break their cadence but the game really needs some quality passes.

    SantieClaws pointed out to me on Twitter yesterday how close PAX is now, so it could be they're holding off until a bigger event to announce it.

    There should be an ESO Live scheduled for this week no?

    If there is to be an announcement it would usually be followed up fairly swiftly by a broadcast.

    So if the ESO Live this week is not about snooty elf island or indeed the ESO this week it is not so live then it is not unreasonable to assume all will be kept under a hat until Pax.

    It's probably really just a codename, but could there actually be glaciers on Summerset?

    I think it's just a fake name.

    if they had written: store-background-summerset, everybody will have the confirmation of the next chapter.

    But if you just name it "Glacier", some will think of somewhere in North of Tamriel or just a screen of the previous DLC (Dragonbones)

    Eton Nir is the highest mountain on Summerset, with the city of Cloudrest on top.

    The highest mountain in Summerset. Said to be quite misty.

    Not a fan of the lava/cloudy atmosphere. I enjoy the forrest and lake side beauty so I am excited about the Summerset Isles. I sometimes go back to Auridon for fun because I think it's so beautiful.

      Not, it does not.

      I believe, Glacier could be a metaphor for them slowly letting the ice melt, to reveal what's underneath it.
