More information about the Q3/ Q4 DLC's

Asdara

Since E3 got cancelled due to COVID-19 we did not get any presentation or announcement for the future of the game.
Do ZOS plan on making news about it?
As a reminder last year, Elsweyr was released the 20 may for PC > we had info on Q3/Q4 around the 9/10 June (~20 days later)
This year, Greymoor was released the 26 May for PC.
It's been 33 days and still no news.
At least an announcement about a stream to catch up? Something?
I think it's a huge part of the communication problem, give us something worth enduring the performance issue. Hope?
What info (not speculation) do we have so far about Q3/Q4?

idk

I expect Zos will give us information for the next DLC fairly soon. In one announcement they have even noted a PTS session will start soon.

BTW, they did say specifically next month in a pinned forum announcement thread.

It's only been a month and you want Q4 info already? It won't come out until at least October-ish. Besides you don't even need to ask for any yourself, the Forum has a News and Announcements category, just check there periodically for anything new.

I would have expected to hear something by now, though.

As OP said, last year's Q3 and Q4 DLC were announced at the beginning of June at E3. Obviously that didn't happen this year, but we're now about a month after that. I'd assume that at least the Q3 dungeons are in their final stages at this point, perhaps delayed a bit due to pandemic stuff, but I'd expect them to be able to at least show off the basics by now.

It'll likely be delayed, but I'd expect it to release probably in September timeframe, so the announcement should come soon. If they PTS, it should be soon. Again looking at last year, the Update 23 (Scalebreaker DLC) hit the PTS July 7, just shy of a month after announcement.

It's likely we might get news next month, which would suggest an August PTS release for a September DLC release.

This is the correct timeline based on prior year releases.

Likely a mid-July PTS start for a mid-August Q3 Dungeon Pack.

There is PTS maintenance on Tuesday of this week ... but I doubt that is for the patch.

ZOS has already announced that the Q4 October small zone DLC will be The Reach in far southwestern Skyrim.

mocap

2 dungeons
some new super useless sets
some nerfs and buffs

Where was this announced? I mean the reach is a no-brainer but I was wondering if any other info dropped with it.

The Reach is a stretch

In a stream they hinted its going to be there next when they annoucned Greymoor ages ago. Also if you pay attention to the story the vampire lord even packs up and heads there. Also there is clearly the zone gate in the south west of the map. It's pretty obvious its coming.

is grappling hook already over? I thought we'd see more with these mechanics...

Maybe a new pvp mode on a vertical map where you can grapple around and shove each other from ledges ala smash brothers...

a new pvp mode or something else besides dungeon, new arena or something... solo arena or 2ppl arena, maybe a procedurally generated dungeon I dont know... but the 2 dungeons is getting a bit stale tbh

idk

And as I noted in the second post of this thread that Zos already announced that the PTS will go up this month. So we hear something in the next 2 to 3 weeks.

The thread Jessical posted in June that contains this information is still pinned in the General section.

I like the idea.

On the other hand. Since my main activity is chasing all the dungeon achievements... I'm really looking forward to 2 new ones.
